Was wondering if you know why this happens or is there's a fix? thanks

And thanks for all your time yourve spent on it. Great plugin.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Is it only happening on Vista machines?

Yes, you need Windows Vista. I guess you need Aero Glass, so at least the Home Premium edition. See: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Window ... a1033.mspx

Found an error:

In a "Vizard Executeable Setup" dialog box, it says "Error Creating Directory"

Not sure what this means, whenever I try to use MonkeyFlow that box appears and nothing is loaded. I have tried reinstalling, deleting my settings in the .ini, deleting my art cache folder but cannot find anything wrong. Has anyone else experienced this?

PS This starting occuring tonight, after opening MM. This morning it worked fine (So says the MF.log file, dated this morning says) and the only thing I've done since is defrag my hard drives. (with MM closed)

EDIT: Worked fine when started MM this morning. Weird..

OMG, this plugin is BADASS! I've been waiting for this for a looooooong time! I'd tried Pretty Pictures, and as promising as it was, unfortunately it was slow & kept crashing me out of MM. Yours works very smoothly, though - thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

1 tiny little suggestion.. perhaps a setting that lets you choose the angle? The center image looks a little top-heavy. Otherwise, it's absolutely perfect. Nice work. :D

Just had the same exact error.. and it corrected itself the next time I ran MM. A minor thing.. still, nice work. :)

I have had this happen when Winviz has failed to shut down the last time i used MM. I found if i shut it down and re-started MM all was good.

I've tested MonkeyFlow on multiple Vista machines, with Aero enabled, and still haven't been able to reproduce the problem. Very strange problem.

Thanks! I've already added a setting for selecting different viewing angles. It will be in the next release.

Hi Flashk, any chance of implementing a few things I had suggested in your next release? In case you missed them, these were

1. the ability for monkeyflow to show only albums from the selected tree node
2. the ability to show the cover art in a jewel CD case
3. the ability to "flip" the CD to reveal the rear album art

Oh, and I thought of another;

4. the ability to group CDs by the same artist in "stacks" (like windows media player does) to allow quicker browsing

Many thanks,
Dan

PS good work!

Really great Script!

In a future version, would it be possibel to have a hidden "Now Playing" list at the very right of the screen when running MonkeyFlow in full screen mode? If you for instance run your mouse over a small arrow at the right of the screen you pull out your "now playing" list and hide it again when moving the mouse away. It should be possible to use this "now playing" list as you normally would, like dragging around and removing entries.

Keep up the good work!

Sometimes Monkeyflow picks "cd.jpg" instead of "folder.jpg" to display the album cover. Is there any way to set "folder.jpg" as the default, or to manually select the cover which is displayed? Thanks !

this plug in is AMAZING. thank you so much. As for those having problems with it using vista, I have encountered the problem as well, but mostly only when i do not run MM3 as admin. Make sure you run it as admin and you wont have any problems. If you can't run it as admin, try shutting down and starting MM3 many times, i found that after 3-4 times of restarting it it Monkeyflow worked well. I also had to uninstall minilyrics. If you have mini lyrics installed, try uninstalling them completely and try again.

I have a question though. Is there a way to make Monkey flow display album art of the "Now Playing" playlist? For some reasons Monkey flow only automatically changes the album art when I click on songs under the "My Lbirary" node, but will not change when clicking through the Now Playing. This is very annoying as the regular display album art works as it should but not Monkeyflow. Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix it?

Doesn't work for my computer. MM3/MonkeyFlow was always running as admin (even UAC deactivated) and minilyrics wasn't installed ever.
