Hi Chris,
I just installed a new monitor so of course the first thing that I wanted to try was your Beta 6. I just downloaded a new copy, set the music path and launched it.
No problem. Then I thought I should set the resolution and aspect ratio to my new screen size 1920x1200 and 1.6.
Now the application crashes every time I press Esc to exit. So trying to help I set the debug level to 5. Works perfectly every time! Put the debug level back to DISABLED and it starts failing again.
Thoughts?

The problem seems to happen with the default.skn. I was trying bjrock28.skn and it doesn't have the problem.
I also have a couple of questions. When I set UseZero=True the zero is used as the first number instead of the last number. Is there any way to change that behaviour? i.e. The first label has A0 and A1 instead of A1 and A2.
On my real Rock-ola juke box the title strips are numbered differently than they are in WinCan. The first label is A1 and B1. In other words every label in the first column is letter1. A1, B1, C1, D1. Is that a possible?
The reason I am asking is that now that I have a wider display I would like to try a skin that has 5 or 6 columns of labels. The problem is I don't see how I could access the 6th column and if I use 5 columns the 0 seems to be in the wrong place.
I sure do like the new way of laying out the title strips though. It is a breeze!

Sounds like something's overrunning a buffer. I don't know of anyone using the juke at this high of a resolution, so we're in uncharted territory. Can you set back to the default skin and debuglevel=5 and send me the resulting log? Even if it doesn't crash, it should give me an idea as to what's going on.

Not at this time. UseZero is really meant for numeric keypads, not the alpha-numeric entry method. Is it really A10 that you need?

With the standard dual-strip labels, the second song on a strip always increments the second digit, not the first. It could, of course, be done using the single strips, but I'm sure that's not what you want....

I take it you're having trouble with the 5 and 6 buttons? By default, the 5 and 6 buttons above the letters on a keyboard are mapped to coin entry, like MAME, but all of the numbers on the keypad are mapped to their equivalents. Look in controls.ini and remap to taste.
If that's not the problem, I'm not sure I understand why you can't access the additional columns.

Yeah, it was a real pain to lay out skins the old way. You can use multiple StripGrids, though, so for those who really like laying them out the old way it's still available.... :)

1. I will go back to the default skin and send you the log.
2. I was trying to cheat and us A0 rather than A10 but the ideas was that A1 should be the first title. I was pretty sure this was going to be the answer.
3. No, you are the correct. I was just commenting on how a real jukebox is layed out. That is how they are able to access 160 or 200 titles, 10 number and 16 or 20 letters.
4. No problem with the 5 and 6 button, I have that under control. The problem is that the current system uses 1 & 2 for the first column, 3 & 4 for the second column, 5 & 6 for the third column and so forth so you when you get to the fifth colum you only have 9 left, or 10 if that was possible. Is it? Then the sixth colum should be 11 & 12 if this is possible but I didn't think it was. I hope I explained that correctly.
Talk to you soon...
