DOSCab/WinCab Jukebox 3.0 Beta 1 Released
Silver:
Aha - yet again superb news!! Nice one.
I was trying to think of any user-friendly way of implimentiing this one - at first I was thinking of an inital selection screen, and then adding a "back" button to the navigation screens.... Although actually having a list of genres on all the time - such as a series of tabs along the top somewhere - would be nice... but space consuming! And I'm sure everyone has there own preference....
Anyhow is fine by me - I'm trying to run this all through a 7" touchscreen(!).

Touchscreen users have a lot of flexibility but for button users this sort of thing is tricky at best. Right now, the best way I can think of is for a button to "pop-up" a genre selection list, and when a genre is selected, if either song on a titlestrip or any song on a CD fits the genre it's displayed. The same could be done for artists as well. Pop-up windows aren't very jukeboxy, but it's a necessary evil. If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to map a key to it.

That's one of the things I love about WinCab. You've made it so that everything is optional and thus fully customizable. You da man!

I think I'm over-compensating for 1.0, when I had to have people send me their CP layouts and re-compile a custom version for them... ;D

There's a minor update posted at http://webpages.charter.net/celamantia/jukebox ; nothing really exciting, but it does make this debug file an option (disabled by default), so those of you who are using the jukebox in your cab won't have to worry about it filling up the disk. There are also a couple of small bug fixes, mostly related to vertical monitors, and a couple of additional skins. The Arcade Jukebox 8 compatible skin has also been fixed.
