Esperance 1.90 observations & Suggestions

[sweet-lovelle]

Bug? While the scroll wheel on a mouse works great... the right edge finger-drag equivalent on a touchpad no longer does. It's not a big issue, but it worked previously and I relied on it a lot.

Don't have any problems with it!

Milky, I've just had a play with AHK controlling esperance via keyboard commands.

This seems to work for me...

After 2 weddings the only thing I don't like is the background color. For my eyes, the black makes it really hard for me to see the titles.

Thanks, JJ. Your code is pretty much the same as mine. I eventually got it to work by including an additional {Shift up}. For some reason, as Steve indicated, the shift stayed on after the stop. Oh, and I was using SendInput, not SendPlay.

I've had Windows think that various modifier keys are stuck (<Ctrl> especially) on various occasions - without using any automation software.  I had to press the keys on the keyboard to un-stick them.  You might want to check that Sticky Keys has also been disabled because Windows will switch that on if it sees a number of consecutive presses of the <Ctrl> key for instance.

is there any way to go back to my ots 1.8576

Backup your media library, remove your otsav license key, uninstall your current version, delete the Ots directory.
Delete the OtsAv registry keys. (Maybe somebody can give the exact registry path, because i do not know at the moment)
Install 1.85, install license key, restore media library, and your done.

c) New laptop, new trial software, so I have to select all and add to category again....WHY oh why is there not an ADD ALL button when adding cats....I've had to press YES 128 times!...yes it's OK to add DANCE as a category, please just add all of them without asking me!

Hey H8,

If I understand you meaning correctly you are killing yourself.  After you get ESP up and running open your media library file from 1.85...and all your cats and files are there in ESP.  Takes about 5 seconds.

Milky,
I chose sendplay due to the nature of your problem. Seemed to provide the most reliable solution without interuption, and not "Simulated".

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm#SendPlayDetail
SendPlay's biggest advantage is its ability to "play back" keystrokes and mouse clicks in a broader variety of games than the other modes. For example, a particular game may accept hotstrings only when they have the SendPlay option.

Of the three sending modes, SendPlay is the most unusual because it does not simulate keystrokes and mouse clicks per se. Instead, it creates a series of events (messages) that flow directly to the active window (similar to ControlSend, but at a lower level).

Like SendInput, SendPlay's keystrokes do not get interspersed with keystrokes typed by the user. Thus, if the user happens to type something during a SendPlay, those keystrokes are postponed until afterward.

Although SendPlay is considerably slower than SendInput, it is usually faster than the traditional SendEvent mode (even when KeyDelay is -1).

Ots Steve,

Is there a way to hide Karaoke and Video files in the library, this could also be done to remove Audio files for Karaoke DJs.

Can you show me a way to do this via OHML system?

Another question regarding the OHML queries alrady made for us, is there a way to add out own to the list?

Cheers
Nick Pollock

Nick, if you set the rating of all your karaoke files to 0. Then in the options menu (I can't remember where just now) there is the option to hide all songs rated 0. That way they don't show up in the ML until you wnat them to. Thenm you just reverse the hide all songs rated 0 option.
