Notifier Text Length

[noroom]

The "Max letters" setting seems to only affect the %album% tag.

For example, and album called: "Burns, Scars, and Memories" with a "Max letters" setting of 15 shows "Burns, Scars, a..." if my text line is set to "%album%". If I set the text line to ""%album% (%year%)" I am adding 2 parenthesis, one space and 4 digits = 7 characters, but the text shows "Burns, Scars, a... (2004)" which is longer than 15 characters.

Also, please remove the code from the textboxes in the CAD control panel. I know you meant to make it easier to select all the contents with one click, but it's hard getting used to and goes against Windows Interface conventions.

We have to make 1.0 shine as bright as it can! :D

Right now CAD calculates the length per tag (%artist%, %album%...).

In your case (your skin by the way) try to set max letters to 8 or 9 so you'll always have at least part of the album name and the entire year.

Carlos, can you please remove the code from the textboxes? When I try to highlight something, it acts all weird. The text gets highlighted with a single click, and that is not normal windows behavior. If I just want to put the cursor in the middle, suddenly all the text is selected, and if I don't notice and start typing, it's all gone. Other applications don't show this behavior, and it would be nice for CAD to follow windows conventions. It will make the program have a more professional and polished feel. :)

I'll take a look at it.

Please? It's very annoying when I try to change something.

For example, I have "60" and I want to make it into "62", so I try to highlight the 0 to type a 2, but then the whole thing gets selected, and the 2 I type overwrites the whole number, so I have to press backspace and then type the "62". I end up pressing 5 keys instead of just 1. :(

There is no other windows application that displays this behavior. Why CAD?

Please make the text input fields act like normal Windows input fields.

Sorry I forgot to fix that. I'll do it asap.
