Are you running AROS native?

Thanks in advance.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Here is the complete package of the 5 Skins, in the screenshot instead the Icons "Dual-PNG" I created for AROS One, OS4, OS 3.9, OS 3.2.

Thanks AmigaSystem.

I looked at the MUI classes in AROS ONE and found that I had different Zune classes than you.
I was sure I downloaded latest TheBar etc. but does not matter. RNOTunes Working as it should now
I will try AROS ONE more in the next few days.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

On AROS One there is the updated MCC_TheBar package, but you have to replace it with the fix version otherwise RNOTunes does not work properly.

On AROS One there are many more things than in the Build, I created new Datatypes descriptors and modified existing ones, now all the most common various format files (Audio, Video, Text etc..) have a custom icon and tool, both Wanderer and Dopus4 side, many files will be recognized even without extension.

When you try it you will find so many things and so many special configurations created by me, almost all the most known third party software is installed and configured, each application has its custom icon, AROS One icons are "all" Dual PNG created by me, about a thousand in Blue, in the next AROS One v1.9 there will be also the new White drawer icons.

Thanks for the skins. BTW. how do you create the glow effect in PNG icons? If you want, I could include your icons in my archive too.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes I have attached an Archive with all the IconsDualPNG for RNOTunes

Creating Dual-PNG Icons is super easy to do with "Icon Editor," see attached video

Icon Editor is an excellent native OS4 Icon Editor, but there is also AROS x86 version, you can also find it on my AROS One.

I use an OS3 version which is faster, more qualitative but the OS3 version was never Distributed, use your own copy from Betatester.

You have to be careful, "Icon Editor" if run on OS4, will produce native OS4 Icons (a kind of PowerIcons), while on AROS and OS3 the icons produced with Icon Editor will be standard Dual-PNG.

On AROS and OS3 the developer was telling me that there are some things missing to be able to create them Native OS4 Icons, I'm fine with that anyway, I prefer better Dual PNG Icons.

To create good Glows the images, They must have excellent transparency, must be smaller than the actual size of the image, this is to have a transparent space on its edges, otherwise you will get a bad Glow.

The Glow can be of different colors, for example on White icons Yellow Glow is not good, I for white icons use the various effects, mirror or other effects, or an internal Glow created on Paint, see attached video

Completed GFX for RNOTunes, now Skins are 8, I attach download link, replace all previous skins, because there was some minor tweaking on some buttons.

Ok, thanks!

JVP: I was thinking that if the file requester would go back to last directory you went, adding album art would be very easy.

JVP: I was thinking that if the file requester would go back to last directory you went, adding album art would be very easy.

Unfortunately MUI's PopFile objects can't be set with a default path, as far as I can see... so this is more up to OS what its file requesters offer... for example, on MorphOS you get the directory history with right mouse button on the requester, so it makes it quicker to jump to the previous dir, but I don't remember now if AROS has anything like this...

In any case I myself rather add an image into an album directory and avoid editing single tune properties if wanting cover images for albums...

I originally thought that the properties editing is only a fall-back solution if nothing else helps and not to be used for all files generally. Mainly for formats that don't contain metadata and files that aren't arranged on "album" directories.

But one solution that came in my mind, can't you just copy the directory text into clipboard and then just paste it on another tune? Should be quick to just select another tune, hit command-v, select yet another tune, cmd-v, etc?

AROS the right mouse button shows in the Request File the various Volumes, to reach quickly, but you can also do this with the "Volume" tab.

To speed up a "Music File" path, for example you can do an Assign to the MusicFile folder, and quickly have the "MusicFile" Volume available in the Request File.

Or RNOTunes you can set a default Request File path, this will allow you to have the Music path available as soon as you open the Request File, to do this you need to mofify the RNOTunes Hollywood config file

See discussion posted here:

Thanks for the suggestions 
Edit the Hollywood config. I will try.

MPlayer on AROS remember last directory.

MPlayer on AROS remember last directory.

MPlayer every time it opens a path it saves it in its "Conf" folder the file name is "Lastvisitedpath"
