Very nice job, I like it. However, I have a couple of wishes/complaints,
too:
1) The program crashed after scanning the database ("Moose.exe has
encountered a problem and must be closed", no further hints of what has
gone wrong). Progress bar went to 100%, but no "moose.moo" file was
created.
This was probably caused by Moose trying to write moose.moo and the
thumbs folder to the program directory, which is read-only if not
running with administrator rights. I created a Moose folder under
%APPDATA% and specified that as the path for both, which solved the
problem. I think it would be a good idea to set that as a default.
2) Player names with national characters don't display properly. The
Boom in my Kitchen ("Küche" in German) shows up with an "undefined
glyph" placehholder instead of the "ü".
3) Would it be possible to use the regular Windows GUI for the program
and dialog windows, title bar, title bar buttons, window frame, menus
etc. instead of that self-made one? Pretty please? :) My graphics driver
can add its own buttons to title bars (move to next monitor, move to
next desktop, maximize across all monitors etc.) which doesn't work with
non-standard windows. Right-Click on the title bar should bring up the
system menu, which doesn't work either. And I am constantly maximizing
the main window when I meant to minimize it, because the two buttons are
swapped compared to the regular windows GUI - if possible, the leftmost
button should always be "minimize".
4) Every time I open the library window, the artist and album listings
revert to sort by "Name", even though I had selected "Sort" and "Year".
Could that selection be made sticky?
5) Cover images that are not square (like DigiPaks or Maxi-CDs) are
displayed distorted which looks quite ugly. It would look better to pad
them with the background color. Or to make that an option (distort / pad
/ crop).
Anyway, I am quite impressed so far. I thought of writing an
iTunes-like Windows UI myself, seems like you saved me some time. :)
