Usually, when I start freeamp, it would give me 'assertion error' which I could ignore (not finding good metadatabase) but not now - it would trap in freeamp.exe. The problem lies in initialization routine of musicbrowser and database: Database:: constructor calls gdbm_open for m_dbase, a call

theme.ui glitch: play button turns to 'pause' inappropriately

When 'Play' is pressed, it turns to pause. If song does not play (file not found or pmo/pmi error) the button should not become 'pause' really. It should remain as 'play'. Perhaps good solution would be not to do as: [from HandleControlMessage()] if (oControlName == string("Play") && eMesg ==

theme.ui: patch to accept drag-dropped mp3 files

I do Win98, as usually. Here's the patch, I find it very useful for now, that theme for now lacks other ways of specifying which mp3 to play (except commandline args - but those do not even support wildcards...) I diff'd with -c so one can apply it by hand, not trusting patch.exe to do job right

bug: tooltip support not working after changing theme

problem: maybe you have noticed that tooltip support goes dead after you switch themes. (after you change to another theme, tooltips won't display). resolution: that happens because for some reason in Win32Window::CreateTooltips() is this code: if (m_bMindMeldInProgress) return; well
