djDecks

I haven't seen this problem yet.
I have uploaded a new beta which improves some other problems with your skin (vertical text, selecting lengths for effects, effect knobs)

I haven't checked your scripts to show the windows yet.
In general I would recommend to use if/ifnot statements before click ShowWindow to make sure that ShowWindow is only clicked if the window isn't visible already.
This makes sure the script works even if it is run more than once.

The reason your skin wasn't working was because djDecks was only looking for startup.djscript, not startup.djdscript
I've uploaded a new version which correctly executes the startup script.

I've also fixed the problem with the playlist moving up.

Yep, much better now

So, here are the issues I found so far:
- disc object is supposed to be working in "scratch mode" (seek) while the track is stopped. right now it seems to act as pitch bender.

- transport buttons do not work in Tau skin. UPDATE: it turned they didn't work in any of the skins. I got them to function by deleting djdecks settings from '~/Libraries/...'. Still an issue, though.

- transport control tab switching does not work. The switching is done by setting a trigger on VinylControl value in startup.djdscript

- same for loop tab (trigger in startup script; tab switching gives user a feedback on whether the loop is active or not)

- i think the fonts are bigger than those displayed on windows (by a couple % - the bigger the font should be, the more visible it is). may it be related to macbook's dpi (96)?

- presets custom menu in waveforms window (upper-right corner) does not switch tabs as expected

- custom menus in fx windows don't show up at all

- i just saw the playlist window fold itself HORIZONTALLY in SPM skin (upon djdecks start)

- there's a problem with vertical text... The fonts seem, on the other hand, too small.

Things that, surprisingly, work better on OSX:
- window layout presets. on Windows, i'm having a problem with 3rd deck's fx window - i need to choose a preset twice to get it in a desired position (it's shifted by 128 px right when i choose the preset for the first time). on Mac it behaves as expected

Which screen resolution do you use?

The reason why playertabcheck.djdscript isn't working is probably that no window is specified in the tabselect.
Since a trigger isn't run from a specific window, it doesn't know which window to switch the tab on.
So I think changing it to TabSelect,mywindow:looplengthtab_on should fix it.

The waveform preset menu was a problem with case sensitivity which will be fixed in the next beta.

The fx menus will also work in the next beta. It looks like the text editor you used uses a different way to encode returns.

latest beta update:
1) my playlist window is still folding itself down to a thin line, this time horizontally and in all skins - except my good old mekkatech.org
2) input channels config still requires a bit of messing around to get vinyl control to work

New beta available. The playlist window resize problem should be fixed.

For the input channel config: I think it should work without much problems if you first select each audio device, and then select the channels.
After changing the audio device, it is possible that the channels shown are not the actual configured channels.

New beta.
The Mac OS titlebar is no longer shown now. Moving/closing djDecks can be done with the in-skin controls.
Moving one window in the skin currently moves all windows together.

how do you use the windows skins in the mac version? i´ve seen a.e. the DJICE skin is an .exe file...

You'll have to extract the exe first (using wine/crossover/virtual machine or windows pc), then copy the skin to the skins folder.

Hope this in in the right thread..

I've been playing alot with djdecks in the past months, and I really like it! It's pretty stable for most of the times, although very sporadically it just freezes on me, usually just while playing a track through vinyl control, not with a specific identifiable cause.

I got some remarks on the 'standard' spm skin though. I don't know how much time it would cost to fix it, or which are skin related and which are application related. I've pointed them out in a screenshot:



(Sorry, [img=500x400] did not work)

I think the spacing between the library buttons, as well as the colors could be fixed pretty easily, right?

The switching between line-in (for regular vinyl) and TC has not worked for me yet, although I've heard people say it worked for them. It's pretty anoying since I can't spin regular vinyl anymore now...

I hope you guys (Adion & Corey) can fix some of these 'bugs'!

Is there a way to move different elements around yet?

Also, if i leave the mixer off, and then restart DJD, the default layout reappears.

I am using the default spm3
