Bug: Multiple bugs from David D on 1.0.8

[mpogue2]

From David D:

"I am using the new version in dark mode and it looks so cool and work nice. I have some note to this ;-)

Loop turn off also by singing call
Crash if I try to work with Playlist slot #2
„Entertain“ suddenly slow down rapidly in the middle of the tune, when I stopped it and hit the play, it works normally 
Switch to cuesheet does not working
Clock coloring not working

May be I do something wrong too :-)"

Using MacBook Air M1 Entertain - XXX 000.mp3.zip

I have been unable to reproduce any of these problems on my M1 MacBook Air machine which is running macOS Sonoma.

Looking at these again, one at a time:

• Loop turn off also by singing call Singing calls have loop turned off automatically. Are you using a singing call as patter in this case?

• Crash if I try to work with Playlist slot #2 Is this reproducible for you? It works every time for me. If you can get this to fail again, could you describe the steps in more detail that you took to see this problem>

• „Entertain“ suddenly slow down rapidly in the middle of the tune, when I stopped it and hit the play, it works normally I tried this a bunch of times, and it works perfectly for me. I can't think of anything that would cause a song to slow down, other than a problem with your system that was using a lot of CPU time.

• Switch to cuesheet does not working Please check the HOTKEYS tab in Preferences, and see if "Switch to Cuesheet Tab" has a hotkey assigned to it. There is also a "Toggle Music/Cuesheet Tab" hotkey now available, if you set it. This will go back and forth, unlike the "Switch to Cuesheet Tab" hotkey, which only goes one direction.

• Clock coloring not working Could you describe the symptom in more detail here? Like what exactly do you mean by "not working"? It works every time for me!

His reply:

• Loop turn off also by singing call Singing calls have loop turned off automatically. It was my misunderstanding, „L“ key solve it :-)
  Are you using a singing call as patter in this case? Yes I use some of them both ways and that was probably reason I did not turn on/off this

• Crash if I try to work with Playlist slot #2 Is this reproducible for you? It works every time for me. If you can get this to fail again, could you describe the steps in more detail that you took to see this problem> I try it several times later but it never went to the same situation. But when it occurs it was in the moment when I try to put via right mouse button „Add track to…"

• „Entertain“ suddenly slow down rapidly in the middle of the tune, when I stopped it and hit the play, it works normally I tried this a bunch of times, and it works perfectly for me. I can't think of anything that would cause a song to slow down, other than a problem with your system that was using a lot of CPU time. I found the situation - it makes the trouble when I set sound reminder of long tip. As it starts to play sound it slows down real music.

• Switch to cuesheet does not working Please check the HOTKEYS tab in Preferences, and see if "Switch to Cuesheet Tab" has a hotkey assigned to it. There is also a "Toggle Music/Cuesheet Tab" hotkey now available, if you set it. This will go back and forth, unlike the "Switch to Cuesheet Tab" hotkey, which only goes one direction. I checked the box many times but it never works. My settings are attached with this mail.

• Clock coloring not working Could you describe the symptom in more detail here? Like what exactly do you mean by "not working"? It works every time for me! I cannot give the situation when it happened. It seems to me like random situation. Sorry. Mostly it works.

Resolutions (if any):

• Loop turnoff by singing call -- working as designed.

• Playlist 2 crashes when right click Add Track To... -- still open. I haven't seen this, but if we do, I'll try to reproduce it.

• "Entertain" slows down when Long Tip Reminder plays -- What it should be doing is "ducking" the volume, meaning, it drops the volume of the music when the Long Tip sound is played. I'll double check to make sure it's not "slowing down", but if it's doing "volume ducking", this is as-designed. It makes the sound more audible, when the music is quite loud and can "cover up" the Long Tip sound. The "ducking" makes sure that the caller notices.

• "Switch to Cuesheet" not working -- Ah, this is a different "switch to cuesheet" than I was thinking of. It's NOT the hotkey pressed case, it's the "automatically switch to the cuesheet, for the first time playback of a singing call is initiated, IF (and only if) the singing call has a cuesheet associated with it". I haven't ever had this fail (I use this feature all the time), but I will try to reproduce. Remember that it will only switch the FIRST time playback is initiated after a song is loaded, not on subsequent starts of playback. And, it will only switch over to the Cuesheet tab if the cuesheet tab has lyrics/cuesheet loaded (you should be able to check this, before first playback, just to be sure). It will not be done for patter, extras, or vocals.

Since you have some non-standard names for singing call folders (e.g. "Singers", "Singer Tape", I am wondering if the auto-switch feature works for the "standard" name, but NOT for the "non-standard" names. UPDATE: indeed, this does seem to be the bug! I'll fix this one in the next release. Thanks for reporting!

This one is #1137, and I just fixed it.

• Clock coloring -- I will watch for this random situation, and if I see it, I will open a new defect on this. Thanks for reporting!

I think I've addressed all of these that can be addressed right now, so marking ready-for-final-check.
