Kazaasearch 2.2 - Now With Cddb Request

[KazaaSearch]

I am pleased to announce the release of KS 2.2:

1. CDDB request window for getting track listings and adding them to the search schedule

2. Minor improvements in the interface. People continuously f*cked me with claims that some options did not work, although they just forgot to check the corresponding box and/or to press Save Changes button. To diminish number of such stupid claims, I was forced to ensure that input boxes are disabled unless you check the box. Just to explain visually to those brainless creatures, that they HAVE to check them if they want something.

You may say, that I hate my users. NO, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! I spent many hours to make these disable-enable features for each input box! And I did it for freee.

Thank you, Flinger. I program in C++ under Visual Studio, and without MutherFuckerClasses. Pure WinAPI forever! LOL

First, from your post...

while, from your site.i.

"Note: if the following picture of the main dialog window is larger than your screen, you will need to increase resolution in order to run this program. Sorry! Actually I am a newbie in GUI programming :) "

:rolleyes:

Well, my circumstances unfortunately require exclusive use of 800x600. That's the size of my W98 virtual machine's window running in my Mac Powerbook. I hate continuing to miss out on using your program even in all of its current GUI newbieness due to having to use an 800 pixel-long window on my 1024x768 laptop screen 'cause I need access to both OSes at once, and that's the only way I can do it.

If you can't figure out how to make your windows scale down for 800x600 use, I'm hoping you might redesign your prefs setup by adding another tab or so to the panel and moving many of those checkbox items to added panels...or some other solution reducing that 1024x768 minimum requirement and thus vastly improving the program's GUI. Think of the love...

:D

I am thinking to split the main control window into Search List and Editor, so that "search list" will have only a list and a couple control buttons, and if you wanna edit an item, you just click it and edit in a new popup window. In that case, both windows could be made less than 600 pixels in width.
