Changelist:
- Fixed Xion executing as an Admin level application on the Finish page of the installer. Fixes access problems on Vista and Windows 7 where Xion would be running as an Admin application and be unable to have skins and audio files dropped onto it.
- Updated the validation checks for playlist only layers to include the new menu buttons
- Fixed a crash when loading skin packs
- Cleaned up the playlist resize rectangle drawing some more
- Updated BASS to 2.4.2.3 and updated existing plugins
- Added new plugin for playing .adx files
- Added sorting of the File Types list in the Add File dialog
- Modified the Component class to hold strings instead of character arrays and performed some cleanup work
- Modified the way that the Bass/Mid/Treble algorithm works so that it uses logarithmic, accumulate and average bins instead of just FFT peaks
- Tweaked the Bass/Mid/Treble algorithm to use averages instead of peaks in order to smooth out the responses
- Fixed a crash when the Playlist Window was hidden and you loaded a new playlist skin (Sizes weren't being updated as the window was hidden and therefore the update was ignored)
- Added a new Spectrum Analyser as part of the Default Visualisation Plugin
- Added Peaks for the Spectrum Analyser
- Added the ability to toggle between Visualisation modes by left clicking the Visualisation
- Added some accessor functions for plugins. More to come later
- Incremented the plugin interface to version 6
- Added a new QuickConfig class for helping with passing Configs around plugins
- Ensure that the Visualisation type is updated correctly when using mouse click
- Fixed some areas where the working directory wasn't set for the skin plugin
- Fixed the deleting of the source .xsf from the temp directory when you install a .xsf
- Modified the Configure dialog to include the Tabs as part of the TabStop cycle
- Modified the Tab order and setup for some dialogs
- Tweaked the saving of the visuals in order to fix an issue where the settings may not have been saved
- Fixed the Recent Playlist menu item so that it works once again due to the changes with the new buttons
- Added an error message when Xion in unable to Open an archive
- Modified the behaviour of the Tray icon so that single click will pause/play after the double click time has expired and double click will occur instantly, showing/hiding the interface. This removes the pausing/playing of a song when you used to double click to show/hide the interface
- Added fix to read PSD files that don't have proper string padding on their luni section names - Thanks OfficerMike07!
- Fixed the 'Play now in Xion' on a Directory so that it properly plays the first file and no longer displays an error about playing a directory
- Fixed SnapRectangles causing skins to get cropped on the top and left side when the snap rectangle was over valid pixels - Thanks Rutabaga!
- Added red/green colouring back to Xion Tray icons
- Added better bounding rectangle update for the Playlist and removed the reliance on the snap rectangle
