WineBottler 1.1.32.2

by Mike Kronenberg | Posted in c/obj-c, cross-platform, ies4osx, wine, WineBottler

A small update for this weekend. It is only served over the autoupdate feature of WineBottler. For the impatient: Open Preferences->Updates->Check for Updates... 😀

Main changes

  • ie6/7/8 winetricks WinXP should be winxp
  • Support for command line arguments
  • Add program version

for full changelog.

There is some initial work done with proxies. You might try it. Start in the preferences by entering your data.
I've also tested a hidden X11 setup. The only problem with hiding X11 is, you can't bring the windows to front by cmd-tab or activating the wrapper app... ideas are welcome... and don't alter your Info.plist... you're altering a CodeSigned package 🙂 on SnowLeopard with all the trouble it brings.

Wiki and Ticket creation should now be enabled for registered users. Let's see if this is worth it or if I've to limit access again :D.

What's down the pipeline?

  • bugfixing
  • proxies
  • howtos & wiki
  • new predefined apps... suggestions are welcome

So?
Head down to WineBottler's new page at http://winebottler.kronenberg.org
grab a build - update it - and then happy testing 😀
Mike

PS.
Txs to www.hazelmind.com for providing me another strong mirror! Hope this will keep further 403 because of bandwidth exceedances away.

WineBottler & Wine 1.1.32

by Mike Kronenberg | Posted in c/obj-c, cross-platform, ies4osx, wine

We're moving along constantly. I consider this new build beta grade, i.e. feature complete but still some bugs.

Main changes

  • all apps compiled for 32bit... this should help with 2006 Intel machines
  • developed on paths with spaces... this should help with user-accounts that have spaces in it
  • bottled apps have a toolbar now... sort of, with the most important tools like filemanager

for full changelog.

What's down the pipeline?

  • bugfixing
  • proper versioning of wrapped apps
  • howtos & wiki
  • new predefined apps... suggestions are welcome

So?
Head down to WineBottler's new page at http://winebottler.kronenberg.org

PicoPlay 1.2.0b3 [update]

by Mike Kronenberg | Posted in c/obj-c, PicoPlay

Finally, the hopefully last beta. There gonna be some smaller changes with the Visulizer, but iTunes-mode and the standalone-mode are working as I need them.

PicoPlay_1.2.0b3.dmg

The Changelog:
[new] app: register as player for supported media
[new] app: open media dialog
[new] app: openurl dialog
[new] app: drag'n'drop
[new] app: plugin-interface for other codecs (like mpg123/qt/flac/vnc)
[new] player: standalone support (without iTunes)
[new] player: can be moved to statusbar
[new] player: global hotkeys
[new] player: 5 seconds fadein at startup
[new] player: 5 seconds fadein after pausing
[new] player: pause when waking from sleep
[new] player: show metadata from library
[new] player: show metadata in growl
[new] player: add meta-data to library
[new] player: volume panel
[new] library: independent library
[new] library: index media with spotlight
[new] library: visual feedback while Indexing
[new] library: index streams and songs (if missing) from iTunes Playlists
[new] library: exclude iTunes
[new] library: automatically check for iTunes playlists
[new] playlists: independent playlists
[new] playlists: editor for independent playlists
[new] visualizer: we got a visualizer 🙂
[new] plugins: mpg123
[fix] sparkle: needs codesigning

I'm still testing dynmaic loading of code.
The good thing is: things stay out of ram, as long as you don't need it. The ugly: OS X can't unload frameworks once loaded. If you want the smallest possible memory footprint, restart PicoPlay after using the playlist.

There is a bug-tracker at:
picoplay.kronenberg.org/trac

enjoy
Mike

BTW
Post Nr. 100 😀

[update]
Looks like this version does not remove the old db file befor creating the new updated db.
Please run this Automator Workflow to remove PicoPlay preferences and track.db.

WineBottler & Wine 1.1.31 [.2]

by Mike Kronenberg | Posted in c/obj-c, cross-platform, ies4osx, wine

Things are moving and they're looking more stable now. I'm still not entirely happy with the Wine.app building process, but things should run. It's a vanilla build from the sources from winehq.org with no patches.
WineBottler has received some updates, too. Thank You very much for all the constructive feedback. More is in the Pipepline.
www.kronenberg.org/wine

I've set up svn and trac for WineButtler now. This is only for WineBottler and the launching program (WineStatus) used in the Wine.app package. For everything related to Wine itself, please refer to the winehq. So if you find bugs or have proposals for enhancements, just register and submit a ticket.
winebottler.kronenberg.org/trac

We're coming along, but again I hiss the red alpha flag.
Enjoy & keep the feedback flowing
Mike

[update]
Changed faulty bottler.sh script from wine.app
Ahhh, yes.... if you install ie7... DON'T install the update, when asked.
