Site News :: DSL v4.4



but that wont be to hard to change in dmix, or will it? i do think that 1-100 scales is set there with a reason, so maybe it wont be a good idea to change it at all.
It isn't any problem to change - I just hadn't noticed before that John had coded it that way. I guess it would only be a problem if you really wanted to kill one channel whilst being able to alter the other. 0 can be set by setting e.g. the left volume higher than the right, selecting lock mode & then reducing the left volume until the right volume hits 0. Then select free mode & the right volume will remain at 0 when you adjust the left volume.

The code can be readily changed  - just change the '1' to '0' in the definition of the slider controls for left & right.

[edit: I've just checked a version of dmix I have from an earlier version of DSL & the sliders were coded for values 0-100:

Code Sample
left_v = Value_Slider{18,19,235,15,"L:";
  align=Align.left, type=Slidertype.hor_nice,color=12,selection_color=0,textcolor=7,
  minimum=0, maximum = 100, step = 1, value=vl_d}

]

[Edit 2: oooooops - I've just checked out the latest code in v4.4 & it does have the sliders set for a range of 0-100]

I just started up DSL 4.4. It is awesome!!!!

It is the best yet by a long shot. I am always amazed by the functionality you compress into such a small size.

The new desktop and menu look much better, less cluttered.

Very professional!

Thank you,
Jeff

The background is very clean and functional, thanks!

Some notes from my useage:

I booted from a CD-ROM and made a USB-HDD Pendrive Install
I added my locale's keyboard in the boot options: lang=fr_CH-latin1

When I then boot up my other PC with the USB key, I see that it doesn't take my locale, but lang=us. Upon check, I see that the menu.lst has both lang=us (at the beginning) and then lang=fr_CH-latin1 but apparently the first one takes precedence?

A minor bug anyhow, once you know how to fix it.

It's not a bug, just a matter of having a default setting in menu.lst. Each user should edit menu.lst to make it suit his or her own needs. That includes removing undesired (or, if you add some yourself, conflicting) settings.
