VLC 1.0.2 and existing old bugs?

[wc2005]

I was very eager to update to VLC 1.0.2 but it seems it still has old bugs. I am using Windows XP SP2 32bit, I have just downloaded VLC 1.0.2 from this site. I have tried many things, but it is useless, VLC won't remember the Graphic Equalizer, volume, spatializer when I restart the player. I have checked "Automatically save the volume on exit" but the player does not remember the volume when I restart it or it just use the default volume set in the preferences panel.

The playlist is not saved, why don't our developers save played items directly into the playlist instead of saving them as recent media?

Does someone have the same problem, please let me know or you can help me configure something to fix these or they are just old bugs. Please help me, thanks.

There are like 500 bugs in VLC. Unfortunately all of those cannot be fixed with next release. EQ, volume and spatiazer issues are known ones. And playlist isn't meant to be saved, Media Library is.

Yes, I also had this issue on my 32bit WinXP Pro since the vlc player v1.0.0. For several months I hoped, the developers would be fixed in the next release. But nothing happend till now. So I watched the file operations of vlc player with Sysinternal's File System Monitor yesterday and found out, the player always tried to open a non-existent folder/File (C:\Documents and Settings\[Current User]\Recent\Destop.ini), without any success of course. So nothing happens anymore after these failed operations. This bug happens to all 1.0.x versions, since the save-playlist menu item was relocated to the "media"-menu. I rolled back my own copy of vlc to v0.9.9, which is still working fine, to wait until this problem have been solved.

Nice greetings

VLC doesn't open Destop.ini, Windows Explorer does.

Code: Select all

22 09:56:15.640 vlc.exe:6680 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\?5 NAME INVALID Attributes: Error 23 09:56:15.640 vlc.exe:6680 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\?5 NAME INVALID Attributes: Error

There were also 2 blocks of such errors and several other error message blocks in the outputs of File System Monitor after initiating the save playlist process. I can provide the whole log, if you like.

I can provide the whole log, if you like.

Yes, please.

What peeves me is that some things that worked before the new release suddenly don't... for example, VLC used to remember, in the Open File menu, whether you set the View File setting to Thumbnails, Icons, etc. Now, it just defaults back to Thumbnails every time you exit and start again. What up with that?

On the other hand, I love that it shifts the still image to the appropriate frame if you move the video forward or backward while it's paused... always hoped it would be worked in...

The open file is a windows dialog managed by windows, not vlc.
If you want the alternative, you can use advanced open file and set the option to have file browser embedded.

Of course, now my problem is: everytime I restart my computer, if I don't reset all my preferences to default before opening VLC, it just crashes, every time...
