I'm the proud inventer of (and possibly only coder using?) single clicks in the workspace. It all started here:



And evolved through this...

Have fun skinning!

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I did see your skin and was *very* interested by it, but unfortunately I am using Silverjuke on Mac, and this skin requires a seemingly Windows only .DLL.

Is the workspace single clicking done through the .DLL or through some scripts from the skin I could use as templates to make my own (if that's ok of course)?

Also, is there a chance you could compile this DLL for Mac, if that's easy or/and possible? Thanks a lot in advance!

That is not good in this case... But only the last (v3 beta) of my skin requires the DLL. The others are normal scripting and should run unchanged on a Mac.

The trick is in BlueTouch v2, in main.sj, in DetectOneClick(). That function is called on a timer and continuously tests if a user has exactly 1 track selected in the workspace. If so, he has 'clicked' it, thus the track can be queued. That's all there is to it

Not even if you'd send me a Mac... The code of the DLL is 'borrowed' from all over the net, and is at least 75% very MS-centric. It would have to be rewritten by that amount to run on a Mac. But the good news is you don't need it for the single click.

Good luck,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

And how do you make this work for when "touching" an album cover in your skin? I understand the loop for the track, but how do you manage to "select" an entire album by clicking on its cover rather than its name in the workspace?

Thanks a million in advance for your help.

That only works when the workspace is in Silverjukes 'cover view' mode. F3 toggles through the mode, you need the one with the album art with a single trackname below.

It does not work that way. You can only queue a single track. Either in cover mode, where you can select the cover. Or in 'album view', where you can select the text of a track but cannot select the album.

In my Bluetouch v3 beta I can make Silverjuke jump through hoops, but for that I need my DLL library.

(For some showing off see for what the library can do, but you need to borrow a windowsmachine somewhere )

Thanks for your help, I understand now.
