Feature Request for the in_vgmstream Winamp Plugin by Tallgeese at 7:32 PM EDT on June 25, 2010
This is not a 'bug' per say, so I didn't think it belonged in the bug tracker.
Essentially, the issue is that the Windows file type dialog can only read the first 260 characters worth of file extensions.
The way Winamp finds out what files should be in the dialog is by asking the plugins what filetypes they currently are handling.
This becomes an issue regarding vgmstream because it has so many filetypes that it takes over the add file dialog: you can't even reach "All Files"!.
Would it be possible to add a setting that allows the user to disable the support of specific filetypes in in_vgmstream that they not going to use? Sort of like how Winamp's internal plugins, such as in_mod and in_mp3, let you specify available extensions (which in turn removes them from the Add Files dialog). This would help alleviate the problem... more or less.
Yes, this is possible, the Winamp plugin was designed with this in mind, I just never got around to implementing the selection dialog. It builds its extension list from an array of strings, it should be easy to exclude certain ones based on configuration. However I have just about zero interest in messing with a) Windows GUI crap b) configuration save/restore crap.
Pretty much with Hotcakes said. I'd imagine that most people who use this plugin would be happy with a config file with a string they can edit or something.
Well, if you ever find the time to do something like that, it would be much appreciated. Thank you for listening regardless!
How are you storing the settings as they are now, anyway?
