That's nice!

* Added the KnobBrowser register/unregister button on the "File-Option" dialog.
How to make this work for .skin-files on XP?

hmm, currently unsupported because the thumbnail related API has big changed on Vista. i would make consideration if still there are many XP users.

It's not that important, because there won't be so muchs skins on a hd like knobs :wink:
(although there will be more XP then Vista users :D )
Better spend time for the other things (like this)

I suspect a lot of SkinMan users ARE still working with XP, that includes me :wink:
So, pretty please for supporting .skin-files on XP :)

Very well. Time to upgrade Knobman to a more up to date version.
Best regards from Johan Brodd.

Two things I noticed that might be fixed some time:
- png/jpg-textures are at the end of the texture list, not alphabetically (like in Skinman before)
- could the texture size% change accordingly when changing the main image size of the whole knob?

hi g200kg, or anyone at least... i've installed the latest version of knobman, and now the knob browser doesn't work. i can only see the typical knobman icon, but not the knob itself when switching to thumbnail...
anyone know how to solve this? i'm on xp sp3...

thanks in advance!


edit:
forget it, found it already. it's always a good thing to read the manual. ;)

Hey Gaito,
I know I'm coming late to the party-but I brought Mt. Dew!! Thank you SO much for Knob/Skin Man!! One of my SE brothers and now KVR brothers sent me this thread. So ba rump ba bump bump!! I don't wanna see it die!!
I've been trying to make a distortion pedal with a silver click on/off button-like the Rat pedal. I looked in the KnobMan example thread and I didn't see any examples of what I'm doing. If anyone has an example of one I would like to see it and study the SE structure.
I've been using KnobMan for a while and just got the point of animation in the program. I'm just not too sure how to make the button "clickable" if everyone understands? So let's jump start the thread again and post some new work!!
OG \m/

Never used Vista (literally - never), and have only one machine (laptop) with Win 7 x64. All of my other machines (4 networked DAWS/2 networked 3D/graphics) ALL use Xp-Pro (sp2/sp3). With the investment I've made in software and configurations, that WORK well with XP-Pro, I don't see that changing for a very long time.

Xp user here too
Knob Man lover with XP machines, should I say ;)

+100000 and there's a valid reason for it:
a lot of skinman users/knobman users are musicians. and like i, they skipped vista due to serious issues. now, to really switch to win7 it only makes sense if considering switching to 64bit. but for a lot of musicians that means, that they have to get all their plugins in 64bit, of which a lot of them are not there or simply won't be availlable at all, as well as (f.e. in my case) there will be no drivers for the audio hardware for win7... due to these reasons, a lot of users hesitate to do the step to win7, as win xp just feckin works. it's a flawless, very stable and bulletproove system, and if you're serious about your music, you think twice before switching to another os... not that win7 is bad, but like i said, it's a hughe step, which involves a lot of work for it to be finally set up, as well as a lot of hardware will have to be replaced, of which some isn't even possible...

so in summary, xp is, even if it's old, still a leading operating system. it's not like win95/98, where everyone was just eagerly waiting for xp, due to the fact that win/95/98 had serious issues in stabulity and performance. infact, if the memorylimit of win xp wouldn't be existing, for a lot of users there wouldn't be a reason at all to switch to win7. there's a general rule, if you're serious: never touch a running system. and win xp just runs.
