Capitalize Dummy Text

[alecm33]

I'm trying to capitalize the dummy "Top of the hour."  I have managed to change the color using "DummyRowColor" in skin.ini, but I can't change the dummy to "TOP OF THE HOUR."  Could someone please offer a suggestion?

Interesting about mAirList: When I first learned about the program, I was thrilled that it was possible to make basic changes to the GUI. However, as the changes are made, and the power of the program becomes even better known, one can become almost obsessive in wishing to control and customize every little detail (not a bad thing).  I'm sure I'm not alone in my observation

Thank you.

Are you talking about the dummy that gets inserted on loading a database playlist (when the respective option in the Load Database Playlist action configuration is enabled?). The string is hard coded into the software and cannot be modified.

Of course, the title of the dummy can be changed manually through its properties dialog, as with any other playlist element - but I guess that's not the solution you were looking for, is it?

Torben-

Thank you for replying.  Yes, that is the dummy that I'm talking about. 

Okay, that was my original fix, changing the text in the property dialog but that didn't work.   I changed the text and then 'saved to database' but that attempted fix did nothing.  I assume that I did it wrong??

Best, Alec M.

The item is (re-)created on the fly as the database playlist is loaded, so there is no way to make permanent changes to it.

Anyway, download build 775 from here: http://www.mairlist.com/download/mAirList/v3.1/snapshot/

Then locate your mAirList.ini file, open in in a text editor, go to the "[Options]" section, and add the following line:

Code: [Select]

FixTimeDummyTitle=TOP OF THE HOUR

This will do the trick

Haven't had the time to test it properly though, so I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Torben-

Thank you!  I'm always impressed by your willingness to help

Okay, I'll get that changed.  I won't be able to do so before Saturday morning, but I'll report back immediately.

Again, Thank you...

Torben-

Hello, I downloaded and installed the snapshot.  You asked for feedback on its performance.  I'm happy to state that it worked perfectly.

Thanks again!
