Hoster 5.07 Beta 1 Fixes and Changes

This is Beta 1 and we have MORE changes coming.


Here are the changes:

1. NEW - Installer For Beta Testing - This ONLY installs Hoster507b1setup.exe on a computer with Hoster installed. It adds two new Hoster “BETA” icons on the desktop; 1 for running, 1 for uninstalling. This allows you to retain your installed Hoster.exe and choose which to run.
   
   
2. NEW - Added “Hawaiian” Genre
   
   
3. CHANGED - Words Search Now Allows a Word to be ONE Character - In prior and this version we still allow a single character to be entered to search with it as the first character to match. Searching for "Lady G" will now find "Lady Gaga".
   
   
4. CHANGED - Tools Menu "Reset Displays" Command - This now forces these dialogs/screens to open on the 1st Monitor along with the Hoster screen.
   
   1. Hoster Screen
      
   2. Search dialog
      
   3. Singers dialog [attached to Search]
      
   4. Edit Singers Database dialog
      
   5. Edit Songs dialog
      
   6. Instabuttons dialog
      
   7. Show Display dialog
      
   8. Show [Singers/Audience] Display
      
   9. Background Audio Player dialog
      
   10. Marquee dialog
   
   These displays will always "reappear" when they get hidden, or... when they were on the 2nd Monitor and it is not attached, leaving their "persistent" location outside the 1st Monitor.
   
   
5. RESTORED - Search Dialog - Singers Open Folder Icon - Just like before, this shows or hides the Singer dialog so everyone can be happy!
   
   
6. FIXED - Volume No Longer Progressively Goes Silent - WOW... this was a "double-banger" that we never, ever considered users would do!
   If you set a (Playlist) Fade Out in Tools Menu > Audio Controls, THEN click; Skip, Stop, Restart, or the Random Play (yellow play) button BEFORE the fade ends, the End-Of-File is encountered before the Fade Out computing ON THESE BUTTONS finished. This caused; crashing, locking up, or acting erratically... and is now fixed.
   
   
7. FIXED - Tools > Audio Control Now Defaults to "10" - We fixed the reason it was defaulting to "0" on a new or upgrade install.
   
   
8. FIXED - Search & Singer Dialogs Now Restore Correctly - KOD: When I minimize the Search + Singers dialogs and double click it, it opens the Singers dialog by itself, but you can't minimize or close it without opening the Search + Singers dialogs again and closing or minimizing it!
   
   We changed the Search-Singers list so it now minimizes to the Task Bar instead of onto the Desktop (hidden by a full screen program.
   
   NOTE: Restoring either Search or Singer dialog will show both of them again.
   
   
9. FIXED - CRASH Running Two Copies of Hoster - With 2 databases and multiple Registry Keys shared between multiple running copies of Hoster, it's a disaster waiting to happen! You can now only run one instance of Hoster at a time.
