The following are the changes I have presented to engineering for the next V2.008 release based on your current feedback.

DONE! 1. Remove VogoneII Use - There are still occurrences of VogoneII. Change them all to Vogone2.

A. During installation the application is installed in: C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\VogoneII
Change this to C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Vogone 2

B. The Vogone icon added to the desktop is looking for the VogoneII.exe file, but the program installs as Vogone2.exe file so the Icon doesn't work. Change the Icon properties to look for Vogone2.exe.

DONE! 2. Change Manual Installed Path - The manual is installed in C:\Program Files\Micro Technlogy Unlimited\Vogone 2\Manual. Technology is misspelled as Technlogy. Change this to: C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Vogone 2\Manual

DONE! 3. Change Active Focus - When you tab to any of the slider controls, the "Check MTU" button receives the focus. Don't give the Check MTU button focus until the user tabs to it or clicks it.

DONE! 4. Change Input and Output Filename Field Operation - The Input Filename and Output Filename fields allow typing in a filename and path, but apparently do not accept this. In one case it caused a crash.

DONE! A. INPUT FIELD DESIRED PERFORMANCE:
1. Don't allow manual entry in the Input field at all.
2. Gray out the field to force using the Select Input File button.
3. Force the user to select a known filename in a known path.
4. Make the input filename path the default path for the output filename.

DONE! B. OUTPUT FIELD DESIRED PERFORMANCE:
1. Allow manual entry in the Output field.
2. When a new filename is entered (normally they are creating a new file), use the normal operation that asks if they wish to create the filename if it doesn't exist.
3. If they enter (or use the Select Output File button) an existing filename, ask if they want to overwrite the existing filename.
4. They should be able to enter the filename they want.
5. If a path is not specified, default to the same directory as the Input field.
6. IN ALL CASES --- check and disallow users entering the input filename in the output field.
7. The error message text should be: "Enter a different filename. Trying to write to the input filename is not allowed."
8. In Vogone 1 we allow this and it instantly sets the input file to zero length and then it hangs the program.

Added 07/14/01: Will be done in V2.008

5. Add Enable Loop Play checkbox:
A. When checked it shows S and E flags at the far ends of the Play Indicator slider.
B. When first enabled, the S flag is selected and highlighted.
C. With the S flag selected, pressing the spacebar while playing will move the S flag to that location, and select the E flag.
D. With the E flag selected, pressing the spacebar while playing will move the E flag to that location, and select the S flag.
E. With loop play enabled, play will continuously loop between the S and E flags. If they have been moved, then the area looped on is shortened.
F. To move the flags back out, click the Enable Loop Play check box off and back on. This resets the flags to the ends of the song.
G. Ideal - Allow clickand drag of either flag with the mouse.

6. Pan Position Adjuster:
A. Reduce the adjustment range to increase the resolution in the critical area.
B. Remove the numeric field as it has not value in the process.
C. Add 2-pixel higher tic marks every 10 locations. Make the Center position 3-pixels higher.
D. Reduce the length of the adjuster to accomodate the appropriate adjustment resolution range.
E. Change the Vogone 1, Vogone 2, and Play Original button locations.

7. Change the Adjust Output Level control:
A. Make it only amplify - attenuate is not needed
B. Move the "0" to the bottom
C. Change the amplification range so it can clip most songs at full adjustment range.
D. Make the adjuster control higher to gain more adjustment range.
E. Add a VU Peak meter to the right of the adjuster.
F. Add a group box around these items.
