Anyone know the best way to get the Author / Title columns swapped around in the browser window ?
Read some about a Parser DLL, but there doesn't seem to be deatailed info about what it is, how to use it and where to find it.

Hello,
You're right, the parser has nothing to do with the column position.
To permute Author / Title, do this:
1) open regedit
2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREVirtualDJ
3) edit the "ColumnOrder" key and put 1 instead of 0
4) launch Virtual DJ
That's all. :)
Please, take care, don't change/delete/modifie anything else in the registery, this could cause windows crash!

@Kaleo, "thats just what the doctor ordered", I appreciate U !
How about the column header label, anyway to swap that around too so that it matches the data ? Not a big deal, just wondered... [:o)

That would be a skin adjustment I believe. I think you could go in and edit the text in the xml. I am not a skin master so its just a thought :)

Yes, I discovered that. For anyone else who needs to know, you can swap the column header titles by swapping the values in the Columns section of LANGUAGE.xml like so:
Columns>
CD>Disc
Number>Files
Author>Title
Title>Author
Disc>Disc
Path>Path
Bpm>Bpm
Length>Length
Comment>Comment
Columns>
Also, swap the values in the areas of the Skin's .xml that describes the track info like so:
For Jim Nordic Silver skin:
textzone chan="1">
size width="165" height="13"/>
pos x="64" y="18"/>
text font="tahoma" size="11" weight="bold" color="red" format="%0,0%title"/>
textzone>
textzone chan="1">
size width="250" height="10"/>
pos x="260" y="18"/>
text font="tahoma" size="11" color="red" format="%0,0%author"/>
textzone>
note: tags malformed for the purpose of displaying in the forum.

Hum... I don't think this is a good idea.
You'ld better to use the parser.dll to find the right Author/Title couple, or maybe make a new simple parser that exchange the author/title order.
Neverstheless, it's as you want...

@Kaleo, why not a good idea ? it seems to work perfectly fine.

of course, but you have to modifie all new skins you want to use... and for VDJ, title still to be the author and author still to be the title :(

Well, I don't plan to change to every new skin thats developed. I think there is value in getting used to where to find info in a particular skin.
Anyway this is a great option for me. The good thing is that it's a very simple option for anyone who chooses to do it.
Thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction.

The parser.dll is done for this, so, I will post one to read file like "Title - Authors.mp3" as soon as I will come home today...
If this can help you.
