Personally, I don't need to know how much time has passed since the track started. I need to know how much time is left, so I can mix in the new track.
We should have the ability to set it in VirtualDJ to REMAINING TIME once and not have to change it every time we open a new VDJ session.
This should be assignable somewhere in the CONFIG dialog box, in the Options tab.

chris, depending on the skin you use a lot of them have that feature nowadays, i use the cue skin and that feature is already built in.

Thanks tayla.
But I like the VDJ skin. I really dig the little turntables!
I'm not big on using skins that weren't specifically designed by the VDJ programmers. VDJ default skins have been tested. The skins everybody makes that I've tried, to me, seem glitchy.
Seriously, I think it would be a great feature to have in the Options in VirtualDJ.

Just modify the parameter in the default VDJ skin then - edit the XML and swap %Pspent and %Pleft around for both decks ;)

In a few of the skins you can click on the time display and it will toggle from one version to the other Chris... ;-)

SBDJ, you are a god among men! Thanks for the tip on modifying the elapsed time thing. Now I have one less thing about VV that annoys me :)

Scott, I can't find the xml file on my computer. Where does it go when you install VDJ?
Oh yeah, what's the file called?
Thanks.

OK. I found it. How do I change it? Some kind of XML editor, huh?

Copy the .xml file and past it in notepad? Edit it and save as the new .xml file?

chris open it in notepad do adjustments and close, you will be asked if you want to save and select save, then save, should be set after that.

I was able to open it and make the adjustments. But it's more involved than just swapping those values in the XML files. After I had made the changes the skin opened up and it looked the same. What was different was the values. The default display: Elapsed time was now displaying remaining time and vice versa. I have to find where the actual word: Remaining and Elapsed are and swap them too.

OK try this instead then;
For each deck find the line with the %Pspent and %Pleft lines. One will start <text and end </text>, and one will start <text2 and end </text2>. Swap the IDs around:
Old:
New:

Scott,
All you do is swap the where the 2 is, right?
The lines, values and %Pspent and &Pleft stay in the same place, but you just move the 2 in text2?
