Reposting what I said in the Elten status thread:
Wow, it's finally happening! I can't believe it! Elten 3.0 is here, even though it's still in beta, but hey! And I'm actually a user on ARM now, and Elten 2 was a pain to use, but this one is really smooth. I also updated the translation by the way, so please include it in upcoming betas. There are some things I would like to be improved though, at latest when Elten 3.0 becomes stable:
1. Bassmidi should be updated. The release number may not be different from what you use now, but Bassmidi now has a feature that I requested in the Bass forum, namely processing "bulk tuning dump" sysex, so microtonal midi files can be played properly if they have a sysex track. I tried replacing bassmidi.dll, but of course, that doesn't pass the integrity check, so updating must be done on your part.
2. Slow response in file manager when changing balance, Playback pitch, etc.
3. Sapi5 support. On Windows versions newer than 7, it lags very badly, so the implementation should be modernized. I thought this would be squished with the new engine, but apparently it's not. I have no idea how you would do it, but it would be cool. Also, in the current Beta of Elten 3, when you select a voice, the wrong voice will load, meaning the voice's name shown in the list is not the one that's actually heard. Due to the lag with Sapi5, I prefer to use NVDA anyway, but if you could improve those things, that would be great. Other than that, all seems to be fine. Ah no, wait, there is a fourth point I just remembered.
4. Accessing the forum as a guest. In Elten 2, it was at least possible to view the forums and topics as a guest. This no longer works, it just says "error", and the list of forums is empty. You just see recommended groups, etc, but they won't show, because it can't load the list. It only works if you are actually logged in as a user.
Ok, that's it, keep up the great work! If the climate in here weren't so tense, and instead returned to the way it was in, say, 2017, I would be more than happy with this. The Elten program itself just rocks.
And regarding date formats. Is there a way to set that, or will this be coming? I've seen strings for that in the translation, but they're optimized for English I guess. Of course, we have our completely numeric date formats, and you can mess with these however you want. But wehn it comes to alphanumeric formats, in Germany, we have only one, which is "dd. monthname yyyy.

I like your idea about being able to read the fora as a guest. Concerning the date, Elten has now a calender. Maybe you might be able to change something in there concerning what you were mentioning.

#6 Edited

Like I said, in the stable Elten 2 version, you can already read topics in every public group when using the guest account, you just can't post to them. Now, in 3.0 beta, you can't even read them, which I'd like to be fixed.
I already had a look at the calendar, but it doesn't seem to have a way to change that, at least as far as I've seen.

Will the Klango archive be migrated too?

#8

Also, the beginning of voice posts and messages is still cut off. I hope you can fix this. I'm so glad that the beginnings aren't gone for real. I tried saving and playing a voice message, and that played the whole message from the actual beginning.

#9

Hi @hozosch
Thanks for your contribution and I will answer it in details, tomorrow I hope. But for quick info, the audio beginning problem is unfortunately not Elten-related. It is a known issue with Bassopus plugin. :(

Ok, so is it already talked about in the un4seen forum? I'm a member there, so maybe I can bring it up there if it isn't yet.

#11

TBH I am not sure. I didn't see that, at least.

Ok, I'll just have a go at it then, and raise it on the forum. The guy there is so nice and tries his absolute best to implement requests, as he did with the bulk tuning dump midi support. Thing is, if he asks me to try an update to see if it works, I can't, because the Elten integrity check won't pass.

#13

By the way, while you're there, you can ask about lack of OGG support in Bass for Windows ARM64. Currently I've written a small workaround with our own decoding strategy, but it would be nicer to have the exact behaviour for all platforms and architectures. Thanks.

Yes, that's a good point, I will bring them both up. Since the working week isn't over yet, responses should come pretty quickly.

#15

It is still impossible to create quick actions for programs, when for example making one for youtube, it just fives error with no description when trying to run it.

By the way, I'm an ARM 64 user now, so that's perfect for testing. I'm so glad about 3.0, elten 2 was just awful on ARM.
Getting back to bass, how are we going to deal with updates he wants us to try? Like I said, Elten integrity check will fail.

#18

Hi! It is pretty easy to run Elten from code, as of 3.0 you need to only have Ruby with devkit installed.

Ah yes, heard about that. I will try that then.
