thanks a lot...

Cool! Nice work. Here are some comments/requests/suggestions:

- x64 build
- additional builds that do not include Mediainfo (and are thus much smaller)
- insert audio/video source menu does not seem to work here, it shows no list
- text info: remove obsolete refresh button
- text info: let it ignore the "display as file name" option for the source filter, so that it always displays both the filter name and the file name
- text info: only show file name, without full path
- text info: use "File:" instead of "CurFile:"
- text info: add clsid value to level 1/2/3 as well
- text info: remove connections from level 1
- filter dialog: replace "unregister complete filter file ..." by just "unregister file ..."
- I personally prefer the old blue colors. The red somehow make my brain think there is a warning whenever I open a dialog.

Next features : an x64 build & an audio performance tests feature...

[SEt]

GraphStudio is interesting tool, but I find the interface of GraphEditPlus way more convenient with information directly available instead of endless dialogs.

[Kurtnoise]

UI seems ugly for me...

[SEt]

Always opened properties window and filters list with quick search are way more usable than having to open dialogs for everything. Multiple graphs are useful sometimes, but not often.

[MatLz]

Is this the one wich costs 60$ ?
Really expensive for just more minor features.

Thanks to Kurtnoise btw.

[SEt]

I'm talking only about ideas of improving interface, not suggesting to buy that.

Really expensive for just more minor features.

Thanks to Kurtnoise btw.

It provides code generator and API call log.
and its graph DOES look good especially the crossing lines.

[CPlusSharp]

Hi, I am the author of the fork. Thanks for sharing and improving the programm. Like the author of the original GraphStudio I can programm on this only in my (rare) spare time.
So if somebody likes to help me with the development, feel free to ask. I'm always searching for ways to make the programm better, but I only know my needs for the programm. If you have a good idea or features you like to see, please submit a feature request on the development page (http://code.google.com/p/graph-studio-next/issues/list). The same applies to bugs with the programm.

@Kurtnoise Is it ok if I apply your changes to my code?

I had the idea to integrate some helpfull filters directly into the programm, so i don't need to register such filters on computers where i use the programm. Filters like the Timemeasure or a Statistiks/Log-Filter or a Dump filter (with the option to write a bitmap). What do you think about this idea?

@SEt I have played with GraphEditPlus and the only only benefit i have seen was the "Scan Interface" option. I didn't like the interface, it's to much, I like more the GraphEdit style. And a code generator, I don't know how you work, but the code I use to create a FilterGraph in my programms is way to complex to be creates with such a tool. What does the API-Call-log look like, I hadn't seen it last time I tried the programm?

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

yes, you can merge my patch...;)

[clsid]

Could you make it use mediainfo.dll dynamically instead of statically linking it? That should reduce binary size significantly. Many people already have the dll on their system, and it also makes updating it simpler.

[CPlusSharp]

The mediainfo.dll is dynamically linked, the problem with the filesize is the statically linked MFC library (version 10 seems to be alot bigger than the older versions, 6 or 7, I don't know). To have only one exe file, i need to link statically to the mfc. I will try some tips from the internet, but i don't think i will get a significant smaller filesize.

[clsid]

That MFC problem can easily be fixed. There is a trick for it, which involves adding three tweaked MFC files to the project.

Search for the commits mentioning "MFC bloat fix" here:
http://mpc-hc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mpc-hc/?view=log

[CPlusSharp]

I have seen this "Fix" some time ago, but I don't like it. I think, today the filesize of a single tool-exe doesn't really matter. Or what do you think?

I noticed a bug that occurs only in the x64 build. Both in new and previous one.
The source filter name ('display as file name' disabled) shows garbage (Chinese characters). After viewing the filter properties, the characters disappear, leaving only an empty box.

Thanks, I have created an Issue (http://code.google.com/p/graph-studio-next/issues/detail?id=78) for it. I can reproduce the error. I even get an other text everytime I try it. It seems as if the string with the filter name is not in the memory anymore or the pointer is wrong.

[zambelli]

Any plans to add Media Foundation support? Directshow might not be with us for much longer...

[paradoxical]

VfW was supposedly superceded by DirectShow 16 years ago and it's still around. Why would you assume DirectShow is going away any time soon?

[zambelli]

Because Microsoft has considered DirectShow a legacy API since 2006 (when MF shipped in Vista), and by definition legacy APIs are not actively developed and are the first to get axed when significant changes are made to the OS architecture. Case in point: there is no DirectShow support in Windows RT. Sure, there's a chance DirectShow will survive another 15 years in Windows x86, but if I had to pick a horse for the race my money would be on Media Foundation now.

[paradoxical]

But as I said, VfW has been a legacy API for far longer, it was superceded by DirectShow in 1997, and is still around in Windows 8. I can't see DirectShow going anywhere anytime soon.

[CPlusSharp]

I see some potential in Media Foundation, but it's not well supported by third party decoders and encoders. I hope someday there will be more.

There will never be support for Media Foundation in GraphStudioNext. It makes no sens to mix these two technologies. GraphStudioNext is a DirectShow tool, not a Media Foundation tool. The overall concepts are broadly similar, but still different. Maybe if I work more with Media Foundation, I will try to implement something like "TopoStudio", a replacement for TopoEdit.

[axlt2002]

Hi All,

I'm actually using GraphStudioNext to play a graph built with Virtual Audio Cable and AC3Filter in order to have Dolby Surround in videogames.

The only "issue" is that every time I want to play a game, I have to open GraphStudioNext, Load the graph and push the play button. I was wondering if there is some way to have those passages made automatically, e.g. through a batch file that calls some command lines.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

-------------

Solved: just type GraphEditStudio graphname.grf -run

Graph-Studio-Next 0.7.0.430

http://code.google.com/p/graph-studio-next/

Lots of new features. A big thanks to those who've contributed code and issues.

Please add any comments or bug reports in the issues section on the Google Code site. Thanks.

New Features:


Navigate around filter graph using keyboard. Arrow keys navigate between filters, control-arrow navigates between pins, shift key extends the selection. Newly created filters are connected to the currently selected output pin. Escape key to clear filter and pin selection. Shift F10 or menu key for context menu. Enter or Alt Enter for properties. Delete or Backspace to delete filter(s) or disconnect pin(s). Shift Delete or Backspace to disconnect filter(s).
Connect pin offers popup menu of available target pins to connect to. If selected pin already connected, reconnect with the same media type (or use intelligent or choose media type modes if enabled). If two filters are selected, connect the filters together via the first available pins.
XML files now saved under new .grfx extension. .grfx file extension is registered with Windows
Preview and filter DbgLog? file output in property page (NB DbgLog? works in debug filter builds ONLY). Also configure registry settings for DbgLog?.
Better support for creating filters directly from DLLs instead of CoCreateInstance?. Scan for CLSIDs implemented by DLL, create the filter from the same DLL when graph is saved to .grfx file and reloaded (impossible to support this for .grf files though). DLLs appear on the File menu as recently used files (but don't clear the existing graph when 'opened'). Property pages are created directly from filters DLL class factory with fallback to creating via CoCreateInstance?. Can be used to run two different versions of the same filter side by side in a single graph.
Disconnect selected filters
Show H.265/HEVC decoder specific configuration
Show streaming progress in windows 7 taskbar
GraphEdit?-style options for auto arrange filters and auto resize to fit graph
Looped playback

Context menu item to find filter in filters window
Optionally save XML, GRF and screenshot on every save
DXVA-Null-Renderer added to internal filters
Optionally hide filter enumeration stats from statistics window
More robust matching of different GUID formats in GUID lookup window

Different icon for 64bit version
Various keyboard access improvements (e.g issue #221 - Ctrl+Enter for switching between property pages)
Visual Studio 2011 and Visual Studio 2013 project files


Bug Fixes:


More reliable pin connections when loading from .grfx file or .grf file with internal .grf parser
