Feature requests for the mixer

[rp1231]

Hi, I had a couple of feature requests for the mixer.
I am using the mixer on an external monitor as an always present volume osd.

1. Ability to pin the mixer to the desktop
   (Currently the mixer randomly closes or resets to the position on my first monitor when the system wakes up from sleep and sometimes when I change my bluetooth audio device etc.)

2. Option to have the mixer open in the pinned location (mentioned above) on startup.
   (Currently have to open the mixer and place it on my second screen on every boot)

3. Have volume changes show in a pop up OSD for individual apps.

Hope you consider adding some of these.

Thanks

Greetings.
Does the mixer close completely, or is it just closing its window when your system wakes up from sleep/when you change an audio device?
I'll try to implement pinning desktop position some time later to see how and whether it's going to look and work properly.
Volume popups are in plans!

Hi,

The mixer window closes and not the application in the system tray.

And the window closing behavior doesn't seem to be consistent at all times.
The window doesn't always close when switching bluetooth audio devices.
It happens occasionally.
But it does reset to its initial position on my primary monitor.

Also I had one bit of feedback regarding the behavior of the mixer window.
Would it possible to have it as a pop up rather than a window when clicking on the tray icon.
That way it could close if I click any where else on the screen vs. having to click on the x button manually to close it.
If implemented, the mixer window could be opened by right clicking on the tray icon.
This behavior would be desirable as it would be consistent with other tray applications.

Thanks

For in the future whenever you decide to add popup's. You can get some inspiration for popup's from MordernFlyouts ( Also an app from the Windows Store ) they have a popup for main volume and the audio popup to skip and add songs.

Hi, i has some request to add use mouse scroll on the taskbar to adjust the volume of the output devices. Same feature as new windows 11 on dev channel where user can change the volume by scrolling up and down on the volume icon in the taskbar

I tried to implement this feature with the only possible way of doing this, and it works kinda weird by catching mouse wheel moves not only on the icon but on this whole area. I can add this feature if you want to.

Btw, I've implemented OSD volume notifications and will push it to store soon. I'll update the issue if/when I'll implement pinning location.

Hi G-Stas,

Thanks for implementing the OSD Volume notifications.

I needed the pinning location feature as the OSD notifications were not present.
It won't be needed at least for me as the problem has now been solved by the notifications.

The OSD notifications work great,
But I had one last request.
I just wanted to ask if it would be possible to show the OSD even when the volume is changed by methods other than the hotkey.

Thanks

Glad you liked it!
By other methods, you mean displaying notifications when you change volume via sliders in the application as well? Sounds kinda weird, but I guess I can add it as an optional feature.

Is this something that you are planning to implement?
Thanks

Are there any specific type of volume changes you want it to react to or to all changes, even when invoked from the mixer view in the app?

All changes except when invoked from the volume mixer.
Thanks.

Added this feature. Don't have time to test it, but submitted to the Store anyway, also available there: https://github.com/G-Stas/Volumey/releases/tag/v1.5.1.0

Thanks a lot.
It works great!
