Fernplay 0.7.0

Fernplay 0.7.0 comes with an installer, can run fully portable, and lets you seek with the mouse wheel.

New

• Installer. Fernplay-0.7.0-win-x64.msi installs Fernplay in a few seconds, for your Windows account only, with no admin prompt and nothing else to install (.NET is inside). Fernplay appears in the Start menu and under Open with for music files and playlists; folders get Play in Fernplay and Add to Fernplay playlist. To update later, run the newer MSI: it replaces the old version and keeps your settings. Uninstall from Windows Settings > Apps, which also removes the Explorer entries.
• Portable zips. The zips now carry a portable.txt file, so Fernplay keeps its settings, library and skins in a Data folder next to Fernplay.exe, ready for a USB stick. On its first start a portable Fernplay copies your settings from an installed one. Delete portable.txt to keep using %APPDATA%\CodeKunde\Fernplay as before.
• Seek with the mouse wheel. Scroll over the position bar to move through the track, 5 seconds per notch (up = forward), just like the wheel over the volume bar. It works on the rolled-up strip and with classic skins too. A radio station has no position, so the wheel does nothing there.
