= Release 1.2.3b =
* hopefully fixed a bug with interacting with panels ui


But did you fix this?:

Is there a way to have multiple value tags list separately in a browser panel?
same question as @tberman333 here....
i used to be ok, it doesn't anymore (maybe it has something to do with to move to Vista?)
Whatever, switched to 1.2.2c it works.


Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

Is there a way to have multiple value tags list separately in a browser panel?

For example, I have a tag called style and for one song I have:

Style = Rock; Funk; Jazz; Mellow

I have a panel setup with this format:

$if2(%<style>%,<MISSING>)

But that returns all the values on one line separated by commas.  I would want each value to be listed individually and when any of the values are selected the track would show up in the Browser playlist.

It works this way in Album List, but I can't seem to get it to work in the Browser.

Thanks!

I use that same bit of code and it returns my multivalue tags as separate tags. Maybe the problem is that your style tag was not formatted as a multivalue tag? If that is the case, go to preferences > advanced > the properties dialog node. Within that node there is a Multivalue Fields setting where you can add tags you wish to be formatted as multivalue. Add your style tag to that.

You can tell if a tag is not being formatted as a multivalue tag when you're editing a tracks tag value. In the Edit Value window it says Use ; character to separate multiple values on the bottom of the window. If that phrase is grayed it means your tag will not be formatted as a multivalue tag.


hey
thank you for your answer. i did everything but im still missing something.

here is my preferences:
multiline fields: COMMENT;LYRICS;BIOGRAPHY
multivalue fields: ARTIST;ALBUM ARTIST;PRODUCER;COMPOSER;PERFORMER;GENRE
standard fields: Track Title=TITLE;Album Title=ALBUM;Date=DATE;Track Number=TRACKNUMBER;Total Tracks=TOTALTRACKS;Disc Number=DISCNUMBER;Total Discs=TOTALDISCS;Singletrack?=SINGLETRACK

i tried to rewrite tags with the separator ";" (it's was already like that) and rescanned my music library and still it doesn't work.
whats wrong with my foobar?

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to implement a feature such as "Pin artist/album/whatever to top of list" in any future release. I use browser a lot of time, though I find there are certain artists and albums I select more than others, which I would like at the top. No problem if this is particularly difficult, it's just a personal preference.
If at first you don't succeed, so much for hang-gliding

you could change the sort string to do this.

Edit: I think this was fixed/changed. %<tagname>% works with latest version for me.

The "Sort" function is either entirely broken for me, or (hopefully, probably) I'm missing something really obvious. I have read that it is buggy, but I seem to be the only one who can't get it to do anything.  I've read through this whole thread and tried things that other people have had success with, with no luck. 

Anything other than an asterisk (*) in the "Sort" box results in the browser panel putting all the entries in a completely random order. 

I don't really understand the coding well, but my browser format is currently set up to sort by album artist (to handle compilations by grouping them together) and place any leading "The" at the end of the artist name.

Format:
Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%album artist%,4),The ),$right(%album artist%,$sub($len(%album artist%),4))', 'The,%album artist%)


But if I put anything at all in "Sort," it shuffles everything out of order in the Browser panel.  I am making sure to refresh by shift+right-clicking in the Browser panel and reselecting my checked browser; all this does is mix up all the artists like I have described.

What's the latest on this+Vista?

Is the newest version stable with Vista or not?

Is there any way of making this behave like iTunes/Winamp, where double clicking anything in the browser makes it play in the current playlist (in Winamp, double clicking in the library erases the contents of the playlist and plays whatever you double click, that's what I want)

There's probably a very simple way of doing this, but I'm a very simple person

Well I've switched back to 1.2.2c but multivalue fields still doesn't work - I I've reinstalled 1.2.3b because previous versions make my foobar to crash on Vista 
So bad because it's a really useful plugin

Hi everybody!

Does anybody knows if it is possible to select an artist that is part of a compilation album, and show all the compilation in the list, not only that artist song?

I'll try to explain.  I have three panels with genre, artist and album.  I have a soundtrack album that have many artists.  Actually, I have $if2(%album artist%,<MISSING>) in the artist panel, and use the album name in album artist field for compilations.  In this way, I don't have a lot of artist with only one song in the playlists.  The problem is that I can't actually see the artist that play in that compilation.

What I want is, if I select an artist that is part of that compilation, the playlist show all the album, an not only one or two tracks, that are played by the artist.

I have been trying a lot of diferent ways, but I don't know if it is even possible.

Well, thanks for your help, and regards!

I have a tag field called "style" which is a multi value field. Is there anyway to have them separated into individuals? So American Underground, Punk, Alternative Pop/Rock, Hardcore Punk, L.A. Punk would be broke into 5 different lines. I hope you get what I meant.

If i remember correct %<style>% will split the styles, if they are multivalued (as your are).

OMG now I've understood 
You have to use %<style>% using the "<" and ">" too! Great!

Is it possible to configure this plugin that only "Album Artist" shows up if it is present in an album instead of each va artist?

foo_browser

Reply #745
Yes

%album artist% remaps to $meta(artist) if $meta(album artist) isn't present.

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to change the row heights of the browser panels?

I've changed the row height in the playlist window (ie. Display > Columns UI > Playlist View > [Option] = Vertical item padding = "x")
Changing "x" to what ever required will format the main playlist/song list - but I want to match the browser windows/lists to format the same...

Any help?

Thanks!
