foo_utils, plugin discussion Options

[BelleAndZEK]

With Text Tools, is there any way to find a specific string in a ripping log in the same foilder as my mp3s and return true or false if the string exists?
Also, is there a way to get the Width and Height in pixels from my Folder.jpg files?

If not, is it possible otherwise with Foobar2000?

Thanks

There are no functions that read data from text files or images in foo_utils. I do not know, if some other plugin can do this.

WSH panel mod can do both those things.

howdy, Is it possible to get the functionality that I asked about in this thread:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....&pid=668992

But I am now using foobar 1.0.3 or so.

Hi, in 8.3 i have a keyboard shurtcut to "send to playlist/temporary entry" This sends the song to the previous (left tab) playlist, and focuses the playlist.

is there something like this in 9.6.9? the thing i see is "send to playlist..." which asks you every time which playlist you want it sent to.

what i do in 8.3 is open a blank pl in a tab, then my 'all' playlist. i can easy make cd's or pl's by hitting S (to send it to the blank pl) and then W (focus back to the 'all' pl, via Previous Playlist)

thanks

Tanx,

I have a problem with the text tool and the encoding....I need to export the %lyrics% tag contents to text files in ansi, so I was using this TF:

Header:
$ansi(%artist% - %album% '('%date%')'$crlf()$crlf())

Body:
$ansi(%tracknumber% %title%$crlf()$crlf()
%lyrics%$crlf()$crlf())

I also tried to wrap the ansi function directly around the lyrics tag, saved text file is always UTF-8 w/o BOM
Could some kind soul point me into the right direction?

Short answer: There is no option to make foo_utils use another encoding for the text files.

Long answer: The $ansi() function does not change the encoding of its argument. It replaces characters that have no ANSI representation with with an ANSI character, but the characters will still be encoded in UTF-8.

Okay, thanks. Will have to look for another solution then.

Is foo_utils compatible with Foobar2000 1.1.16? I've installed 0.6.2 Beta 6. I'd like to set playlists to read-only, but I can't see how to do it. There is no "Playlists" option on my Foobar menu bar, nor is there any such option in the right-click context menu. I've tried using both Playlist Manager and Playlist Organizer, but I can't figure out how to access the Playlist Tools functionality.

Is there a newer version I should be using?

Thanks very much!

you set it on a per-playlist basis from the main Edit menu.
