foo_uie_playlists_dropdown, Playlists Dropdown - Columns UI Extension Options

[mixcherry]

@DocBeard, could you paste here your Display and Style formatting strings?

@Dan Popescu, if you can access my component's preferences page after placing it in your layout, please paste here your formatting strings also. Otherwise, please upload your foobar2000.cfg file.

[Dan Popescu]

yes, it's working after placing it in the layout
what formatting strings - the one for the playlist dropdown?

[mixcherry]

what formatting strings - the one for the playlist dropdown?

Yes, formatting strings for playlists dropdown (Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI extensions -> Playlists Dropdown -> Display -> Display / Style (both of them)).

[DocBeard]

They should just be the default ones (or they were when I was getting crashes), but I'll doublecheck when I get home tonight.

[mixcherry]

@Dan Popescu, @DocBeard:
The bug should be fixed now, just re-download the plugin from the usual location:

Thanks for the 0.6.9.9 update and the new features: the drag&drop and autoplaylist query editing

[novembre]

thanks, nice component.
Wanted to report this, it doesn't seems to be mentioned before: if the playlist has one ore more streaming files (like last.fm playlists), %filesize% becomes -1 and %filesize_natural% becomes 16777215TB, removing these files makes the size return correct. ColumnsUI playlist switcher doesn't show this behaviour

[Dan Popescu]

Yes, it's working now, with and without it used on layout.
Thank you.

[mixcherry]

0.7 beta 1 released with several bug-fixes (wrong filesize), new icons (png support) and other small improvements.

Thanks for the new versions mixcherry. Looking and working well.

[novembre]

Thanks for the update, works fine!

[aphasia]

I think I just encountered a bug. Using the keyboard to navigate to the Playlist Dropdown and then choosing a playlist with the arrow keys, pressing return doesn't change to the new playlist. Instead the previously selected playlist is still displayed.

ETA: To be more specific the problem is that the return key doesn't seem to select playlists.

Hi, thank for the plugin, but

foo_uie_playlists_dropdown has crashed foobar if I have in foobar2000/components/foo_uie_explorer.dll

(...) the return key doesn't seem to select playlists.

Thanks for the report.

foo_uie_playlists_dropdown has crashed foobar if I have in foobar2000/components/foo_uie_explorer.dll

I need more information - crashlog would be helpful (look for failure_0000000x.txt in your foobar2000 folder). When exactly did the crash occur? Keyboard/Mouse action, open/close foobar, change layout etc.? I'm testing it on 0.9.6 core + Columns UI 0.3.6 + Playlists Dropdown 0.7 beta 1 + Explorer Tree 1.04.7b and it works just fine right here.

for the purity of the experiment, I installed foobar2000 0.9.6 minimal portable version
in folder components I have only foo_input_std.dll, foo_ui_std.dll, foo_uie_explorer.dll (1.04.7b), foo_uie_playlists_dropdown.dll (0.7 beta 1)

Crashes for me too, Vista SP1 here.

It worked fine before, didn't change anything, that I know of.

I'll disable it for now.

You mean it crashes on opening Preferences page only when Explorer Tree is installed? No crashlog in foobar folder?

[Andreasvb]

I don't use Explorer Tree.

No crashlog.

And it took a while to find what caused it.

As I have the dropdown on the toolbar the foobar2000 window didn't even start, only the notification icon which then disappeared after 2 seconds.

Don't know why it started to act like this.

[mixcherry]

Please post your system configuration, list of all loaded plugins and upload your foobar2000.cfg file.

[Andreasvb]

I tried making the smallest cfg possible.

foobar2000 core - 0.9.6.1 beta 1
foo_uie_playlists_dropdown.dll - 0.7 beta 1
foo_input_std.dll - 1.0
foo_ui_columns.dll - 0.3.6.3

As soon as I add it in the toolbar or when selecting the preference for it, it crashes.

CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11] [DEP enabled]
Operating System: Windows Vista ™ Ultimate [version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1]
Installed RAM: 2048 MBytes

I think it's not a issue in foo_uie_explorer, though I'm the creator of foo_uie_explorer, I'm also a foo_uie_playlists_dropdown fan.
However, it seems there are some compatible/stable issues in foo_uie_playlists_dropdown, because I experienced the crashes that caused by foo_uie_playlists_dropdown many times.
It's quite tricky, and it seems a Vista(or 7) only issue, especially when a component is added or removed from foobar2000 installation.

I tested it with some settings today.

CODE

1. Install foobar2000 0.9.6.3. (so it is clean)
2. Install foo_ui_columns (0.3.6.7) and foo_uie_playlists_dropdown (0.7 beta1). (they are the only two 3rd-party components installed).
3. Open foobar2000.
4. Initiate foo_uie_playlists_dropdown.
5. foobar2000 crashes.

My system is Vista x64 SP1...

I have another copy that running years and has bunches of components which runs just fine, foo_uie_explorer is ok, foo_uie_playlists_dropdown is ok, too.
But if I remove ANY component other than foo_uie_playlists_dropdown from the folder, foobar2000 crashes...
Then I switch to XP (SP3) in the VM and run the same copy of foobar2000 => it's ok again.
Switch back to Vista => things are going fine.

I have no idea about this, I don't think it is caused by foo_uie_explorer, because it can crash w/o foo_uie_explorer.

nice complement but I´d like scrolling the dropdownmenu with my mouse and a bigger size of the window(vertical).
great job.

Thank you for all your time and effort put in testing my component! Is it possible that the crashes you mension occur only in 64bit versions of Windows?

Thanks. You can toggle mouse wheel scrolling in preferences (Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI extensions -> Playlists Dropdown -> General -> Use mouse wheel). If you want the window to be higher, just use bigger font or increase padding (look in Display settings of the component).
