foo_playlist_tree, still very experimental (beta stage) Options

[NEMO7538]

I support the idea of making it a panel.

In adition usability coul be greatly improved by having the result of a selection (the tracks at the last level) going into the right side of the screen and formatted using columns. What you would need to do is just punch the output to a given playlist whose name would be a parameter (see the album list panel or db explorer panel as an example of this behaviour).

Is it feasible ?

i've just recollected that some time ago i wrote about a feture i would like to see implemented in album list. it would be a quick find box sitting at the bottom or at the top of the component window and refining the display "as you type", showing only the results relevant to the string you put in. wouldn't that be a lovely feature?

chris, i hope the ideas we post inspire rather that overwhelm you

Actually that is an idea that I have contemplated before... If any one is familiar with the way firefox search works, I'm thinking that would be a good way to do it... when you hit Ctl-F it brings up the search box and finds the first item that matches as you type stuff...

i just took a look at firefox (opera is my browser of choice ) search and it seems ok to me. as i think of it, highliting instead of limiting the display is not a bad solution at all. and pressing enter to move to the next matching result is also comfortable. put highliting all by pressing highlight button on top of it all and it's perfect.

Updated current version to support the latest ui_columns api.

The older api version is still available as foo_playlist_tree_old_api.zip

New updates will continue from the latest ui_columns api code.

on the To Do list:

improved dynamic playlist control (speed issues)
file search

As usual files are availabe at http://foobar.bowron.us

Since you updated to the latest ui_columns api I tried your pugin again and I must say that I begin to like it. Especially the dynamic folders look promising and are useful for me.

Besides some instabilities I get from time to time (see the already existing crash logs in this thread) one really big drawback for me is the lack of unicode support. This really reduces the usability for me. Perhaps you'll find some useful threads about how to use utf8api.dll in the development forum. That would be great.

Thank you for this plugin!

shouldnt i be able to just copy and paste any view setting from the album list to the playlsit tree dynamic folder?

[spase]

also how do i get it to sort the dynamic folders properly?

it seems pretty random right now:



EDIT: it seems the sorting of the tracks under the individual parts of the dynamic fodlers is quite random as well. i suppose a "dynamic sort string" in the settings, or the ability to set a different sort style for each dynamic folder (or both) would be a good idea.

EDIT2: I found the right click > sort option. i think a per-subfolder sort string might still be a good idea though (or sort by display)

another thing i found, if you hide the window, then activate it again, it doesnt have any icons (as in the picture i posted above).

Version info:
foobar2000 v0.8.3
UNICODE

[cwbowron]

I've updated the dynamic playlists to increase the speed dramatically. My test query dropped from 3000 milliseconds to 300 ms.

I've changed the display mode for the last element in query format string so files should display correctly now (prior to this, it used the default format string for files even if you specified something else)

I've also added a right-click menu option to sort a folder recursively.

I tried to reproduce Spase's error, but when I dropped the root node into the columns_ui playlist it worked fine. Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm thinking that its not necessarily that its the root node, but rather some folder somewhere in the tree is causing the problem.

I've noted the issue of dissappearing bitmaps.

[The Link]

The recursive sorting works great but it would be nice if the sorted order would be saved after closing foobar.
There also seems to be a problem with the reported folder size when the album is an image file with embedded cuesheet (image size * number of tracks in the cuesheet seems to be reported).

Now it finally works to add my albums I have some more reqs.

1. searching in the tree.

2. using it as a panel this was possible before but doesn't seam to work now

You need to update ui_columns to the latest version.

i just realized i AM using the older columns UI version (waiting for the new album art panel to update)

so that migh tbe an issue.

i will check it out when i get the new columsn ui

[jkwarras]

Just some suggestions:

- Custom background colours, selection, blabla options (like album list panel).

Have your some plans in implementing this?

[stroke]

i'm using the following display formatting string:

%date%_%album%|$num(%tracknumber%,2)_%title%

when i sort the list, the tracks get sorted alphabetically, by title. i'd rather have them sorted by tracknumber. on the other hand, on the album level the playlist is sorted by date. i guess the problem would be related to $num(....), nut that's just a guess

[jkwarras]

After playing with this great extension here goes some suggestions to developper:

- Move right context-menu specific for the penale to s subcategory, and make available the normal fb2k right-click context-menu. For ex. there's no way to select a folder and get 'properties'context menu, so you have to add it to a playlist reselect all files and then get 'properties'.

- Remove progress bar embedded and make it a floating window (use less space when no needed).

- It seems that there's some kind of lenght limit for display: i.e. this is my display album panel query for 'by artist':

CODE

[$if(%album artist%,%album artist%,%artist%)]|'('[%date%]')' [%album%]|$if(%album artist%,[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ] ]%artist% - $if2(%title%,%_filename%),[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ] ]$if2(%title%,%_filename%)) - $if($strstr($lower(%favorite%),fly),'[')
$repeat(●,%rating%)$repeat(□,$sub(5,%rating%))
$if($strstr($lower(%favorite%),fly),']')

in your panel it gets cuted like this:

CODE

[$if(%album artist%,%album artist%,%artist%)]|'('[%date%]')' [%album%]|$if(%album artist%,[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ] ]%artist% - $if2(%title%,%_filename%),[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ] ]$if2(%title%,%_filename%)) - $if($strstr($lower(%favorit

- Make option to set sort (and sort recursively) as default.
- Custom colour background/ etc... like album list panel to fit colour configuration.

Hope this help future developpement

BTW I'm getting random crashes while closing foobar (due to this plugin), so the playlist tree is not saved and I have to rebuild everything again.

Oh, and I don't know why but I can't get my tracks with the posted formatting string to be sorted by tracknumber while it works for albun panel list

Keep up the good work, it's much appretiated.

I've upped the text size limit on queries from 256 to 1024... I'm a little lazy right now to do it the way it should be and dynamically allocate the space... (plus that is slower)... let me know if this still isnt enough...

Queries are now sorted automatically

Custom background, text and line color are now supported.

Basic search is now implemented.

I've added somewhat better unicode support. (previous versions would not recognize nested files that had unicode names.... now they are added, but if you edit the text of the name it gets munged.)

The treeview now takes up the entire panel, and the progress bar hides itself after 3 seconds of inactivity.

Files which has unicode directory name are not recognized.

First: thanks! you're really devoted

For some reason I still get the same limit (in display, where I think it's really needed).

Queries are now sorted automatically

Everything works fine now, thanks.

Custom background, text and line color are now supported.

Cool
The only downside of this is that there's an ugly icons white background Maybe disabling the use of icons will be the easiest way to solve this

Basic search is now implemented.

I don't find it

and the progress bar hides itself after 3 seconds of inactivity.

Thanks. For some reason the progress bar while working, is flashing, I mean it doesn't go slowly from left to right. Instead it goes really quickly from left to right over and over until the progress stop.

I don't mean to be a PITA but I hope that you'll want to take a look at this whenever you got time and motivation :

- Move right context-menu specific for the penale to s subcategory, and make available the normal fb2k right-click context-menu. For ex. there's no way to select a folder and get 'properties'context menu, so you have to add it to a playlist reselect all files and then get 'properties'.

And BTW, maybe you'll think about implementing the use of

CODE

field

because right now we can just use

CODE

%field%

wich doesn't allow multiple instances of the same item in different trees (that's supported in the album panel), i.e. I have a file tagged with %artist%=A and %artist%=B and I want to display it in 'A' and 'B'. Currently with %artist% i'll go in a tree named 'A,B'.

Thanks for this excellent plugin. I love how it's customizable. You can almost make it display what you wish and how you wish!

Do you really think using a dynamically allocated buffer to get the contents of an edit box will have a noticable impact on your component's performance?

The preferred way for a foobar2000 component to access a window's text is using the string_utf8_ftom_window class from utf8api. There are a lot more Win32 wrappers in utf8api that allow you to make Win32 API calls with UTF-8 strings. The pfc library contains some more helpers for working with UTF-8 strings, including the string_X_from_Y conversion classes. Internally, all strings in foobar2000 are encoded in UTF-8. Usage examples for most classes and functions can be found in the components included in the SDK.

My icons come up correctly on my version and that's something that took me a long time to figure out... I'm not sure why it wouldnt work for you... does it work for anybody else?

The search is available from the right click menu as "Find..." and also as C-F if the focus is on the tree....

I'm working on having the search come up as a cool popup window inside the tree panel... it looks much cooler that way

I'll take a look at the edit length thing... must be more complicated than i had thought...

As to foosions last post about dynamically allocated stuff effecting the time in an edit box, no, obviously it doesnt make a difference there... I had thought the problem was in my actual search function, where dynamically allocating a string 10,000 times would affect performance... thanks for the heads up on the utf8_from_window class I'll look into that...

Version info:
foobar2000 v0.8.3
UNICODE

[cwbowron]

I've added somewhat better unicode support.  (previous versions would not recognize nested files that had unicode names.... now they are added, but if you edit the text of the name it gets munged.)

Files which has unicode directory name are not recognized.

Still not perfect, but now it gets the folders... The names dont display correctly yet, but at least they show up now...

I also improved the progress bar showing/hiding so resizing isnt so choppy now...

and I made the search a popup window inside the panel... i think it looks pretty slick...
