(win98se) am now getting the interface, when it loads it gives the errors below, and when ever i resize the window it gives errors.

What did you expect from downloading the debug version

when i resize the columns, the pl goes back to the top and the scroll handle sticks where it was until it click it, then it goes to the top.  same if i sort the columns.

Seems OK for me, can you explain more? When you sort, the playlist core will scroll to the item with focus. I fixed one bug with scrollbar which would occur when sorting, please tell me if its ok with current version. i also dont know what's up with your menu, i can probably fix it anyway.

will it be possible to sort by artist, then album?

Whilst unintendedly, you already can (click album column, then artist columns). Not to mention you can set custom strings for sorting already.

umm...where's the play buttons?

I think you're confused, those are in the standard ui. If you meant are you going to add buttons, yes, someday.

Love this UI but couple of problems I've found:
1) This:

& sometimes this:

is fixed by resizing window but then I get:


2) Playback Order toolbar does not work. Order can only be changed via Menu Toolbar - Playback/Order

Please keep up your great work 

Thanks, both should be fixed in alpha 4.

Great Start!  This is going to be really nice when it's finished.  Actually, its really cool already.

Thanks

Thanks for udating.Sometimes foobar2000 crash with this UI.But I love this.

I need more info because i dont get crashes. Can you post:
- what you where doing when it crashed
- how to reproduce (if known)
- crashlog
- operating system

Thanks.

Anyway, alpha 4 with all the above mentioned fixes.

changelog:
alpha 4
- fixed playback order drop down
- fixed scrollbar not redrawn on "ensure visible"
- fixed incorrect positioning of controls
- fixed systray menu not destroyed when click out of it
- added alternative playlist switcher using tabs

I think the tabs playlist switcher it looks a lot better/cleaner than the listbox, the rebar just needs a bit of sorting out.
