[seemingly abandonware] Columns UI, alternative user interface Options

[Lyx]

hi,

my 2 cents about this promising alternate GUI:
It seems like it -could- become the GUI for which so many were waiting for. It's still apha, so bugs are okay. However, there's one thing which bothers me most: IMHO the settings and options should be severally streamlined. Combine options which can be combined, and drop the unneeded ones. Currently, the options are in a state and layout which makes it nearly impossible for style-designers, to post alternative designs for users to cut'n paste. Talking about cut'n paste, it would be nice if background-colors can be "disabled"(use the standard-windows-color).

Well, thats all which currently comes to my mind. As i mentioned already, imho the current vast amount of seperate options are overkill and could be streamlined.

great work

ok, here're some basic things which come to my mind about streamlining and a more copy'n paste friendly layout:

- the colour-string should be global, instead of column-specific(individual column-foreground-colors can easiely be set in the column-string itself.
- selected-item-frame and background-color could then too be moved into the above global colour-string, and the coresponding color buttons removed
- rename "titleformatting spec" to "titleformating"
- rename "use custom titleformatting spec for sorting by column" to "use custom sorting string"

rearange the options:
- make the current "more" page, the root UI-page
- rename the current root UI-page to "column-formatting" and make it a sub of the root
- move the global color-string, vis-color-buttons and font-settings into a third options-page called "fonts & colors"

Of course the above is just my personal opinion on what could be improved about the options, and it may be well the case that most others do find my proposals wrong or plain stupid.

- Lyx

edit: even better would imho be, if the "global string" and "global color string" could be merged, so that we could set the global colors right inside the "global string" with a function, or something like that. But i don't know if thats possible.

Musicmusic,

Thanks for the sunken effect option. Looks much better on old-fashioned Windows.

[quote=The Link,Jan 28 2004, 10:03 PM]This is getting really cool! 
Even the default settings look good IMHO (with the right fonts chosen). One thing that I'd like to have is working scrolling with the mouse wheel (no name mouse here ==> no good drivers). Otherwise everything is just great!

Regards,
The Link[/quote]
Do you mean pressing the wheel (autoscroll) or turning it?

[quote=BlueScreenJunky,Jan 28 2004, 10:08 PM]wow, sweeeet ! I love your UI, maybe still a few things to add/fix, but it's already better than the default one IMHO.

anyway, here are my thoughts, questions, suggestions :

• Can you change the color of the font used to display the playlists list ? Well if you can't consider it as a feature request (white font on white background is not really readable ^^)
  
• I think when you click the header of a column it should switch between ascending and descending sorting... Unless you prefer it that way for some reason ?
  
• You should definitely be able to import/export configs (it's already been requested but I think it's an important feature)
  
• I'd love to have a cusomizable tool-tip, that would display a string when you let your cursor over a title.
  
• Could you use the same seekbar as in the default UI ? I find it easier to grab.
  
• What is the space between the status bar and the playlist (about 5 pixels) used for ?  :-P

Well, I think that's all for now. Just keep up the good work ^^[/quote]
1. done, forgot about that
2. ok will do since so many requests for it
3. yes later
4. later
5. ill change it
6. probably some bad calculations when resizing, can you show me a screenshot of everything?

[quote=kerpondile,Jan 28 2004, 10:11 PM]Good job!! This component looks very good!!!

few improvements/suggestions:
when pressing a key in the playlist could take it to artist beginning with that alphabet.

for example you press B and the selection goes to Britney Spears
[/quote]
try foo_playlistfind, search for it

[quote=kalmark,Jan 28 2004, 10:30 PM]Stuff worth mentoning:

1) You can only en/disable "Playback order", "Playback buttons" is linked to the same

2) If you change the column sizes by dragging, this does not change the sizes set in config -> you go into config, and everything gets back to the default (or whatever you set there)

3) Maybe a time_elapsed tooltip for the seekbar would be nice

4) And yes, the default colors should be changed

5) Maybe a different kind of vis... I made a small "stereo" vis, if you're interested, maybe it can be incorporated. I dunno how "vis-in-ui" code works, but I'm sure if I sent you my code it could be easily merged

BTW, anyone care to make some nice formatting strings for this UI?

And, before I forget : THANK YOU, again, for making this cool plugin!  [/quote]

1. fixed

2. it should update when you next open prefs, but if you resize whilst prefs is open, it wont, because it cant keep track (you may add new columns etc.)


3. maybe later

5. do something about that much later

[quote=Speek,Jan 28 2004, 11:14 PM][quote=musicmusic,Jan 28 2004, 10:18 PM] [quote=Speek,Jan 27 2004, 01:42 PM]And another request: could you make the playlist 3D instead of flat look?[/quote] do you mean the frame/border around the playlist, or something else? [/quote]
Yes, that's what I mean.[/quote]

I added an option for it for now, because its only around playlist (not pl list if you use that) and looks bad for some reason.

[quote=juglesh,Jan 29 2004, 12:44 AM]

[quote]Maybe i could add a scrollbar less mode where columns expand/compress to take up all available space[/quote]

that would be a decent solution if you could specify min/max pixels or % for each column. for example, the length column (which i would want right aligned) would have a min/max of 70 pixels. if all columns resized on window resize or column resize, the length column would allways stay the right size, and would allways stay to the right.[/quote]

they would just act as ratios

[quote=meatsoup,Jan 29 2004, 12:51 AM]I absolutely love this UI, but I have a problem with the playlist display after scrolling horizontally. Here's a screenshot.

If I scroll horizontally to the right, then select an item, it will display left-aligned as though I hadn't scrolled. This is with alpha 6, but I'm pretty sure it was happening with earlier builds.[/quote]

Thanks, fixed

[quote=treech,Jan 29 2004, 01:37 AM]Gettingreally good, but there are a few more things i'del ike to comment

the new option, use global string might have something to do with this suggestion, yes?

[quote]Also, ONE color property for all fields would be usefull (as an option)
and perhaps a singe place where i could paste thing like color definitions so i don't have to do that in every single window[/quote]

please explain it further, i tried to add my color definitions there but it did not work as expected

also, the scrollwheel on my mouse ain't working, mx700 (logitech) mouse that works just fine with the default UI

EDIT:
The dropdown thingy on the playback order is still not working.... [/quote]

1. it is combined with column string then sent to be formatted. put a $puts there and then a $get in each column it was wiped when you go back into config in alpha 6.

2. done
3. what happens exactly? nothing drops down? i will look into it, i just need to reproduce it first.

[quote=bisley,Jan 29 2004, 11:32 AM]good job musicmusic, i like so much this ui   but 2 things...

when i change background color, only change the scroll bar color
and Why i dont see them?

keep up the good work ![/quote]

1. i think you need to use colour string
2. you need to use arial unicode ms if you have that font

i cant be bothered to cut up your quote so respectively:

1. then you cant set diff background colours per column, only per row (track). unless i set some extra item, %_column_index% or somthing, i might change it then
2. sel frame could if it was one string yes. background colour button does not relate to columns at all
3. what kind of diffrence would that make? apart from not making any sense.
[quote=kode54,Jan 29 2004, 12:33 AM]There's also a slight bug in the total time display. It seems to show the length of the first track in the selection multiplied by the number of tracks selected.[/quote]
thanks fixed
---
small release:
alpha 7
- fix turnng off toolbar buttons
- handle mouse wheel turning
- fix rendering when scrolling
- fix total time count
- some more options for fonts/ colours

thanks for the fixes, very cool

1. then you cant set diff background colours per column, only per row (track). unless i set some extra item, %_column_index% or somthing, i might change it then

correct... however:
+ one string less >per column< to copy'n paste on sites like ampaa's formatting site
+ if the global string and such a global-color-string could be merged, ALL configuration stuff of a style could be centralized in the global string
- no column-specific background-colors possible

To me it seems, that the benefits are higher, than the disadvantages

2. sel frame could if it was one string yes. background colour button does not relate to columns at all

It may not relate to columns - but would it be possible to set the background-color via the color-string/global string?

3. what kind of diffrence would that make? apart from not making any sense.

What does this to relate to, exactly?

Ok, taking a wild guess that you may not understand what all this should be good for, here's a comparision.

stuff to copy'n paste and setup to insert a full foo_ui_columns style in the the options(in this example, our string has 5 columns):

as it is now:
01. paste global string
02. manually set background color
03. manually set selected-item color
04. paste column1 formatting string
05. paste column1 color-string
06. optionally past column1 sort string
07. paste column2 formatting string
08. paste column2 color-string
09. optionally past column2 sort string
10. paste column3 formatting string
11. paste column3 color-string
12. optionally past column3 sort string
13. paste column4 formatting string
14. paste column4 color-string
15. optionally past column4 sort string
16. paste column5 formatting string
17. paste column5 color-string
18. optionally past column5 sort string


if the color-string would be global, background and item-frame could be set in the color-string, and then, this color-string could be merged with the global string, it would be the following way:
01. paste global string
02. paste column1 formatting string
03. optionally past column1 sort string
04. paste column2 formatting string
05. optionally past column2 sort string
06. paste column3 formatting string
07. optionally past column3 sort string
08. paste column4 formatting string
09. optionally past column4 sort string
10. paste column5 formatting string
11. optionally past column5 sort string

I think saving 7 whole steps in the addition to having all central-config in the "general string" are worth sacrificing column-specific backgroundcolors.

---------------------------------------------------------

taking my above example, and asumung that the style we want to insert does not have custom sort strings, the advantage become even more obvious.

as it is now:
01. paste global string
02. manually set background color
03. manually set selected-item color
04. paste column1 formatting string
05. paste column1 color-string
06. paste column2 formatting string
07. paste column2 color-string
08. paste column3 formatting string
09. paste column3 color-string
10. paste column4 formatting string
11. paste column4 color-string
12. paste column5 formatting string
13. paste column5 color-string


with my idea:
01. paste global string
02. paste column1 formatting string
03. paste column2 formatting string
04. paste column3 formatting string
05. paste column4 formatting string
06. paste column5 formatting string

---------------------------------------------------------

ok, a final example. Lets asume that our style has different alternate color themes and we want to change between these themes.

as it is now:
01. paste color-config-part of the global string
02. manually set background color
03. manually set selected-item color
04. paste column1 color-string
05. paste column2 color-string
06. paste column3 color-string
07. paste column4 color-string
08. paste column5 color-string

with my idea:
01. paste color-config-part of the global string

I meant the feature to be implemented just like in windows explorer, no extra windows... Is possible?

[musicmusic]

musicmusic:
thanks for the fixes, very cool

ah yes, it's a dropdown issue on the playback thingy, nothing really drops down, i've taken a small scrennshot of it...

screenshot

EDIT: cropping ?
wtf is that?

Ok that's what was happening before here, I know how to make it happen so hopefully i can fix it, thanks.

cropping: i probably meant to type clipped, basically when it gets cut off

[musicmusic]

1. then you cant set diff background colours per column, only per row (track). unless i set some extra item, %_column_index% or somthing, i might change it then

To me it seems, that the benefits are higher, than the disadvantages

You cant put column background colours into global string, it wouldnt work because global string is just combined with column string and then formatted and then sent for display on playlist. Global string is just something to put tag guessing code/colour setting code into so you dont have to put it in each string. (i.e. make it easier to edit)

2. sel frame could if it was one string yes. background colour button does not relate to columns at all

It may not relate to columns - but would it be possible to set the background-color via the color-string/global string?

What is the point exactly? So you have to type hex codes instead of using colour picker? I would agree, however, it would be better in some cases to be able copy and paste that easily but not in most cases.

3. what kind of diffrence would that make? apart from not making any sense.

What does this to relate to, exactly?

Surprisingly, it relates to the third bullet point you wrote. The word "Titleformatting" in that place in prefs by itself would not make any sense. I only wrote "spec" because i was trying to avoid the use of the word "string".

Ok, taking a wild guess that you may not understand what all this should be good for, here's a comparision.

I understand perfectly what you are saying.

stuff to copy'n paste and setup to insert a full foo_ui_columns style in the the options(in this example, our string has 5 columns):

01. paste global string
02. manually set background color

07. paste column2 formatting string
08. paste column2 color-string
09. optionally past column2 sort string
10. paste column3 formatting string
11. paste column3 color-string
12. optionally past column3 sort string
13. paste column4 formatting string
14. paste column4 color-string
15. optionally past column4 sort string
16. paste column5 formatting string
17. paste column5 color-string
18. optionally past column5 sort string

07. optionally past column3 sort string
08. paste column4 formatting string
09. optionally past column4 sort string
10. paste column5 formatting string
11. optionally past column5 sort string

I think saving 7 whole steps in the addition to having all central-config in the "general string" are worth sacrificing column-specific backgroundcolors.

Yes that's why I will add import/export tools later, which i have said already. Im not going to reduce functionality/hinder users making their own display config for no real reason. Not to mention I already said you wouldn't have to sacrifice the column specific colours, which btw I am definitely not getting rid of. Also your method of arguement is flawed. You cannot just say two points for and one against therefore overall its a good idea, without considering how important each point is and its implications. Not to mention some of your points are theoretical and invalid since its impossible to set column background colour in global string, or would at least work strangely. This is what I would say:

+ one less string per column if copying and pasting (- however, there will be import/export tools later)
- have to use silly $select to select background colours if per column, meaning lots of vertical scrolling in small box. (i.e. more hassle to set diff colours per column)
+ easier to set same colour for all columns

related: global string isnt currently combined with colour string, because it would cause wierd results if global string outputs something, but that will change too (extra option) and will alleviate the third point i just wrote.

Do you mean pressing the wheel (autoscroll) or turning it?

I meant turning which is exactly what is working with your latest version.

[kode54]

Reducing the color formatting of all columns to one script would also be a spoony idea, as it would be moving the which-column conditional checks from native code to the script, which of course will execute slower. </run-on>

Thanks for this great UI... ^^

One minor request:
Is it possible to add the option of custom icon (for system trey)?
Like in the standard UI, where we could use any icon we like for system trey.

Just one minor point.
Thanks again.

[BlueScreenJunky]

6. probably some bad calculations when resizing, can you show me a screenshot of everything?

nah, it's OK, the problem was that it looked weird without the "sunken effect", it's all right now.
Great release btw, everything works just fine ^^

[Fickle]

I cant seem to remove the playback buttons when using this UI - using foobar 7.7b + the lastest ui_columns dll -

great work btw !

Version info:
foobar2000 v0.8 beta 1
UNICODE

try entering -11 or something low in the item height thingy to cause a crash
EDIT: i guess it depends on what fontsize u have, i'm currently using Lucida Console 8 and it dies if i type -11.

Disturbing, just found all of my columns getting set to default if i move the dll out, start foobar, close it and then put it back and start it

anyway, it also seems to remove a few of the new 0.8 menu stuff, suck as sorting and so on, guess it's time for a 0.8 uppdate as well

also, it has happened that it simpli ignores // ascomments in the filds and insted pastet it on the playlist, i think u can reproduce it by doing thid in the lenght field:
//[%_TIME_ELAPSED%/]%_LENGTH%

it looks like crap here at least

Yup... That's how the configuration system works. Data is lost when there is no matching cfg_var or config_var to receive it and eventually save it. Remove the component, and all of its settings will be lost the next time the configuration is saved to disk.

Incorrect. The problem is that your "global" script does not end with a blank line. The contents of the "global" script are inserted immediately before each of your column scripts before execution, and comments cannot be started in the middle of a line.

I feel like a dolt, but I can't get this to do ANYTHING. Is there a tutorial anywhere? I have installed the dll and played with the preferences to no avail.

EDIT: I AM a dolt! I just found the drop-down menu for "User interface module." DOH!

- fix turnng off toolbar buttons

Actually, no. The checkboxes behave, but "Playback buttons" still toggles "Playback order."

Also, "Rename this playlist..." always renames the current playlist, regardless of which tab I right-clicked.

I cant seem to remove the playback buttons when using this UI - using foobar 7.7b + the lastest ui_columns dll -

great work btw !

My bad, definitely fixed this time.

Also, "Rename this playlist..." always renames the current playlist, regardless of which tab I right-clicked.

Thanks, fixed.

Thanks fixed.

About problems with playback order drop down - i couldnt get it to happen again here so I dont know what's up with it. Does anyone else know what's wrong with it/how to fix it?

alpha 8

changelog:
- changed selection behaviour
- improved seekbar, can grip from anywhere, added tooltip
- added tooltips support (on very old operating systems e.g. original win95 they wont be vertically centre aligned)
- clicking on columns remmbers asc/desc sort, and puts arrows on column (on below xp they are just some triangles i drew, on xp & above they come from visual theme or somewhere)
- added horizontal scrollbarless mode, use widths in prefs as ratios. (resizing columns from ui wont work in this mode.)
- fixed crash when item height becomes zero
- fixed removing plaback buttons
- fixed renaming playlist in tabs
- fixed blurred tray icon, tray icon resource leak (thanks kode54)
- fixed vertical scrollbar redrawing bug in prveious version

There's still some redraw problem when moving rebar items to a new bar/line I haven't fixed yet.

also, what is the "also use for colors string" checkbox for ?

I guess it prepends the global script to the colors script when processing each column...

Shortcutkeys doesn't appear to work when you have selected a playlist in the playlist list.
