The problem is you then have a playlist that updates every minute, and it would make caching playlist info not very useful.[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=304077"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Ah. Thought there was a good reason to its omission.

Nope, indeed that option is meant to do something else but is actually broken. I will probably axe it instead and maybe replace it with an option to draw a standard frame.

On that note, I made a new plugin for find-as-you-type style (search from beginning string only) functionality as a bit of an experiment. Its available [a href="http://music.morbo.org/download/unstable/foo_uie_typefind-0.1-beta1.7z]here[/url].

The idea is you assign the "activate typefind" to a keyboard shortcut (e.g. '/'). First though, you need to insert it into a panel host somewhere (toolbars does not work so great, in layout host in a vertical splitter is your best bet) Then you can type your search string, and use up/down keys to navigate results, enter to play and escape to close it. You can configure the search string from the menu in the caption or the layout prefs page.

Also, it needs Columns UI 0.1.3 pa12v3 to work properly.

[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=304450"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

this one's different in that it selects all the songs that match the query, rather than just one match at a time.  i like it.    i do wish that the search was more flexible, searching in multiple strings like foo_playlistfind does currently.

this is similar to something people have been requesting for a long time, something similar to the way itunes behaves.  in itunes when you're browsing your library, you can type text in the toolbar and it will narrow down the playlist to any matches; not just highlight matches, but eliminate all tracks that don't match.

this might be something to consider.  i'm not sure exactly how this could work unless it was married to albumlist panel, both components sharing an autosend playlist -- e.g., i call mine "Browse," so when selecting items from albumlist, they're sent to my always-existent "Browse" playlist, and typing search strings into the textfind box would narrow the contents of this playlist.  i don't see any way to restore the contents of a searched-on playlist (e.g., when some search text is deleted or changed) other than by using what is selected in albumlist as a reference.

am i making sense?

I insert it in a vertical host with album list and playlists.
If the typefind caption is visible it works as it is expected.
But if you hide caption, open the typefind with keybord shortcut, type something and then click in above albumlist all panels in host disappear

Very nice, however could you possibly make the search string filter the playlist so that only the found songs are visible (instead of just selecting them)? Also, being able to use more complex search strings would be nice (like Extended Search).

Any chance of seeing this plugin ported backwards to the .8 sdk?

Hi musicmusic, cheers for the typefind plugin, I've been missing this functionality with the foobar beta.
Just a couple of things:
When it's in the sidebar it disappears when not active - is this intentional, because it means it has to be in the toolbar to right-click and configure..?
Also, how do the search strings work? For example, how would I get it to find all songs that have a certain string anyware within %artist% or %title%?

Anyhoo, keep up the great work!

musicmusic, first of all THANK YOU. I decided to test and configure (which will take ages) foobar0.9.

COLUMNS UI did very very well cause the fcs file import went properly. Great!

QUESTION: Where is the flat tab view? In older versions you call the option "enable header mouse interaction". I prefer, from the visual point of view, the flat tabs. Please give them us back

not necessarily 
The media library search would be very cool (and should IMHO certainly be included!)
As for the playlist restoration, the type as you find could just filter the results without really altering the playlist (unless specifically saved in this state?). When clearing the find-box, playlist restores..

you suggest "not really altering the playlist"...do you mean not deleting items that don't match?  if so, that's what it does already.  otherwise, i don't think it's an easy thing (if at all possible) to change the contents of a playlist without affecting the playlist file in your foobar directory.

1. I'll see what I can do.
2. Sorry, its only going to be search from begining of string, and has been designed as such.

1. Yes it is meant to hide itself.
2. You can't; its begining of strings only.

Bugs I am aware of:
-The search string is not actually saved if you change it
-Esc makes a ping sound

It also doesn't support %_playlist_number% but I may add that.

Its still there, I renamed it to something like 'Enable sorting by columns titles' since its more correct.

I don't think so; it would also be a select feature in that it won't apply to people who use visual styles on XP.

I have to thank you because your config file made me understand how was working the "layout" page in the Columns UI config.Before that i had no clue about it , i thought it was a not completly implented feature that would become useful only when Columns UI Extensions would be available ( sorry musicmusic  ). I was right clicking in the empty part of the list instead of right clicking on the first entry.



This layout config is a great addition, very handy to display thing the way we want.
Is there a way to set a minimum/maximum height for toolbars/panels ?

The panels can be resized with the mouse.
And for toolbars there is a workaround..
You can make some of them locked, for example playback buttons menu and playback order, and the rest will be dinamics 

Hope it help you
