How do I display if the track is cbr or vbr.  I am not interested in updating the display to display the actual bitrate in real time, I just want it to display cbr or vbr in the foo_uie_trackinfo plugin panel.

Thanks for any help.

- Lowering CPU usage when using tags containing a lot of text like %comment%?

- Update very second for tags like %rating%?

I asked before but is there a possibility to enable tab [$char(9)] support in trackinfo panel?

$iflonger(%album%,33,$cut(%album%,29)...,%album%)

Since I don't change the width of my sidebar, for me works something like this:

Code: [Select]

$iflonger(%album%,33,$cut(%album%,29)...,%album%)

This truncates all album names longer than 33 characters to 29 characters and appends "..." to them. Album names shorter don't get touched.
You'll have to play around with comparison value and truncation value, if your font is variable width.

Ideally the panel should include vertical scoll bars as the comments field includes reviews in my flac files. I do not know if it is possible to have vertical scoll bars in the track info panel though. I guess the text should wrap.

Well, thank you very much indeed guys (very especially upNorth)
I've tried all the strings you've posted and it's certainly given me some food for thought.... and..... unfotunately I've started to look at the make up of the strings as I've realised what possibilities there are. This is not good news (ooh.. is that a baby crying?).

But... just one quick thing....
How to I get two entries on one line, between a static word of my own choosing.... and be able to control the clour of the word.. i.e:

This is what I'd like (now!):

No headings involved (e.g Title, Album etc),

Track Name by Artist
[Track Number] - Album [Date]
Comment

I'd like to include the "by", " - " and square brackets as fixed colour-configurable text.

Is this possible (I'm beginning to think it's not)?

I'd also like to add Lance Uppercut's track length, minutes past and minutes to go text above the comment field... if i can work out how to reformat it and get rid of the extraneous square bracket. Thanks mate.

Right, better see what up with the baby. Probably see you in another two days.... :-(

Hi,
just dragged myself back from poo land...

thanks again for this. upNorth... I wondered what those little squares were for, that explains a lot now. Is there a guide to writing these strings somewhere (not that I should really look at it....)?

Anyway, I think with what you've told me and what I had learnt already I could probably write my own (simple) string now. However, I think I'm pretty sorted with my Foobar now....

If anyone wants a loook you can see it here. I've called it Foobar Neat.

So.. I've finished... thanks for all the help.

But... there is just one little thing... I'd really like to have three tabs at the top of the left hand pane (i.e below the transport buttons in my Foobar Neat), titled Album View, Track Info and Playlists.
I know it is possible to put the tabs there as i have seen version like this... but cannot remember where. I guess you can make a panel containing three tabs which then link to other panels??
Can anyone tell me which forum I should be asking questions about this in... as I have no idea (apart from it is obviously not this one!).

If i can dedicate a whole left hand pane to Track Info then i can use one of your great scripts above.

I should not being doing this.....
:-(

Back to poo land...
