foo_playlist_tree, still very experimental (beta stage) Options

[cwbowron]

foo_playlist_tree is a very customizable media library, with support for hierarchical playlists as well as dynamic playlists. Dynamic playlists can be generated using the same syntax as foo_playlistgen_ex. It can operate in its own window or as a column_ui panel.

Latest version uploaded this morning supports customizable display name for folders. From the readme file:

You can customize the way folders are displayed. Use %name% for name, %size% for total file size, and %length% for play length. This is a simple textual replacement....

I would be happy to improve the unicode support for the playlist if some other developers could give me some pointers on unicode support in foobar2000.

I would like to upload the program to the 3rd party plugin site mentioned. I tried to signup today to create an account but as of yet have not received the confirmation email.

I've begun prelimary work on dynamic playlists. I'm planning on implementing them in the following way:

You create a dynamic playlist by giving condition, i.e. "$strcmp(%artist%,Johnny Cash)" and selecting which display mode this playlist will use, i.e. "%album%|%title"

This way you can have it be an entire view of your files in a particular format by using 1 as the condition.

To Genesis:
Is the problem when you are loading a collection or dropping files or what? If it's loading a previously made collection perhaps it has been corrupted.

Maybe you can ask in the developpement forum...

hmmm... let's see if I understand. If for ex. I want to do a simple %artist%|%album%|%title% as a subtree would it be possible in your approach? Will something like $if2(%album artist%,%artist%) or $if(%artist%) [these are really widely used scripts in foobar] work as a 1º condition?

BTW: Will your pnale have an option to link to the database? This way if you restrict your database to a directory and scan it, you define some folders with conditions then you don't have to drag your library into the panel. Maybe you're already thought about that and I'm talking bullshit...

I fixed the broken zip file at the site... must have messed up when uploading it this morning...

Yes, you can have a subtree that is %artist%|%album|%title% with my approach... think of it this way, the first layer is a filter so if you want everything in it you just have the filter something static that is always true, or in this case you could just have it if(%artist) or whatever so only items that actually have the artist tag get picked up...

I'm linking the to database... it scans all the files in the database looking for matches...
