I put up a new version today.

Biggest improvement is that I added two scheme functions that let you ask for input when the query gets refreshed. This allows you to create a generic query that will prompt you for input. See the bottom of the post for an example.

ChangeLog:
Quote
* don't ask about the user map.
* new scheme functions that allow interaction:
o (prompt-user-string "foo") - prompts the user for input. Returns a string. "" for cancel.
o (prompt-user-list "foo" ("option 1" "option 2" ... "option n")) - prompts the user to select from given options - returns zero-based index of selection. -1 for cancel.

Example of prompting query:
Code: [Select]
(let ((tags (list "artist" "album" "title")))
(let ((n (prompt-user-list "Tag:" tags)))
(when (>= n 0)
(let ((criteria (prompt-user-string "Criteria:")))
(display criteria)
(when (> (string-length criteria) 0)
(for-each-db-entry
(lambda (handle) 
(add-node 
handle
(list (format-title handle "%artist%")
(format-title handle "%album%")
(format-title handle "%title%"))))
(string-append (list-ref tags n) " " criteria)))))))

What ui component are you using?  Was there an error message displayed on the console?

Help. I can't stand this anymore, I want to change double click in the playlist tree to expand/collapse, but there is no such option in the configuration window. Yet I've seen people talk about it. What am I doing wrong?

I have the latest version from http://wiki.bowron.us/index.php/Playlist_Tree

I can't do this either. It's not a feature I've been missing, but now as you say it, there's nothing wrong implementing it (after all, it's the way all other UIs work).

I am trying to make a dynamic playlist of all the file of one file type.  I have tried using the following things in the criteria box but each time the playlist is just returning every item in my database.

$ext(%_path%) IS mp3
$ext(_path) IS mp3
$ext(path) IS mp3

I am a little confused as to why the criteria box doesnt use %% for the syntax when referring to tags.  I got $ext(%_path%) IS mp3 from the example queries wiki page.

Thank you for your guidance.

I have a quite large library (almost 20000 entrys) and with Playlist Tree plugin loaded, everytime I do anything in a playlist (start play/add or remove files etc) it hangs 1-2 sec. This is VERY annoying, since it doesn't matter how small a playlist I edit.

Is it because I enabled refresh in one of my querys? I doubt it's nessesary to refresh the library ALL THE TIME ?!?!?
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

Yep. Do as I do - map the refresh function to F5, so that you can press F5 whenever you want to update the playlist tree.

$if(%album artist%,$puts(ar,%<album artist>%),$puts(ar,%<artist>%))
$get(ar)|%album%|%title%

i read that <%tag%> is not working...  but this "lambda" request language is very hard-to-find for me...

please, can someone explain to me, how i can realize this function with that difficult query language?

$put(ar,%<album artist>%) makes a variable called ar, sets it to %<album artist>% and returns that value. $puts(ar,%<album artist>%) (think "put silent") does the same, but does not return the value (i.e. it only makes the variable). You can call that variable later using $get.

In other words: Using $put(ar,%<album artist>%) is the same as using just %<album artist>%, except it works.

You can also use the $puts command first thing in the script for every tag you want to do it with, and call them later using $get, but it's easier just using $put and putting it where you'd else want it (you can still call them later anyway).

By the way, the $if check at the beginning is pointless - using %album artist% returns the album artist tag if present, otherwise returns the artist tag (and then goes on to a few more if artist isn't found either).


So, to sum it up - the script you're looking for is probably this:

Code: [Select]
$put(ar,%<album artist>%)|%album%|%title%


Easy as pie.

thank u for help, but i know this.

in previous post my script was:

$if(%album artist%,$puts(ar,%<album artist>%),$puts(ar,%<artist>%))
$get(ar)|%album%|%title%

but ive tryed and these schemes:

1. %<album artist>%|%album%|%title%
2. $if($meta(%album artist%),%<album artist>%,%<artist>%)|%album%|%title%
3. $if($meta(%album artist%),puts(ar,%<album artist>%), puts(ar, %<artist>%) $get(ar)|%album%|%title%
shure it works, but not all releases are in list!

i readed somewhere that in playlist tree  %<tag>% is not working, but this mechanism can be realized by special query language...

but this is very hard-to understand... so if anyone can halp me with this, please help.

Set the source to @scheme and the format to:

Code: [Select]
(for-each-db-entry
 (lambda (handle) 
   (for-each 
    (lambda (album-artist)     
      (add-node 
       handle
       (list album-artist
	     (format-title handle "%album%")
	     (format-title handle "%title%"))))
    (meta-list handle "album artist"))))

wohoho! it works! thanks! when i click on the whole query folder... playlist get file list with many duplicates... i know this is because 1 track can be in many nodes... well this is not important.

but this query language is VERY hard!! and not transparent!
иге I feel how it powerfull!

i look at tutorial... and i note this functions:
(for-each-node-entry node-name fn)
(get-file-size handle) => returns size in bytes

and for example with previous query can I transform it and make some query, which will show summary size of every node?:

for example:
artist (size of all child nodes)
-label(size of all child nodes)
--album(size)
-label(size of all child nodes)
--album(size)

is this realizeable too? if it is not much simply for u then just say "yes" and all

Sorry for a noobish question, but...
I'm new to playlist_tree (never used any "browsers" like albumlist either). But i'm quite adequate to TAGZ.
So: how do i make my playlist tree look and function the same way as the standart Playlist Switcher?  But with one exclusion, i don't want to create and use hundreds of playlists (before that, i used one static (handmade) playlist for each %artist% folder in my library). But i want to use only ONE dynamic playlist connected to Playlist Tree. For ex: when i leftclick on an item in the tree, this playlist is filled with songs, appropriate to a criteria. When i click on another item, it's filled with other songs
I'm sure, it's a simpliest thing
Help is greatly appreciated
ps: sorry for poor english

Hi, how do you get this working in foobar2000 under default UI? I can't seem to figure out how to insert a new UI Element where I'd like to, and use Playlist Tree as that element. Thanks for your great work.

david_dl, thanks! so does that mean I can't use playlist_tree in the Default UI under 0.9.5? Ouch.

Hola... Newbie question - Installed Playlist Tree (all the files in the right place), clicked library/playlist tree menu, but none of the menu buttons work... I click "new folder", "file/open", nothing happens... (upd: i thought my problem could be like the one stated above with default ui... but it's the same with columns ui..)
