Navigator-Suite Feedback, questions, bug-reports or just chatting Options

[Lyx]

Intro
This thread is for feedback, bug-reports or just chatting about "Navigator", a playlist design for Columns UI.

The layout is very modular and can easily be adapted to suit your needs - here is a screenshot which shows a few possibilities of what you can do with it:


Description

• usually just works, no matter what you throw at it
• (optional) advanced tag-guess-code
• modular layout: you can enable/disable most columns without screwing up the design
• Singlemode and Albummode (with configurable priority). No last-track tags necessary for albummode(with an obvious naming-scheme Albummode even works with no tags at all!).
• supports the following non-id3v1-tags: discnumber, album artist, conductor, performer, publisher, style, play_counter, first_played, last_played, rating, album rating, encodedby
• multiline display of comment-tags in albummode
• efficient and flexible use of available space in albummode - no line gets wasted.
• advanced playback-stats(requires a standards-compliant play_count-plugin (not the one available from the fb2k-site))
• basic inline-metadata editing capabilities (edit your tags right in the playlist)
• "Metadata-Matrix"-column for a better overview of which files in your collection have which tags
• intelligent column-based sorting of files: sort by completeness of tags, sort by rating+genres, etc.
• very easy to configure
• comes with multiple premade color-schemes and the ability to easily create your own ones
• includes an advanced copystring which makes use of the same tag-guess-code. Amount of copied data easily configurable.
• can be made to occupy less than 25% screenspace on 1024x768

Important!: You need columns_ui for this to work.


About feature-proposals
I currently have no interest in feature-proposals. This is because i consider the 1.x.x line of Navigator finished. Bug-reports however are welcome.


_______________________________________________________________

Changelog:

1.4.3 (foobar 0.9.x compatible)

1.4.2
- moved albummode STYLE-display into a seperate line
- Tracks which have TOTALTRACKS=1 are now also considered singles
- fixed inverted colors in albummode when displaying: performer, conductor, publisher

1.4.1
- fixed wrong upload (STYLE didn't work)

1.4.0
- compatible with foobar 0.9 and the coresponding ui-columns (no need for legacy mode)
- improved performance by making use of new ui-columns style-features to reduce codesize
- sorting by all kinds of playback-stats works correct now
- added full support for the recently standardized STYLE-tag
- added basic support for inline-metadata editing
- redesigned hybrid-mode
- fixed statusbar display-errors when using RTL-languages
- when enqueueing audio-cds, albummode is now automatically activated
- properly honors the new field-remappings

1.3.2 (foobar 0.8.3 compatible)
- bugfix: "daily plays"-column did show wrong values.
- last version for fb2k 0.8.3


1.3.1

- finally replaced the ancient screenshot with an up-to-date one


1.3.0 - full support for the new playcount-plugin

- added first_played-column (new playcounter-plugin required for it to work).
- moved replaygain-indicators from the metadata-matrix into a seperate column
- dropped configurability of the seperator-char, since almost nobody used it anyways

well, i could change the default to dark-grey. Making it brighter would make dark-schemes look ugly. There's not much more i can do about it, because as i said, the strings have no access to the playlist background-color - they can only change the colors of track-rows - thus, there is currently no way to change the bg-color based on the selected color-scheme - unless i make every color-scheme a seperate fcs - i'm already maintaining 4 FCSs and that slows down updates quite alot (thats why i'm now "collecting" fixes and changes and then apply them all together in a new release).
