foo_uie_playlists_dropdown, Playlists Dropdown - Columns UI Extension Options

[mixcherry]

So the question remains - is it possible to add such? ;>

I'll add it to my to-do list. Which is getting pretty long, by the way...

Thanks for the sweet plugin! Would it be possible to add an %album_count% function or whatever you want to call it that would count the number of albums in the playlist?

I was experimenting with more general aggregate funcions like $avg('%rating%') or $groups('%album%'). It was performance killer for larger playlists, so I didn't include it in final version, but maybe some day I'll return to that idea.

Also, anyone made some cool custom icons for this or know where I can get some?

You can use any image file for the icon, any size and format (as long as it's png, gif or bmp ). Default icons have been taken from Fugue Icons Set, which contains 2500 icons in PNG format (16x16 px). Other popular sets I can think of are Tango and Silk.

Hi, this is a nice component, but is it possible to use icons on playlists without that annoying blue triangle on playing playlist?

Also, I didn't manage to do dividers between playlists even though I read the whole thread through, and tried playlists named '-' or without name. Also I'm guessing that frame-styles haven't been implemented?

Currently, not. However, you can use tools such as Resource Hacker or Resource Editor to remove OVERLAY/PLAYING resource from foo_uie_playlists_dropdown.dll.

Divider feature was removed a long time ago. Frame-styles haven't been implemented (and most possibly will not be).

Thanks, that did the trick

Any further development here? --> an option to change the frame type would be nice!

Or bug fixing? --> annoying flickering at playlist change in some cases


I hope the component is not forgotten by his author..

Keep up the good work, mixcherry!

Hi. Very nice plug!
But i have a small bug: when 1 playlist (with a custom icon!!!) is present in PLDPDWN, then i add a new playlist (2,3,4...). And this second (3,4,5...) playlist (and all next) are haven't icon's.
When i delete any playlist - all icons are refreshing.
What this?
