foo_uie_single_column_playlist, single column playlist viewer Options

[terrestrial]

I have made a plugin that displays the playlist in a single column with "headers", which I find useful for creating a narrower and smaller layout.



This is a beta so user beware. Download

For documentation, please refer to the wiki. (thanks to FofR, and the other contributors).

Requires:

MS Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Library
GDI+ - only needed for Windows 2000

However, I'm having a problem. Maybe it's something you haven't implemented, or maybe it's dumb scripting on my part, but I'm trying to make a script that handles albums playlists and singles playlists. For singles playlists, I have an exclamation point (!) precede the playlist name (for example, !Rock), while albums playlists are normally named (for example, Story of the Year).

Here is my code.

Group By

CODE

$if($stricmp($left(%playlist_name%,1),!),%playlist_name%,%album%)

should work in the next version.

I love this plugin. I'd like to request a song notifier based on the foo_uie_trackinfo_mod code. It could work like pretty popup but much more customizable. The more consistency between plugins, the better.

Yeah, eventually I want to write one using layered windows....

terrestrial is it possible to make it so that it can handle more formats, pretty much the ones that the current albumart panel is capable of useing?

yes, eventually.

@terrestrial:
IMO it has a huge potential, but what are your future plans with it? Are you planning to develop it much further, or is it close to satisfactory for your needs? Nothing wrong with the latter, but it would be nice to know before I get too excited and invest too much time. (I really enjoyed coding for foo_looks, but suddenly danZ, the developer, vanished, and it was closed source... . I wish he was still around.) Is the source available for this plugin, and if not, will you release it at some point?

I intend to develop it further as time permits and I have the will to

The current config isn't dimensioned for advanced layouts. Combining code for graphics, fonts and general formatting, demands structure to be readable and features to reduce redundancy. Currently everything is crammed into three formatting boxes.

Eventually I want to use text files, but for the time being the current boxes work, albeit crudely.

I dont know if this is possible, but could there be group side margins as well as headers?

Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly, but you can already create "margins" using $align...

Some kind of implementation of columns would be great, as well.

you can also fake columns with $align().

I have added your drawrect stuff, more details concerning FONT would be great also.

thanks for maintaining the wiki page

Figured something like it, I'll work on making it like yours and a new (nice) layout when I wake up;

very nice
