Selecting "All" for Genre will hide all the artists and albums that have all songs that have no genre. I think this is a bug. I have to ctrl+click on artist to de-select it to get it to show all my artists and albums.

Just make your own custom genre column:
$if2(%genre%,Unknown genre)

Assuming %genre% is the correct thingy

It says on the site that you'll add statistics columns if you like the idea?
Is there any way you could add a "type" statistic. It would requite an extra tag I guess, but I really want to be able to sort my Live albums and EPs separately from normal albums.

I posted a list of suggestions for improving search in Facets (and fb2k's built-in library search) here:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=63229

Is there any chance of seeing these ideas implemented in a future version? The umlaut issue is (in my opinion) the most important one. Thanks!

Keyboard shortcut to the search box: planned.
Fixing unexpected/inconsistent behaviours: planned.
Changes to the query syntax or rules itself (including umlauts) would have to be made in the core.

How is that a statistic?

If you have a tag field for that, you can just add and use it as a column, like [%type%].

Hi.
I noticed the new query syntax DURING LAST doesn't work in search box. (XPsp3)
Thank you.

I started using more shortcuts and noticed something strange:
When using "Send to playlist and play : someplaylist"  when some artist or album is selected in Facets all works well and someplaylist starts playing with the right artist or album, BUT sometimes the playlist is not sorted in the regular %path_sort%.


What about this?

Is there a way to reset all facets to ALL if you have multiple instances of facets? I have more, and I sometimes notice it won't refresh right if I use another facets panel if I just used facets in an other panel before that. The selection of the first panel is then still active.

i noticed a bug in the facets plugin:
- the rating statistics column doesn't work with ratings from the official playback statistics plugin... 

Facets [2008-02-25]

It works for me, but it shows squares, same as in properties. Think it has something to do with a missing font or language on my system.

You can make a new facet though, with this code
Code: [Select]
$pad($repeat(SYMBOL,%rating%), 5,)
and use multiple columns for showing ratings with a symbol of your choice.

I'm talking about the "Statistical columns like Duration, Total Size, Average Rating, Play Count, and others."

The Average Rating column doesn't work with rating fields from the Playback Statistics plugin...

Support for those ratings is planned.

Background: Facets currently retrieves ratings from the tags. The playback statistics component makes them available through the new metadb_display_field_provider API (and thus, the %rating% title formatting variable), which was introduced as a successor to the dropped metadb_display_hook API in 0.9.5.2. foo_facets has not been adapted to reflect this change yet.

The code I posted is a workaround for it.

Facet column patterns are not able to calculate ratings across multiple tracks, to for example display ratings for artists or albums.

I've got an additonal question to one of blankfaze. Since I organize my foobar in more or less the same way.

is it possible to double click in the Facets-view the album you want play and hereby stay within the same playlist but without wiping the complete list? So, put down in actions:

1. Look for your album in facets view
2. Double click to play
3. album gains focus and plays in your current playlist (where the complete playlist stays intact and not replaced by your selection)

Maybe it's already possible, but ive been playing with the mentioned options in the events dialog and havent been able to achieve the described....


Somewhat related:

Suppose, I browse the library using the facets browser.
I pick an album, the tracklist gets displayed in the bottom. I double click a song to play.
When I browse another album, the facets playlist will be replaced with the new selection
So as soon as the current song is finished, it will start the first song of the new selection.
This happens disregarding the setting u have in foobar2000 to stop playback follows cursor

No, that's not possible yet, but planned for a future version.


I think I was just explaining the same scenario and thanks Frank for addressing this. I will wait for a new release when it is ready.


Edit:

I was also wondering if it is possible to update the Facets browser when you double click a (large) user playlist. It is then possible to utilize the Facets panel to search for tracks within this playlist.

It's currently listed as an undecided feature in the roadmap:

Add a context menu command: Utils, Create Facets view from these items.

There is an undocumented feature for this purpose:

[%<artist>%]|[%performer%]|[%composer%]|and so on



I'm trying to use this feature.
My tracks are tagged as follows, every track has a %artist% and some tracks have %artist2%
I want to have %artist% and %artist2% show up under a single column as if they were the same tag.

Code: [Select]
$if($not(%genre2%),[%artist%]|%<artist2>%)


When I use that string, all I can see are the tracks with %artist2% tags while every track with just %artist% are listed under '?'.

NOTE: Don't pay attention to the %genre2%, I use that filter out my classical tracks which are tagged differently.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I have a feature suggestion, I don't know if this easily feasible or not.
Is there any way that you could support string manipulation functions on Multi-value tags within a column?

For example, it would be amazing if this function would work properly:

Code: [Select]
$right(%<credits>%,$sub($len(%<credits>%),$strchr(%<credits>%,';')) )


Any hope for this?

Thanks again

Autoplaylists created by the facets components are not viewable in the new foobar 0.9.5.4 beta interface.

Facets [2008-02-25]

The feature of editing autoplaylists has just been introduced in 0.9.5.4 beta. Peter has yet to provide an API to which I could report the query and sort strings to be displayed in the dialog. In addition, I currently don't have the time to focus on Facets. Please have some patience.

Sorry, changing this would require a revision of title formatting in the program core.

Does anyone have a formatting string to ignore the leading The in a facet when only the first letter of the artist is displayed?
I'm using
$caps($left(%album artist%,1))

I would like The Smashing Pumpkins to be under S not T


Sorry if this has been answered before, searching for The on a forum is a fruitless task.

$caps($left($stripprefix(%album artist%),1))

$stripprefix has been introduced in foobar2000 0.9.5.3.
