[Not My Release] ELPlaylist Options

[Lucky Luciano]

This looks very promising. Too bad about the poor text antialiasing, compared to SCPL

[Kirya]

Looks like we can't dynamicaly change font with the $font() function:

CODE

$font(Courier New,8,italic)%artist% - $font(Courier New,8,normal)%title%

it's always normal instead of "artist - title"

[TomBarlow]

I'm going to have to request another group level for this component. It would just be so much awesome. I can understand people's concerns on speed but only one more grouping would be all I (for one) need, so I can have artist>album>tracks. Hopefully you could still (conditionally) set it to zero width, so it wouldn't mean any extra clicking, and it would really save on scrolling, plus it would look great!

If the dev reads this and thinks it's a good idea, I'd be well happy, but if people really think it's unnecessary then I'm not going to get upset...

Cheers,
Tom

What do %el_is_valid% and dummy line mean?

[TomBarlow]

A dummy line is an empty line in the playlist, which only appears when no. items is less than the minimum item no. you enter in the settings menu. They're useful if you want to put artwork as a background to your playlist, you can make sure the whole album art is shown instead of just a narrow band.

%el_is_valid% returns 1 for a normal playlist item, 0 for a dummy line I think.

That's odd, I can. Are you sure they're not actually being selected but you just can't see them? Try adding some code like:

CODE

$if(%_selected%,
$drawrect(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,0-0-200,0-0-200,),)

To the Track List display, it should add a dark blue background. I don't know if the default adds something like that though, I'd have thought it would.

Oh another thing, you might want to check Single Click Action for Items is set to (none), just to be sure it's not that.

Thank you for your answer,I just tried everything, also with the new single clik action
I do see when it's selected (already in the config) but I can only select track one by one
very annoying,especially to tag new entries in my library
Maybe you can just tell me how do you proceed ?
thank you

[TomBarlow]

That's odd, must be a bug, as for me, left clicking and dragging across different items selects them, as does clicking on one and shift or ctrl clicking on another.

[pepito]

yes, must be a bug,because with single column playlist,it works
well, nevermind
thank you

Tom thanks a lot for the code. I could not select several tracks before I implemented it.

I was wondering how to change the color to something more fitting by the config I use.
I am using the Dark config by CepiPerez.

What code do I need to make the selection area transparent?

Thanks a lot.

Rightclick on the playlist, choose 'Settings'

In the lower half of the window you see the white field where you can enter the code Tom has given us.
Let me know if this works.

You can choose another colour by replacing the RGB codes in the example I gave. I chose a blue, 0-0-200 as an example, if you want to find RGB codes, open a colour palette eg by clicking the colour button next to 'background colour' in the ELPL settings, choose your colour then remember the 3 numbers on the bottom right, for red, green and blue. Put them where 0,0 and 200 are, but keep the hyphens. I think one is a border colour, so they can be different. You can add another number to give a transparency: -0 would be completely transparent, -255 is opaque. E.G red with 50% transparency and a black opaque border is: $drawrect(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,255-0-0-128,0-0-0-255,)

Make sure your code is ordered correctly too, you'd want the backgrounds to go behind the text, so put the rectangle code before the text code.

I'm wondering what you guys have done to your codes, I just checked and there is a selection rectangle that comes with the default view:

CODE

$enabledraw(%el_is_valid%)
$if(%el_isplaying%
   ,$gradientrect(0,0,%el_width%,%el_height%,245-245-245,255-192-192,)
   ,$if(%el_selected%,$gradientrect(0,0,%el_width%,%el_height%,245-245-245,192-232-255,horizontal),))
$if(%el_focused%,$drawrect(0,0,$sub(%el_width%,1),$sub(%el_height%,1),,54-64-128,),)

I guess you must have deleted it or something!

Pepito: are you sure your selection rectangle is there for %el_selected% and not %el_focused%?

Cheers,
Tom

I found the code that will give me the transparent selection that I want.

Here it is:

$if(%_selected%,
$drawrect(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,-0-224-225-255,-0-224-255-255,),)

Thanks a lot for the help Tom.
Could not have done it without you.

Pepito if you copy and paste this code into your playlist settings you will have what you need.

PM me if you need any help. I can send you screenshots if you need them. :-)

[pepito]

thank you, Cepi made a new release 1.7 and the bug is set !!
for colors you can change everything you want in the pui layout,and now Cepi select 3 colours options
But I change directly in the code for the item I want

[Lucky Luciano]

Could you please add all possible command for single/double/middle click? Just like PanelsUI had.

[TomBarlow]

I think there's a bug with single click for show/hide items when auto collapse is enabled. Clicking a group makes it flicker on and off and you have to click again to see it. Groups don't automatically collapse when you click on a different group either.

confirm

[buktore]

New version is out.. from what i saw..

- $font() command work with $drawtext,$drawtextex (for those who didn't like anti-alias in $drawstring, use this instead, it look just like SCPL)
- Added: glow option in drawstring experimentally.

thanx for the news

[Lucky Luciano]

I tried v0.2.9.1alpha and there was no antialiasing in $drawtextex
