foo_ui_columns is UI to which I was waiting eagerly just for this.It's very cool.
But since it's alpha status.I have big problem with this.I can't add colomns.
foobar will be crash.However It's very useful for me.
I wolud like to this component to become more perfect.

hmm plugin seems to have trouble with sorting/displaying playlist with untagged tracks in it, gonna try to reproduce sometime soon (not now - bed!).. pretty neat otherwise
Under Win2kSP4 the GUI shows up as an empty grey window.
Nevertheless congratulations for this nice approach, it's highly regarded.

indeed problems with SP4 + win2000, but keep working on it, sounds promising
It looks very good already but it needs some work, e.g. trying to add a new column crashes it... The status bar font also should be separately configurable.

Im glad you find it useful, thanks for the report, fixed in alpha 2.
changes:
-fixed crash w/ new columns
-improved keyboard navigation of playlist (added home/end/pg up/page down/alt-up/alt-down/space actions & fixed up/down keys; also removed jerkyness/corruptions when scrolling past top/bottom of playlist area using up/down keys)
-fixed scrolling too far past end of playlist
-corrected font of playback order dropdown

The default strings are bad, probably that (?) Also for sorting when you click on columns it just sends the titleformatting spec to the sort playlist function, so things like %_is_playing% arent defined, leading to misleading results..QUOTE(The Link @ Jan 23 2004, 09:15 AM)

Can you try with the new version? If its still broke i dont know whats causing it, i will look into it, thanks.QUOTE(Tri @ Jan 23 2004, 06:56 PM)

yes there's many things still to be done, e.g. implement drag-droping of files, rename playlists, fix up mouse selections of playlist, shift/ctrl modifiers for selections etc. which is the only reason its is alpha. So yes i will make the status bar font configurable, it is just a matter of time.
nice UI ..
- when i click on the 'time' or any other column, it will only sort one way. not in reverse
- i can't add files to an existing tab
- gonna add the ability to delete some of the toolbars? - play order, vis, and so on.
opps .. didn't read the very last part of your post. hope it all comes together.
i think it can be a much cleaner interface than the default one.

i just get a grey window, also. dont get me wrong, its a nice box! 
maybe its one of those things that dont work on win98? i have win98, fb2k7.7b, latest column.dll that you posted.
thanks for your time,

thanks for your time,
Alpha 2 is still just a grey form with a title bar and a status bar in Win2k (SP4). Maybe a missing dll, but there's no error message. I hope this can be fixed.

1. will be changed later
2. do you mean drag & drop? coming "soon"
3. there already should be a right click menu for that, does it not appear ?

Thanks for the hint, there was a couple diff. things about the way the status bar was made so that's given me some ideas.Can you or anyone else with affected os try this version and:
- tell me what parts show up
- paste messages from console (they're set as errors so console should pop-up)
The latest version seems to have loaded up for me just fine, though it did output an error to the console.
I also noticed that I can't set the column width for any columns; it just reverts back to the default.

thanks for testing, but now i am confused..
i fixed the first error 1400 but i dont get where the second one you've got is coming from..
Can you try the new debug version? link It should have a bunch of console messages again, paste them here if you can.
whilst im at it, alpha 3
link
changes:
- mouse movements captured outside of playlist (i.e. scrolls when mouse below/above playlist area)
- more keyboard actions added (enter, shift/ctrl modifiers)
- fixed width of columns not saved from prefs
- added provisional drag & drop support
- added separate config for status bar font
- ensure visible focuses items in the centre of playlist
- playlist renamer
that's enough for now, i think i got most of the things raised above
With the latest debug version:

(win98se) am now getting the interface, when it loads it gives the errors below, and when ever i resize the window it gives errors.
here is a shot of the window (everything default)
when i resize the columns, the pl goes back to the top and the scroll handle sticks where it was until it click it, then it goes to the top. same if i sort the columns.
will it be possible to sort by artist, then album?
umm...where's the play buttons?
thanks again.

Love this UI but couple of problems I've found:
1) This:
& sometimes this:
is fixed by resizing window but then I get:
2) Playback Order toolbar does not work. Order can only be changed via Menu Toolbar - Playback/Order
Please keep up your great work

Great Start! This is going to be really nice when it's finished. Actually, its really cool already.
Thanks for udating.Sometimes foobar2000 crash with this UI.But I love this.
I wish This UI work perfect in near future.
I have another problem.I can change background color but background color never change inside the colums where color is still black.
Can I chanege color inside colomns?
Many Thanks again to make this UI.

Yes, in the "colour" (!) field. The order is "text | selected text | background | selected background".

Seems OK for me, can you explain more? When you sort, the playlist core will scroll to the item with focus. I fixed one bug with scrollbar which would occur when sorting, please tell me if its ok with current version. i also dont know what's up with your menu, i can probably fix it anyway.QUOTE(juglesh @ Jan 24 2004, 08:59 PM)

Love this UI but couple of problems I've found:
1) This:

is fixed by resizing window but then I get:
2) Playback Order toolbar does not work. Order can only be changed via Menu Toolbar - Playback/Order
Please keep up your great work

Thanks for udating.Sometimes foobar2000 crash with this UI.But I love this.
I need more info because i dont get crashes. Can you post:
- what you where doing when it crashed
- how to reproduce (if known)
- crashlog
- operating system
Thanks.
Anyway, alpha 4 with all the above mentioned fixes.
changelog:
alpha 4
- fixed playback order drop down
- fixed scrollbar not redrawn on "ensure visible"
- fixed incorrect positioning of controls
- fixed systray menu not destroyed when click out of it
- added alternative playlist switcher using tabs
I think the tabs playlist switcher it looks a lot better/cleaner than the listbox, the rebar just needs a bit of sorting out.

No, you're not alone.

It looks very good already but it needs some work, e.g. trying to add a new column crashes it... The status bar font also should be separately configurable.

It's ready but ca5e is away just now so no installer can be made. That's what I understand anyway.
Win98SE bug here.
It seems that I cannot manually (though by database search it works) add files with "national" characters:
Björk - I've Seen It All
Brücken, Claudia - Kiss Like Ether [Earth Mood Magic]
Jørgensen, C. V. - Ude Af Sync
Being prime examples.

when i resize the columns, the pl goes back to the top and the scroll handle sticks where it was until it click it, then it goes to the top. same if i sort the columns.
Seems OK for me, can you explain more? When you sort, the playlist core will scroll to the item with focus. I fixed one bug with scrollbar which would occur when sorting, please tell me if its ok with current version.

its ok with current vers. with older vers, the pl would scroll up to the top of the list, but the scroll handle would 'stick' wherever it was until you would click it to drag it, then it would jump up to the top of the scroll column. anyway, fixed now, thanks.

i also dont know what's up with your menu, i can probably fix it anyway.
same in current vers. not a problem, though.
current vers has glitchy vis. vis is ok when playing but freezes on stop(actually kinda cool) and sometimes when stopped is all kinda garbled. again, not a big deal.

well, yeah i was a bit confused that a media player didnt have a PLAY button!!
doesnt really matter, i have buttons on my keyboard and kb shortcuts.thanks alot, this ui may be replacing my std ui!! thanks for all the work you do on your pluggins, i use 'em alot.
Some thoughts and suggestions:
-Setting custom string under Artist to "%artist%|%album%|$num(%tracknumber%,2)" lets me keep my tracknumbers for each album in order, which I like. However, is there a way to sort ascending if I click on the column twice? Sometimes it's nice to have
-Selecting works ok, but dragging up doesn't deselect as it should.
-Scrolling with a wheel mouse doesn't work.
-Could you add the normal menus and the play buttons back? I miss them.
-Make it more like WinXP's details view, with the selected column a different color and a little arrow indicating the direction it's being sorted. Also, I know you set this in the prefs, but I'd be kinda nice to be able to drag the columns around in the main GUI like Windows can.
-Very minor issue, but the Playback order toolbar should have a minimum size that corresponds to the longest item, like the default UI.

1. Done in alpha 5 in right click menu
2. I copied behaviours from default ui, but was slightly broken in. in alpha 5 press space to deselect the current item then when you goback it will deselect them
3. Currently only support is probably from mouse drivers itself (?) I dunno, it works here w/ intelli point 4.1 or something, i may add built in support later (?)
4. Drag/drop columns - maybe. Arrows - maybe, but it would have to be cleared when items are added to playlist/removed/moved because sort order would be diff. Selected column - there isnt one.
5. Fixed in alpha 5.

Does anyone have any requests for columns. I plan to add the following
- Left/centre/rigth align,emt
- Playlist filters (Hide column on playlists named.., Show columns only on playlists named...)
These will break config compatibillity so if anyone has any suggestions please share them.
Very cool, works with w2k + sp4 now
anyway, i did notice a few things, colors in scripts don't seem to work, i know there a little box there for adding colors, but it's not very flexible, i use different colors for bitrate and such....
like this:
Also, i'm not quite sure of the $pad_right(), $pad() and such features, are they working like they do in the normal iu ?
But my my scrollwheel on the mouse ain't working!
And what is the "use custom title spec for sorting by column" ? give an example on it plz
EDIT: oh, and the sorting is kinda nuts on the lenght (i guess we need natural sorting or something like that)
EDIT2: Also, the the dropdown thingy (playmode, default,shuffle, whatever...) does not show, it does not drop down....
Also, a save config thingy like foo_syfm would be awsome

I think this UI is great. This is a minor thing, but since you asked, how difficult would it be to truncate with an ellipsis character ("…") when the text is too big to fit in the column? A nice extra on top of this would be a tooltip that pops up showing you the full text when you mouse over it.

1. You can use colour codes in the string, its working fine here. You can also use tab char's the same way you would with standard ui.
2. pad stuff, If you use a fixed width font probably
3. custom sort spec is the spec to use for sorting when clicking on the columns, the box underneath is where you put the spec
so you could put $num() there and avoid natural sorting4. working here but was giving me wierd problems before, will look into it
5. I will add import/export tools when things are a bit for finalised
My post got cut off somehow

- Left/centre/rigth align,emt
yes, please. be great to have right align. any columns you have right aligned should stick to the right no matter the window size.
also, what would be great is if you could specify that a column would be 'unsqueezeable', that is, if you resize other columns, unsqueezable columns would not change size. could make colums unexpandable, too. ie, if you squeeze other column, this column will not expand.
you could also specify certain columns to be the first (2nd, 3rd, etc) one squeezed. maybe specify that a column would be the first to squeez, but only squeeze down to x characters or pixels. and make columns last(2nd, 3rd, etc) to squeez.
specify column to be the first(2nd, 3rd, etc) one expanded when others are squeezed. set max and min pixels and/or % for column width.

what do you mean foosion?
Since this dll is still in it's alpha stage, it still has some problems when it comes to resizing. The columns aren't smart enough (yet) to adjust their width automatically. A horizontal scroll bar is a good idea for interim releases.. but once all the bugs are ironed out, it won't be neccessary.

I don't think horizontal scroll bars for individual columns are good (not even as interim solution) since they a) are non-standard, b) look IMHO ugly (especially when there is an additional scroll bar because the window is too narrow to show all columns), and c) aren't any easier to code than auto-resizing columns.

Sorry, I don't know any sites for this. Just make a screenshot in an emulator and use an image editing tool to remove the background, etc. MS Paint should do, but it isn't all that great.
