2author iu_columns:

can you create some features for your ui plugin like this :



that is freeremovability panels(toolbars) & more than one sidebar

or just made playlist as toolbar

PS: it's i create in paint

It's just foo_uie_tabs with foo_uie_albumlist in every tab

@hawk
This is what i use:

I have my various artists under a folder called 'various' or 'various artist'. Mods in their own folder.

2all:
who know, for what toolbar "general\buffer status" used.
what it must show?

I think it has something to do with the http reader plugin

I just DL'd ui_columns and some fcs files. How do I restore ui_columns to its default settings?

Thanks!

John

[edit] corrected typo

Hey thanks Krazy. I tried it but it is not quite what I am looking for. I would like to see my directory structure with artist and their albums sorted by year. Your code does that indeed that but it also shows all the songs of the albums. I would like to see the album with a + besides them so I can open them.

I hope you understand my intension. Thanks a lot for helping though. I appreciate it!

Feature request:
How about more options for what to do when middle clicking a playlist item?
For instance, I'd like it to open up the directory of the file clicked.
Or even to make a new playlist of the files middle clicked
Thanks

Isn't there a reset button?


If not, just close foobar, copy the ui columns dll to a different place, start and close foobar, copy the dll back and then the standard settings should be there again

Something quirky with RC1:
When the foobar main window is partly obscured by some other active window and I mouse-over the foobar wnd, it will move to the foreground (although it won't be activated - title bar doesn't change colour, i can still type in the other window, etc.).

By the looks of it, it only happens when a playlist tool-tip is about to be displayed.

XP SP2
happens with and without visual styles
pants on or off

Not here™

Perhaps you should try just reinstalling foo_ui_columns? (Well I'm sure you did that already, but I just wanted to say something more helpful than "Not here" )

XP-SP2 Here too, using visual styles.

I also noticed that. It seems to be restricted to other windows in the foobar2000 main thread that use the desktop window (or NULL) as parent window.

Thanks, I reproduced also, though my pants are still on. What window/component where you guys using to reproduce this? This bug has been there since pre-0.1, or whenever it was that tooltips were added..

It was caused by the line
when creating the tooltip, and so needs to be fixed in foo_history as well. I got that from msdn, but the tooltip still displays correctly without it.

edit: Its fixed for RC2 which I will upload shortly..

Please check its fixed with RC2
Changes:


Also updated ui extension sdk:

Hey musicmusic, one other thing that im wondering about. When you enable the volume and highlighted track length in the status bar, I keep gettin them in the system font (ms sans serif or something). I seem to remember in the past that i was able to get them to be the same font as what I select in the columns_ui preferences. I'm not sure whether its because im using HmmXP visual style, gonna go test it out.
Using RC2 btw, thanks for all your great work.

[Edit] Yep, it seems to occur on a few visual styles, where the font for those two options changes to (i think) the font used for menus in programs. Is there any way to override this?

Ed

Small bug I think; the menu won't release its focus after using some commands (ALT+L > Remove dead entries, for instance, then pressing DOWN will open the Playlist menu again). Happens when you use only keyboard keys it seems. Using RC2, and thanks.

I can't reproduce it at all this morning, so can't test RC2 as yet.
Yesterday just about any window was triggering it, including firefox and an explorer window.

Hope it's not to late to get this one into 0.1.2, but the option "Show ellipsis when string does not fit " doesn't seem to work when the column is right-aligned. Screenie here.

Is there some way to set how entries are sorted after being added to a playlist by the album list panel? Mine tend to sort alphabetically:

Is there some way I can use my own sort string (that is, one thats chronological)?

Edit: Clarified.

Edit2: Realized it wasn't a columns issue and removed pic.

Maybe, this could help

Try changing your default sorting: Core/adding new files/sort incoming files by

musicmusic: Any chance to see a non-trackspecific global string in the future? What i mean is a global string which only gets executed one single time when a playlist is selected - vars would then be exported to the current track-specific global string. It could be optional - maybe a third tab in the current globals-page.

Thanks for all your hard work on this great UI.

Thanks, but thats not what I'm talking about. I want a way to sort the actual "database view" playlist, not the tree view. As far as I can tell, the "Use custom sorting for tree items" only sorts the tree and not the generated playlists.

I responded to you but quoted the wrong person, try changing your default sorting: Core/adding new files/sort incoming files by, to include the date tag

I'll look into changing it after 0.1.2.


Thanks, it should be fixed for 0.1.2 final.


Oh, ok. The other thing is that other applications don't display tooltips when there window isn't active, I dont know if that is preferable or not though.



Known, maybe there was some techincal reason I didnt do it for right-aligned (I forget). For centred I wasn't sure whether to put the ellipsis in the middle or at both ends. I'll look into right-aligned again before final though.

Yes, I don't know when though, other things have greater priority. Maybe it will be in 0.1.3 though.

Merry Christmas & Best Wishes for 2005 @ all

Thank you !

Thanks. I didn't realize that still applied to columns.

I can't select the volume control panel anywhere.

Using ui_columns v0.1.2 alpha 4 and uie_volume v1.4.

How do I activate the volume control?

Your welcome



You need to update columns ui, current version is 0.1.2 RC2.

kode54 hasnt updated the description for volume control on his webpage if that's where you got alpha 4 from

Hi musicmusic,
May be you misread my last post, but i think this function might be useful for me and other people.

Here's my latest config, decided to keep to the default windows xp blue theme!

I tried again, it is just a technically a bitch to implement, so it won't be in 0.1.2 final, sorry..


I saw your post. Its just that Columns UI is a playlist-orientated UI. I see what you want to do but I don't think just hiding the play view will work very well. You can of course, just resize the window to do what you want though. I could add a menu item to do that for you if that is all you want, but nothing more.

I wanted to release 0.1.2 final today but my msvc is refusing to load since this morning, giving a memory could not be written error.. So unfortunately there is no 0.1.2 final until I can fix this..

I tried searching for this but nothing came up.

I am trying to get fb2k to work on windows 2000 with multiple user accounts. I have created another user account as a standard user. When I try loading fb2k, I get a loading error from the foo_ui_columns, followed by all the installed uie plugins.

Any one know why this is?

Thanks

Stoopid msdev having buffer overruns or something reading registry..

0.1.2 final is out

changes from rc2:


Works here, i didnt try a limited account though. What is the specific error(s)?

I'm too stupid to find the christmas bonus. What is it?

A small bug (unless this is part of the test?)

When on the Globals tab and I hit the Tools button and click Speed Test, it causes fb2k to freeze, using 99% cpu. Running WinXP SP2 w/latest zlib and libpng.

I get the following errors:

INFO (CORE) : startup time: 265 ms
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_repeat.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_albumart.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_albumlist.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_tabs.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_trackinfo.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.
ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_ui_columns.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL.

Activate your console before launch the test... (and yes the cpu is fully used all along the test... On a relatively complexe config like mine the test lasts something like 10 minutes)



Maybe is this test!?

My computer doesnt like limited accounts, but I tried dropmyrights with "constrained" privleleges with similar results:

Sorry I dont have an answer as to what is up with that. I cant even log into a limited account here, explorer fails to initialise. So I dunno, maybe some dodgy program I have installed :/ edit: The error for libpng failing to load is "Access is denied." I assume its the same for the other components, I dont know why it gives this error though.

I didnt realise it was so slow with complex strings (its just several seconds with my simple config). Oh well its too late to change it now, maybe you should make your strings simpler.

Nope. I said it wasn't very interesting, but you can keep guessing if you want..

Is it the Components > Columns UI > Show status bar/toolbars options in the toolbar? I haven't noticed those before.

Musicmusic,

I have a small request for your plugin. Would you consider making an option for the user to also have the ablility to set the item height (rel. to font height) of the currently playing song?

Well, that won't work that well if you have a $select(%tracknumber%,...) in your tagz... I guess a lot of people have this, and if they view the files which have played x times, it won't add upp to complete albums (mostly).

I'm pretty sure a solution that makes a %_albumlist_view%-tag is out of the question (if not the same person who have the source for the console-panel makes one) but to be let the "Autosend to playslist"-box process tagz would be a step in the right direction (and have some way to include the view you chose for the albumlist panel)!

I like the bars mode in the default visualization
It looks great in the sidebar

Hi there,

i used the f****** search function but didn`t get it. How do i make the first track of an album appear in a different color than the rest? I use an alternating color scheme like this:

// Alternierende Farben in den Zeilen
$rgb(0,0,0)|$rgb(0,0,0)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(240,240,240),$rgb(210,210,210))|808080

$rgb(0,0,0)|$rgb(0,0,0)|$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,1),1),DESIRED_COLOR,
$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(240,240,240),$rgb(210,210,210)))|808080

thank you very much

Yeah, the bars are great. Much better than the lines. Now I actually turn on the visualization.

Thanks!

Maybe (Original) This request could be of interest, considering that you can have several tabs with different "views" of the albumlist.

If the request is implemented (which MusicMusic agreed to do after the next stable release - Now 0.1.2 Final) it would enable to select different columns viewing schemes according to the albumlist view and thus render an equivalent service as an %_albumlist_view% tag.

Is it the bars mode for the visualization?

hehe
