The G-Force panel ???

I think I misunderstood you in the first place. A %_view% field in the playlist name field (so diff views get sent to diff playlists) would do, yes?

Possibly

Oops, I just realised I left the "Use system menu height" option in (since a while probably). It doesn't do anything before anyone asks.

thanks so much for this new version, I thought I would have to wait for new albumart, and trackinfo and tabbed panel versions but they work and the bar mode is uber sexy!!!

Hey musicmusic,
After installing the final version I cant seem to find how to set minimum height for toolbars. I must be missing an important detail........

Thx for ur help (& the bar mode vis )
Ed

Same way as in previous versions should still work That is set the minimum height in the respective panel's configuration page.

thanks for no 'delete' playlists, musicmusic!

There's a typo in the playlists switcher options tab, "Middle/double clickcreates playlist"

And one in the Drag and Drop tab, "direcotry"

Your welcome



My bad.

I guess you can wait until 0.1.3 for that fix

*smacks his head*
Thanks

Ed

@musicmusic:


Yes, i can resize the playview manually, but it's less accurate when resizing than automatically resize by program itself,
here is a audio player called 1by1,
it have a good UI but it was too simple for me,
it also have a function called "toggle compact view",
after you try it you will know what i want.

Also thx for the replies.

musicmusic, can we get edge style options for the db_explorer and albumlist panels?

Talking about directory/ playlist based players: Is there no plugin yet, that displays contents of directories? It would be helpful being able to add directory based entries to the playlist field of coulumns ui btw.

Seconded

@Squeller:

Yep, This function is great, i also hope musicmusic can add this fuction to next version of the Columns UI , but mainly i talk is the "Compact view" function, great too.

Hi Musicmusic,

Can you Add Drag & Drop Support for tracks from the playlists? i want to add files from current playlists to new ones made in playlist tree by just dragging from the list. can it be added please?

Thanks,

Amiti.

It already has some implementation I use AlbumList panel with dir structure view. Can browse only Database folders, though. Poor, but useful

My foob

you can do that already, but you have to use right mouse button to "keep" the track, or selection, while dragging, not the left one as one would expect , however, it works fine

Alternatively, you can Drag & Drop with the left mouse button while pressing CTRL.

Thank you ,upNorth.

this code works fine in the copy command window, but for some reason albumlist ignores the second item (the '$get(fixed)' one). How do I fix this? Im using 0.1.2 RC1 with everything working fine except this string.

Ok, I will add it to at least album list, in the next version. Probably a minor update in a few days.

I notice a few people have the Track Info Panel showing "Now Playing" info, but for the life of me i can't work out how to change it from "Follow Cursor"

A little help plz?

Took me a while too. Double click the Info area.

Too easy
Thanks!

Sorry if this has already been requested

I would love to have the [album art panel + playlist] on top of the [playlist tree + browser].

Musicmusic do you have any plans to make playlist window a panel or just the possibility to move it for ex. on top/down of other panels/toolbars, etc...? Maybe it's too difficult, I don't know.

BTW, thanks for the new build, and for the new 'bar mode', that's really cool

Yes, actually that is what I was working on for 0.1.3 alpha 1. I have already turned the playlist view into a ui extension in my build, and half done the host with configurable layout, which in the end I chose to make configurable by a tree in preferences. You will then be able to create your own layouts to suit your own needs.


Your welcome

Really good news

Cooool! I've been waiting for that since you released the first version with the panels

how did you get that album cover to show along with all that info???

I noticed that variables can only be one variable at a time in the album list panel. Is this intended or a bug? If you tried:

$puts(artist_,%artist%)$puts(album_,%album%)$get(artist_)|$get(album_)

it will not displayed as expected.

foo_uie_trackinfo on top of foo_uie_albumart. From the screenshot you can also see that foo_uie_trackinfo is added as a tab to foo_uie_tabs

Question

I am new to Foobat2000 and have Columns installed. I want to add FileName including the directory to the playlist. Ie

Artist, Title, Album, Date, length, Filename

How can I do this ?

Thanks

Hi Fido

Exactly as upNorth said in THIS post

ps: thanks upNorth, you beat me to it by a light year

Yeah I figured it would be the most popular thing.. if not at least you won't have to use minimum height hacks every where..


Album list preprocesses the strings, it separates them at the | characters before formatting them. That is why it doesn't work (and btw its the same as foo_albumlist, which foo_uie_albumlist is based upon).

Thanks for this but where do I put it ?

Also would that automatically create the heading at the top of the playlist?

would it be very difficult to change it so the string is processed, then split? I've ran into this problem many times before with the masstagger.

Hey

I can't seem to get an albumcover on my panel. I only displayes a white field!

What to do?
Do I have to add all the covers my self or can I get it to download by itself?
How do I add a cover in the first place?

Thanks!!

You'll need to read the topic about the album art component itself, it's here:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....l=album,and,art

AFAIK, you'll need to download the covers yourself.

You need to get an image of your album and stick it into the folder in which you have your audio files. You need to rename the image to "folder.jpg"

Then when you start playing something in that folder, it should bring up the image!

small bug (or rather, nitpicking):

with columns UI, the selected item frame color overlaps on the bottom of the font, killing a few pixels:
http://web.axelero.hu/fka2636/mappcol.png

with the default UI, it displays fine.
http://web.axelero.hu/fka2636/mappnocol.png

I couldn't find any options that would be related to disabling this.
I know its just a few pixels, but still, it can be a bit annoying....

Also, is there an option that enables the content of one column to overlap to the other? For tracks that don't have all of the artist/album/title columns there.

I think it should be possible without much effort. I give it a go, but bear in mind the reason it is preprocessed (as far as i know) is in case you have | characters in your tags.


It was intended, I always thought it looked silly in the standard ui having the frame below text. I guess it depends on whether you prefer readibility or whatever. You can, as an alternative, adjust the (relative) item height to 2 so that it never overlaps.

No. Closest thing is having one column and do it like that, with tabs or something.

Adjusting the item height will make the distance between the lines higher. I want to keep it as minimal as possible.



How can I adjust it so it displays only one row with no tabs if some of the id3 data is not present, but makes tabs if every info is present in every track of the album? In fact, is it even possible to handle every album seperatly when applying tabs? This would clear up some of the albums with variable artists a LOT.

Then again, I could always make it in a way so the album title is in front, followed by the artist/song title, instead of "artist - [album track#] track title". But even then, I would like it to be applied to only the full albums, not the tracks I have mashed in random order at some points.

Maybe in a future version an option to switch between 'classic' mode (for legacy strings) and a new improved mode where its processed first, and instead of using the | character, it uses that special square color code character instead.

You make a good point, I'll see what I can do.

Edit: I don't think it will be possible due to the way metadata fields with multiple values are handled. If I format before hand Ihave no way of telling if you are refering to a field or it is a string as a result of formatting the string. This is a problem if you consider some files may have a certain field others may not.

Currently albumlist differentiates between the two because it can detect a titleformatting script before it is formatted by checking for a $, % or # character.

I guess I will add an option for it then, you're not the first to complain..

Love the plugin, just wondering, howdya move the 'sidebar' to the top, like i've seen on some peoples ones...

You can either insert a panel in the toolbar that has a min height setting. If it doesn't you can always insert a panel tab which support a min height. Just right-click on the toolbar and add the panel you want (make sure you have the 'list all toolbars' enabled under preferences)

I've tried this column plugin and it's very nice and customizable. There's just one small problem, can't get Samurize to detect its window like it did with the Default UI and grab the window title. Anyone's with me on this?

I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it on the plugin side, 'cos Samurize is probably using the GUID of the default UI to look for its window...

EDIT: one alternative is to open the Samurize executable in an editor and replace the string {DA7CD0DE-1602-45e6-89A1-C2CA151E008E} with this: {E7076D1C-A7BF-4f39-B771-BCBE88F2A2A8}...

Thanks, s'all good now!
