I apologise if this is a stupid question, but I'm not a regular user of foobarv0.9 (I usually use v0.8).
But anyway, I have a decent computer in front of me (for a change) and wanted to try out the newer version - its just, none of the columns ui components I installed seem to be anywhere (ui_tabs, ui_album_list, that sort of thing).
Can anyone help?

This is a quick one, and dumb, but I can't find the answer and boy do I feel silly asking.
What is the square character that's used in trackinfo and column display to designate a color? It surrounds the hex designation for a color, like []9c9c9c[]. I'm assuming $char() something or the ALT+xxxx shortcut?

Yey, I got it working! Its not very obvious when you first look though...
wraithdu: I believe you are looking for $char(3) however I would strongly suggest moving from $char(3)BBGGRR$char(3) codes to $rgb(rrr,ggg,bbb) codes because $char(3) does not paste into the forum properly and it will be difficult to interact with others when using that code. Also, I personally find RGB much more easy to work with and you can easily find values from the windows color chooser without messing with bin to hex conversions
DarkBlackCorner: I assume you found updated version of your components from the "Wanted v0.9 plugin ports" page?

Are there any mirrors or such for musicmusic's stuff? I am very interested in trying to mess with Foobar's UI.

Columns ui is nice, but i have little problem:
In standard UI when i press play button on my keyboard it starts playing or pause, but in colums UI when i press it i get error that it did not found play in actual directory or something like that (i don't know exact error now, beause i'm on differnt computer). How to fix it?

lolita: a little more info plz ... but you may want to check prefs/display/columns ui/ on the layout tab ... right click on either the horiz. splitter or vertical splitter and insert panel/toolbars/buttons ... then after it's inserted click on the configure button ... at least thats what i did. columns ui can actually use any and all of the ui elements from the std_ui and you can put them wherever you want and assign buttons and commands seperately.
musicmusic ... can there possibly be added a command like $rate(); that maybe can use an 2 icons (.ico) included in the dll (an empty and filled in star [16x16]) ... the command could be something like $rate(#ofStarsToUse,%metadateFieldThatHoldsThe#ofStarsToFillIn%) ... we can just add this command to a column and that way we don't need any other extensions to display the ratings of our songs.

Well its button on keyboard that send wm_play command to applications.
lolita: oh ... you're talking about a media keyboard with like a play button. well you got me there. i'm not sure how to use those ... i just use the configured keys (by default i thinks its the letter "c")

I didn't changed anything from standard and either i don't see it if i look into prefrences.
HMM! When i press it in preferences it pause/play and osd (kx drivers osd for it) for it apear, but when i have focus on menu, playlist etc. it don't work. \:
I wonder if window title can have somthing to do with it ...

File> Preferences> General> Keyboard Shortcuts
- Click [Add New]
- Click on the Field "Key" toward the bottom
- Press the multimedia key for play on your keyboard
- "<unknown>" should change to "Play / pause (MM)"
- Check the box "[x] Global Hotkey"
- In the action tree select:
Main> Playback> "Play or pause"
- Click [Save All] then [Close]
- Click [Add New]
- Click on the Field "Key" toward the bottom
- Press the multimedia key for play on your keyboard
- "<unknown>" should change to "Play / pause (MM)"
- Check the box "[x] Global Hotkey"
- In the action tree select:
Main> Playback> "Play or pause"
- Click [Save All] then [Close]
"Little" issue with this is that when i create new keyboard shotcut click on unknown press play/pause button on keybor it don change to anything.
It sounds like something else may be intercepting your keypresses. Did your keyboard come with software? Have you tried updating, reconfiguring, or removing that software?
For sure kx drivers do, but why it worked with standard and not with columns ui?

Is there a way to hide/remove/disable the main window title bar?
I know I can set up a full screen panel but I'm asking if it is possible without having to use the plugin foo_dockable_panels.
Thanks.

I asked this in the General forum but, following Yotsuya hint I'm posting it here as a feature request to have an option in columns ui: "Show title bar" as we already have "Show task bar".
It would also be nice having something like: "Show separators between panels" in order to have a totally merged background if every panel has the same background color.
Thanks.
To moderators: please don't consider this as double posting. Thanks.

Oh, that'd be so great. I hate to mess around with those dockable things.
I'm sorry to ask this but is this plugin even being worked on anymore? 
Hmmm....site seems to be be down. Been checking for the last few hours. Unfortunately, my foobar needed to be reinstalled.
Does anybody have a copy of the newest version of this plugin?
EDIT: Never mind....Site came back up and I grabbed a copy.

Hello,
I need a little help!
I want to change the Display of my Album column in my playlist, as nearly everyone of you is doing.
Actually i have the Album name for every single track, and its allways he same.
What I want is that just the first one contains the album name, and if the 2. 3. n. contains the same album name just to show nothing. If the next song has a different album name, show this one and check the following files.
I see that on nearly every screenshot but i didn't find a code for just that. I don't want to change the complete foobar.
Can anyone help me out of that? I searched a lot, but all what I found was fsc files which changes everything i dont want.
greets from Germany

Hixxy: see also this other recent thread describing the same thing.
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab
Select the album column on the left and enter use this code in the "Display" subtab on the lower right:
$select(%tracknumber%,%album%)
I assume you are running Columns UI because of this thread, but for reference if anyone is not using ColumnsUI then go to:
File> Preferences> Display> Title Formatting> "Playlist" Tab
And change %album% to $select(%tracknumber%,%album%)
Regardless of which UI you use, this "trick" will make the album name appear only for the first track of an album, so it will need you to sort your playlist in track order to work as you expect.

Hello Yotsuya
Worked fine
Thanks a lot.
Worked fine
Thanks a lot.
I'm having an... interesting problem. Upon fresh install of Foobar and all components, I cannot resize the horizontal splitter in my layout. The vertical ones work fine. I'm not exactly sure if this is a problem specifically with ColumnsUI, but it seems to be the most likely cause.
My layout goes something like this:
Horizontal Splitter
--Vertical Splitter
----Playlist Switcher Panel
--Vertical Splitter
----Single Columns Playlist
Nothing is locked or has minimum sizes. I just don't get it.
Hmm. I take that back, I think. This could be a problem with SCP, since it fixed itself for horizontal resizing and then immediately stopped working for vertical resizing. Oh, and then it fixes itself for resizing in both directions... *sigh*

I have a tabbed panel stack with 3 trackinfo mod and a lyrics show panel.
When I click on a tab I can see it shows as the active one but, in fact, the panel does not change.
I.e. If I click on lyrics, I can still see one trackinfo and if I right click the settings I go to are of the info panel,not the lyrics.
If I change layout and then go back to the previous one, then the stack works correctly.
If I restert Foobar the bug starts again.
??
EDIT: It seems that if I remove the Lyrics panel the problem disappear.

Using Columns UI (Version 0.1.3 beta 1v7) and Default User Interface don't always give the same value for "selected tracks total length".
Something to do with %length% and %_time_total% ?

From Columns UI request wiki:
I disagree that it's no different. Using [ctrl]+click to select multiple tracks, easily get lost if you by accident click without holding [ctrl] or the track changes. Using checkboxes will help selecting many files at the time, and hold the selection.
I put the request in for locked splitters (or panels), to avoid the user from resizing panels, which are meant to hold a specified size (or hiding them with accidental double-click). I made the request earlier, and have also seen other request for it.
And please, make the splitter-width configurable

... Now I have a more involved problem here for people who know Foobar pretty well. Here is a pic of my newest layout since my hdd crash. I have ditched the browser, album art and some other plugins and it runs much better with the amount of music that I have.
[img=http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1729/foobarpe0.th.jpg]
Now that is all well and great, but here is my problem right now. When songs don't have track numbers or have other little issues with their tracks, often all I see is the title of the track. ((For example, in the picture all of the songs that the arrow is pointing to are tagged with album/artist information, but it isn't displayed correctly because the track numbers are all screwy.
[img=http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/5396/foobarprobjb0.th.jpg]
Now, in another .fcs (azreal) that I was using, for single tracks or with no track info, I could get it to display information in that left column. It would display Artist [Album] or for long albums it would do Artist [first letter of each word in the Album]. How can I adjust the code for that column so that I can make it display that? I've included the code for the "Album Information" column below.
first these settings are from preferences-->display-->columns ui--->playlist view--->columns
the code is below: the first set is the "display" tab and the second is the "style" tab
display:
style:
One other issue:
I added ratings to the Title&Length column... my problem is that I can only get it to view as (3 stars). With the number....The code is below. Please notice that it is set to only display a rating, IF AND ONLY if there is a rating. This is the part I can't seem to retain when I want rating to show as ( ••• stars)
Does anyone know how to edit the code below so that it will show (••• stars)?
Also, is there a way so that I can change the font color or the rating displayed on NON-PLAYING tracks? I want to change the rating to of non-playing songs to show up as RED, instead of gray?

Thank you so much for all your help.
Moderation: added codeboxes.

One other issue:
I added ratings to the Title&Length column... my problem is that I can only get it to view as (3 stars). With the number....The code is below. Please notice that it is set to only display a rating, IF AND ONLY if there is a rating. This is the part I can't seem to retain when I want rating to show as ( ••• stars)
Does anyone know how to edit the code below so that it will show (••• stars)?
Also, is there a way so that I can change the font color or the rating displayed on NON-PLAYING tracks? I want to change the rating to of non-playing songs to show up as RED, instead of gray?
display:
CODE
$if(%_isplaying%,
$if(%title%,$if($strcmp(1,%various%),[%artist% :: ][%title%],%title%),%_filename_ext%)
$tab()0000FF|0000FF '(' %rating% 'stars )'
[%_time_elapsed% / ][%_length%]
,
$if(%title%,$if($strcmp(1,%various%),[%artist% :: ][%title%],%title%),%_filename_ext%)
$tab()737373|737373 ['( '%rating%' stars )'] [%_length%]
)
$if(%title%,$if($strcmp(1,%various%),[%artist% :: ][%title%],%title%),%_filename_ext%)
$tab()0000FF|0000FF '(' %rating% 'stars )'
[%_time_elapsed% / ][%_length%]

$if(%title%,$if($strcmp(1,%various%),[%artist% :: ][%title%],%title%),%_filename_ext%)
$tab()737373|737373 ['( '%rating%' stars )'] [%_length%]

Thank you so much for all your help.

There anyway to get foobar remember where it left off in each different page? Im switching between Now Playing W/ Trackinfo Mod to Playlist tab with Trackinfo, Browser, & Single Column, and whenever I switch, the playlist tab reloads to go to "All Artists" Thanks
I'm not sure if someone has already asked this but I couldnt find it anywhere so, I got Columns_UI foo_ui_columns-0.1.3-beta1v7.7z installed and I'm using windows vista.
I have this problem that when i search for a song or play tracklist with shuffle on, the list doesnt scroll to the current song. So I press next song and the playlist stays at the top but starts playing a song somewhere in the middle of the playlist. Then I'll have to scroll to that song manually to see where it is going. If someone has a fix for this it would be awesome. Otherwise I'll have to go back to the default UI.
EDIT:
So everytime it picks a new track at random it returns the playlist display to the top

Hey vivagardner, I notice you have two tabs in the top bar, The two tabs. could you tell me how you did that. Thanks
I think he used foo_uie tabs
Request:
Is it possible to have no longer a window bar on the sides of the playlist?
I am using Panel ui and it looks this way
It would be really cool to have the ooprtunity to set the windows edge style to zero

Spirit Of Ocean:
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist> "General" Tab
Have you tried setting "Playlist edge style:" to "None" ? because if you are using PanelsUI then the ColumnsUI playlist should not have a border unless you specify one with the above setting or $set_style().

Thanks! You are my hero
Maybe I oversaw this because I updated my columns ui a few days.
I must say there are so many settings that It happens very often that I ask for things which are already available but I oversaw them.
I think that Is really a big problem because many people have the same problem.
Really thank you Yotsuya
A suggestion for improving usability:
This usually works in all Windows menus, and in drop-down boxes in many (but not all) programs. If it is not difficult to do (perhaps a matter of setting a property of the control?), please enable this feature.
I also have a question: is it possible to rearrange items in a playlist without having to select them first? If I simply drag with the mouse, it selects the entries, so if I want to move single items, I have to click on them, wait for the double-click delay to expire, then click again and drag ... this is very painful to do if you want to completely rearrange a playlist. Is there a better way to do this? (Sorry if I sound ignorant, new user --> I've only used foobar2000 for ~2 weeks)
- Enable click-and-hold for the playback order drop-down box.

Unfortunately its just the way the control behaves. You can check displays properties etc. Even a lot of the dropdown buttons in IE7 behave like that..
I don't think its worth even trying to hack around with the control. Only realistic workaround I think would be to use a different control. Maybe also you would find it easier to change it using the Playback menu.

Using Columns UI (Version 0.1.3 beta 1v7) and Default User Interface don't always give the same value for "selected tracks total length".
Something to do with %length% and %_time_total% ?
Pictures:
Default User Interface (8:49)

Using Columns UI (8:48)
http://nyarlathotep33.free.fr/ha/col.png
(actual length is 8:48:600)
Its fixed since recompile with newer foobar2000 SDK. I guess older SDK had truncation bug in pfc::format_time_ex.
QUOTE(mil3s @ Dec 11 2006, 19:30)
Bug perhaps? How come columns ui doesn't show the sliders pressed state on the progressbar or volume control?
QUOTE(bubbleguuum @ Dec 17 2006, 16:12)
I don't think it's hard to fix, just probably RealChildWindowFromPoint() making it crash because it looks like it's not implemented yet by wine.
Indeed. Except I can't fix it

Is it me or have the keyboard shortcuts for moving playlists up/down the column playlist disappeared? I've searched every possible permutation I can think of for move, playlist, etc., and nothing's showing. It used to be [main] > playlist > move back/forward.
Sorry to quote myself
but I don't think I ever got an answer to this.I would assume since this was formerly in [main] that this isn't something that was provided by Columns UI originally, but if this functionality is no longer there (as it appears not to be) could I request that hotkeys be made available for the "Move up" and "Move Down" functions in the playlist?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. If it's not easy to do, then it is not worth bothering with it. After all, this is just a minor point and one can get used to it (and we don't have to change the value that often anyway)....

I have tried just making a single playlist column with just the artist, but I can't get it to just display the artist name once. Browser still is giving me trouble too.
please if anyone can give me some guidance

Just tried Album List, and it is working so far, just doesn't look as clean as Browser
I just made a new TEST version available here. It has a few improvements, listed in the changelog. Note the copy/paste in layout editor has one limitation currently - it lets you copy single-instance panels. Also note it doesn't use the Windows clipboard, so don't expect it to persist across foobar2000 instances. Also, being a TEST version, I only recommend testing the inline tagger on test files in case of any bugs.
musicmusic you are awesome.
i have been messing with columns ui and managed to get a vertical splitter and all its contained elements very wide. i cannot reach the vertical scrollbar on my playlist. i need help controlling the width of my columns.
I don't know if this has been mentioned or not. In your latest official and test release above the undo function won't work when I move some entries in a playlist using mouse or between playlist using right click drag or ctrl left click drag.
Using 0.1.3 beta1 v8 TEST and found that, the length of selected item (in status bar) went strange when internet radio was selected :

Why does the "Action to perform when middle clicking on playlist item" only has two options? I want to open the 'properties' when i middle click on a playlist item. Is that possible?
