Maybe. But after 0.1.


Actually, it does seem to be possible from some quick testing. But it wont be implemented now, after 0.1 at least.

I dont have anything against making the padding configurable, its just there are enough options as it is..

It would probably have more relevance only when the onmousedown etc. stuff is implemented anyway.

^ Yeah, sounds like a plan When is the expected time of arrival for 0.1? I'm waiting on tenterhooks for it

Steve

When the bug reports stop coming in

I think there will be at least an RC3 and possibly an RC4. That could be a fair while really, it depends on how things go..

Or in meaningful terms, at least a couple of weeks.

Funny how long it has taken you to get RCs for 0.1 release

In lieu of all these feature requests I'd just like to say that any added features or functionality at this point is a bonus for me. I can't think of anything I would want in Columns UI that isn't already present. Columnds UI is the perfect UI for the best music player. I'm sure musicmusic and everyone else here will come up with clever additions to the program and I'm looking forward to all the stuff after 0.1, but that will just be the icing on the cake. Thanks musicmusic for your hard work and time you've put in and thanks everyone else for the cool suggestions and bug hunting that have made my favorit plugin better.

Can I post my pet-peeve bug? The tab order on the dialogs isn't always correct. Not a biggie.

Otherwise... awesome work. Really nice.

is it possible to add albumlist or explorer or something shows my mp3s to the lett side of foobar?

musicmusic : can u do transparency option for ui_columns !?

I don't know about it being perfect but thanks




Probably bad planning on my part.


Thanks, I always seem to forget about that

It is fixed for RC3.


You have asked that question several times...

...and got several responses. Please go back and read them.


I will look into it after 0.1 and if it isn't any kind of hassle I will probably implement it.

I *might* have a small bug with RC2. Even if I untick the option to untick status bar and title import on the import settings, the statusbar font gets changed. Anyone else noticing this?

hmm, would that feature somehow be able to be intergrated into the next version of ui columns? i think foo tunes has this ability already so it might be possible

That was intended behaviour, it was only meant to affect the strings as described. However, you are right; it would probably make sense it leave the status bar font out as well. It is changed for RC3 (which will probably be released tomorrow).

double post sorry

possible bug: system tray string wouldn't get updated for dynamic info (internet streams etc).

No. No it won't. It will not be considered and will be left out to spite you. Seriously though, please stop asking the same question; once was enough. No offense..









Anyway, concerning the strange delay effect in the headers when horizontally scrolling, I noticed that it also depends on the size & complexity of the playlist and formatting code. Hope that may be of some help.

This post wasn't here when I posted before ?

Yes, this may be implemented in a future version. I will see.


Thank you, fixed for RC3.


I find it hard to notice myself, maybe its my simple config or the LCD monitor ?

I don't know, but I think it is fixed in RC3.

changelog:
rc3:
- fixed minor bug when menu button partially off the left off the screen, menu would appear in strange place
- fixed weird delay when scroll playlist horiz using mouse wheel
- fixed column reordering + cancel
- header correctly sized when scrollbar shown/hidden
- fixed some font handles were being unneccessarily created
- fixed some bug in playlist painting; probably sometimes caused more to be painted than neccessary
- fixed you could see playlist scrolling to focused item on startup
- the import/export option includes the status bar font now
- more error checking when importing
- fixed dynamic titles on systray
- other minor fixes

The only bugs I am aware of remaining are:

-ellipsis thing only works on left aligned columns (I gave up on this for now)
-pressing alt whilst menu has the focus does not remove focus from the menu (i forgot about this)
-sometimes after using menu, the button remains pressed (i have not been able to work out how to reproduce this 100%, far from that in fact.)

If you know of anymore, please post here.

oh, since i installed rc3, format strings like asrael and plist don't work properly anymore, it displays lots of "?" instead of tags
any one else has this problem?

no you are not alone
there must be something wrong with RC3, because plisk and azrael config don't work. They load, but don't show most of strings. They are just empty. I tried simple configs, they work. It seems that there's something wrong with global variables...
But it's great to see new version!

ooops redownload from my site

you probably got me whilst i was uploading paranoia

heheh - yay for me being awkward

Yeh - all is fine now Cheers for the update

Steve

[EDIT] Think i've found a bug - not sure if this is intended behaviour or not... When altering the "item height" the chars are restricted to one... but it allows values into double figures (i didn't bother trying 100) resulting in displaying 1, but really being 11. (the same also happens with minus numbers, which can lead to some crazy, processor demanding playlists). Either needs to be enlarged or restricted imo [/EDIT]

Steve

Two minor bugs:

1. Seekbar tooltip will display in the top left of the screen when you single click the seekbar button if there's no room. Kinda hard to explain...

So a screenshot is provided Here

2. Create a smallish sized foobar window. Add lots of files, so number of files causes a scrollbar. Scroll down a bit and select a track to play. Maximise the fooby window. Then restore the fooby window to original size. Ideally the scrollbar should be left where it was before the maximise? Instead the scollbar is at the top.

Like I said minor bugs

@musicmusic
What is the Speed Test button for?
(The one under Globals)
Thanks for putting the Help button in there!!!

Neksus

Yes, probably both

It is supposed to be restricted from 100 to -100, but that might only be when you use the up/down arrows though. I dont think anyone would set it so large anyway

Thanks, I will change it for whatever the next version is.


1. Reproduced, thanks. Clicking multiple times without moving the mouse does it.

2. You mean if you scroll to the bottom of the window, then max + restore, the scroll position is where it was when maximised? Sorry, too much hassle to change and nothing else behaves like that.


Its not particularly interesting, I was just using it and didnt see any sense in removing it.

It measures the time it takes to execute the current titleformatting script displayed, using the first 10 tracks on the playlist. Maybe you will find it useful to keep your script as fast as possible, or something.

I'm having a little problem trying to display the album info on the left of my playlist.

All the tags are fine and no dupes... tried reloading info from files and it still won't show.

Any idea why ?

musicmusic: RC3 is otherwise a great version, but you somehow messed up the menus with multimonitors and negative coordinates, the menus show up on completely wrong positions when clicked. The problem is only with main menus, not the context menus. I'd appreciate a quick fix (a RC3b or something ).

I thought I might have. I guess I was wrong to assume that the desktop window covered everything.

tempfix at http://members.lycos.co.uk/musicf/test/foo_ui_columns.dll

Can you explain in more detail ?

Swearing should be against the rules here. I was offended.

ep0ch, I'm sorry. Won't happen again.

I'm using UI_Columns and Azreal (both latest version)

On the left of the playlist, starting a track 1 and ending at track 4 there's some space for album info, but for some reason it won't show here.

I attached a pic to show you what I mean...

More likely to be a tag mess-up than anything to do with either of the said downloads. I'm afraid I'm too much of a n00b to know enough to say anything helpful, other than make sure you've got the ID3v2 plug in *shrugs*

Steve

@Drogan: I also had this issue. Redownloading the plugin and reloading the uicolumns settings script solved this problem for me!

Thanks alot, that fixed it

Can you redownload the tempfix version and tell me if it is still working correctly ? I don't have any multiple monitors systems to test on, but it should have the (minor) menu fix in RC2 (which I just disabled for the previous temp version) as well as working with multiple monitors.

Thanks.

Works great, thank you

I've got a feature request for the columns UI:

The default foobar UI has a slider to choose some alternate system tray icons. Can this same functionality be added to foo_ui_columns?

Or, alternatively, can someone explain to me how to extract the icons that seem to be built into fb2k?

You could use a tool like Resource Hacker.

I like to drag folders into the left hand playlist sidebar with an explorer window open to simulate what foo_tunes does. Is there any way for the new playlist that doing this creates to take the name of the folder that I dragged in? Maybe the album title? Some kind of formatting string? (instead of New Playlist (n))

rc4 is out. if no problems are reported this will be released as 0.1 final.


Well for dragging single directories, using the directory name would make sense. Well its better than "New playlist" anyway.

Titleformatting is per track, so it wouldn't make much sense to use that..

Something will probably be done about it in a future version.

w00t!!!!!

All appears to be working well - no problems so far

Steve

Thanks for the update!

Sorry to break the news, but a bug report for RC4:
With "Show playlists sidebar" checked, double-clicking on the divider to hide the playlists sidebar adds a new empty playlist.

No problems here, are you sure you're clicking on the right place? What happens if you disable 'double click to add playlist'?

First, Thank You for columns.

Maybe sub playlists in sidebar ? . I mean eg. some artis - when click on him it will open new sub playlists with his albums.

How U think ?
It's possible to do this ?
Musicmusic ?

Alright, just found out that this problem only occurs when "Show playlist tabs" is enabled.

To reproduce:
- Enable "Show playlist tabs"
- Enable "Show playlists sidebar"
- Enable "Enable middle/double clicking to add playlists"
- Double-click on the playlists sidebar divider to hide it

Any reason to have both tabs and sidebar enabled?

i just tried columns_ui after having stayed away for quite some time (i tried it when it was first created, but it was reeeeeeally buggy), and i'm glad to see it works really well now i'm sure bugs will continue to get worked out, and maybe possibly, some time in the future, this could even become a default foobar ui? anyhow, thanks for the development of this. keep up the good work.

one question: foo_scroller no longer works for me now that i use a different ui... is there any chance we could see the option: "Follow cursor always jumps to currently playing track, but does not follow selected tracks"? in other words, i use foo_scroller so i can basically have

playlist follows cursor - No
cursor follows playlist - Yes

this way foobar always jumps to show the playing track, but i can click around during playback without disrupting the playlist order.
