Light color-schemes should be declared as non-dark. Dark ones should be declared as dark. If a color-scheme is neither dark nor light, then choose whatever looks best.
Your scheme clearly is a light-scheme. About the special-color: maybe i'm stating the obvious but if you choose yellow foreground on a bright-orange background, then its supposed to look unreadable. That would as well be the case with no color-calculations at all.

Full Version: Navigator-Suite Feedback
Hey lyx, very nice config ya made up, thanks for the work you've put into it.
I've found one (very small) bug, in the format display where it displays MP3, if there is no lame version, there is a space left over.
Heres the fixed code: MP3,MP3[' ('%__lame_version%')'],
Oh and heres another bug (not quite so small this time).
Setting enable folders to 1 doesnt seem to have any affect. I had to move the enable_folders=$get(enable_folders) line to global track specific in export to get it to work properly...

This is very weird. It should not make a difference, because the track-specific line is just a comment - it doesn't do anything and it shouldn't make a difference where its exported. The seperation of trackspecific and nontrackspecific is purely for cosmetical reasons, so that when ui columns gets global nontrackspecific vars that its easy for me to make use of it.
I will investigate why this happens when i've got some time, but honestly, this is just weird and i dont have the slightest clue yet.
edit: found a quick-fix for it - i dunno why it was necessary to put a seperator-char before the first exported var, but it works*shrugs*
Hi Lyx.
Enjoying your Navigator.
I noticed a little glitch: using CLASSIC theme, when you select the currently playing song artist and title info are hardly visible (quality is fine, though).
Can you fix it?
Thanks.

I know about it, but its not that easy to fix while keeping the selected tracks looking obvious in light AND dark color-schemes. It's on my to-do list, but i don't know if a solution to this will be in the next release.
edit: bah, i dont even know my own code anymore after the recent optimizations. Easier than i thought. Fixed in next version.

I dont know if this has been posted, but the play date column doesnt seem to work\display anything since v1.02.
Support for play_date and play_time has been dropped at 1.1.0. Only last_played is supported now(and not just displayed, i'm also doing some nifty calculations with it - see the screenshot on the formatting site for an example)

Hey lyx could you explain to me what the $char(6) in your code, and the $replace functions its used in, actually do?
Its a workaround to translate various color-formats from one syntax into another. Overally, there are 4 different color-formats in fb2k - the standard unselected-only version and the standard unselected+selected..... multiplied by 2 by ui_columns color-translations between the global vars and columns. Since fb2k and ui_columns do not automatically translate from one format into another, i'm doing it manually.
Next version will probably only contain minor bugfixes (like the small glitches mentioned in the recent days). It will probably stay for some weeks like this, because 1.1.0 burned me out and i need a break - besides, i'm currently sick and have some fever.

Hi Lyx,
Could you make the replaygain info in album mode optional like the PERFORMER, CONDUCTOR, PUBLISHER, ENCODEDBY tags?
And maybe add support for COUNTRY ? Or maybe let the user deceide what special metatags he wants to have?

I do plan to make it configurable whats shown in the metadata matrix(so that you can tailor it to your needs), but it probably won't be in the next version - which will only fix minor bugs.
Currently i'm not planning to support COUNTRY.
- Lyx
I meant the A l b u m - M o d e column, not the Metadata-Matrix.
Ah, now i understand what you meant. I'll make it so that when an album does not contain replaygain-tags then the albummode-column will no longer show "no replaygain info" but instead use the space for other info.

IMO it's not so ugly. Personally I don't think this is such a problem... I would concentrate on the bugs already reported (lack of space on the VBR string for instance) but that's just me.
I noticed in your code that you use for some text (monkey's audio, for instance) the ` character (as in monkey`s audio) in the album-mode code. I tried to change that for the ' character but apparently this messes up the entire code and nothing is visible anymore (except a bunch of ????? characters). Reverting to the older ` character does not restore the views and you have to import the configuration all over again.
Do you know if this is a constraint of columns_ui itself? I noticed that it also happens with other consigurations as well.
Anyway, I love your work and am looking forward for the next release.

Those minor bugs are already fixed and will appear in the next version (probably tomorrow).
Thats because ' is used in tagz for quotation-purposes. To display a ' you need to "escape" it with a second single quotation-mark - like this: monkey''s audio.
To avoid the need to escape(lazyness), bugsearching when forgetting to escape it(lazyness) and making the code more clear and faster to read(clean code) i use ` instead of '' to avoid the issue completely. But if its important to you, then you can just replace the `s with ''s.

the sorting of rating and playcount should be made with something like $sub(5,%rating%) because the order would then conform to the arrow direction on the top of the column.

Those columns sort by playcount, rating, last_played and path_raw
I dont know how to implement your suggestion with a reasonable amount of code while still correctly sorting by last_played. I cannot use days_since_last_play, because for that to work the global string would need to be used while sorting - and this would slow down sorting too much.
If someone can tell me how to do it at acceptable speed, then i will change it in navigator.

@edm:
Some interesting ideas in this one. Especially having the format and replaygain in the same line saves quite some space with albums which only have a low amount of tracks. For my personal feeling, the discnumber should be right after the albumname. But with your mod, that may be difficult to do with the available space.

Thanks for posting the color-scheme. That one should be interesting to people who find the medieval-theme not bright enough.

As far as i know, thats not possible without marking single-files with custom-tags or setting markers in the directory-names.
The design-philosophy of Navigator is to not expect anything and work reliable/robust without special tags(and to some extend without *any* tags). Navigator will not support or rely on the user tagging his/her files with custom-tags just so that the display of an audioplayer works correctly. Thats not what metadata is meant for IMHO and from a philosophical POV a quite insane reasoning.
I will also not make it an option, because even with the option disabled navigator would become slower(because of the additional code) for people who don't use this feature as well.
If there are ways to make hybrid-mode work without any additional tags or directory-naming then i will of course think about it, but i cannot imagine how that would be possible.

I tried some different ui_column designs during the last days and most don't have a hybrid mode or use things like %singletrack% tags as an indicator. The designs I liked most I just modified to get a hybrid mode by using %replaygain_album_gain% as an indicator. With every other player I would say that this approach doesn't make much sense but with foobar2000 I think it does. Every file without album gain is a single file for me and it works just fine this way.

I have used %__replaygain_album_gain% as a single mode indicator for ages now and would recommend using it. If that isn't an option, then perhaps a %__singletrack% added with foo_quicktag_sql would work?
Thanks for the albumgain-indicator idea - thats a simple yet efficient and safe way to do it. I am not sure yet if i should additionally check if trackgain does exist (so that files without rg-data will still be displayed as albums). A pro for also checking trackgain is that that way for people who dont use rg at all Navigator will continue to act as expected.

Nope. I will only implement detection via the albumgain-field(and others methods if they don't require custom-tags/naming). That means that if a track is trackgained but not albumgained, then it will be treated as single file.
It doesn't really matter how many people want the custom-tag variant of hybridmode - it's not in the scope of navigator to support layout-features which require custom tags. Of course anyone can freely customize the code themselves if they really want it. But i will not support such features in official releases.

You've been really lucky then. The guessing covers almost all popular methods to mark v.a. albums..... from having v.a. or /va- in the filepath, to checking the va, various and album artist tag. However, it only works in albummode, because in singlemode it would be quite useless.

thank you for the fast reply and the link, lyx. anyway, i can't force the albummode since the playlist is generated by foo_pod, so marking it with -a won't do it. nevertheless i'm pretty sure i installed the album.fcs. mhhh... strange. it simply doesn't want to work.

am i missing something here? you can just tell foo_pod to create a playlist called "iPod (foo_pod) -a-" for instance, and you can tell it to automatically sort the generated playlist using tagz: "%ARTIST% - %ALBUM% - $num(%TRACKNUMBER%,3) - %TITLE%" for instance.

A one-time "minimal" variant of 1.2.0 was released, optmized for faster playlist-scrolling. There will be no support, no bugfixes, maybe not even updates for this variant.
You can get Navigator 1.2.0 "minimal" here:

Not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but with single mode in album mode, if a single song has a track no. tag of 1, then the top border will still show.
Not sure about the normal Navigator Suite, but I found a bug with the "minimal" variant's tag-matrix. If a file has a genre tag but no comment tag, the matrix will still highlight the comment indicator.
Hi!
I'm enjoying the new hybrid mode and have one question in this regard: Wouldn't it make sense that for single tracks the tracknumber (if in tags) would get discarded (not displayed)? That's the only issue for me atm. Otherwise, nice job!
