havent been able to test 0.9beta, actully. no plugin aside from the ones in the official package run, claiming something is wrong with the utf8 dll.

All 0.8 plugins are broken, as stated in the 0.9beta-thread. Updated plugins will probably only be available when 0.9 goes final (because then the SDK will be released)

Theres definitely something wrong with the field remappings for tracknumber, with the $num( ,2) not being adhered to automatically like it should. I had to replace the field remapping with $num(%tracknumber%,2) to get it to work.
Also, album artist is still being set a value, and thus VA mode is always on in the title section. Why the hell meta_test 'ing is not stopping this in globals, yet a meta_test for it in the columns works is rather strange...

EDIT: oh not sure if this is intended on your part or not, but you ignore the option of remapping the title field by using a $meta(title) instead of [%title%] in the global config... So no filename is displayed if there is no title present.

I noticed all those things as well and came to the same conclusions. However, i didn't know yet about that VA-problem. Thanks.

The percentage indicator is on the wrong side. Furthermore the playing arrow is moving from right to left.

Any ideas?

"Not here" ™

Which foobar-version? Does it happen with other MP3s as well?

And *important* OS-language?
bbt-hh
foobar2000 v0.8.3-special. And yes, this happens with other files as well (Mp3, Ogg, Flac).

I've got absolutely no idea when and why this behaviour occurred.

Like stated above "WinXP Pro-German".
Lyx
Weird. It seems that this is an RTL (right-to-left) problem. So, the string is interpreted as if it is for right-to-left languages.

@Chaosblade
do you use WinXP? I'm beginning to think that it may be OS-specific.

- Lyx
chaosblade
Yup, i use WinXP SP2. Might be the Hebrew RTL issue here, aswell.
bbt-hh
Ok. I remember installing RTL-support for a friend, but deinstalled that option after he finished his work.
I'm using a LTR-system and that was only a font-option, so it doesn't make sense to me that it's messing up foobar's statusbar.

I've got to leave til tomorrow now - but one thing you may want to try out: Remove the tabulator-char ( $char(9) ) and see what happens. At least in chaosblade's case, i think it may be what triggers it.
chaosblade
Not using the original statusbar code right now, but ill import it back in and try that out in order to report back.

Removed $char(9), nothing else. sad.gif

I deinstalled eastasian fonts and everything is fine again.

Bevore that I've investigated things a little. I've extracted the statusbar code per editor from the fcs-file and changed the special characters (progress-play, progress-pause, progress-bar and the two start/end characters of the bar). That worked, so I guess that the special characters are misinterpretated by the OS as RTL-characters when importing the fcs-file.

Hope this helps and thanks for your effort.

Thanks. Could someone (chaosblade?) please repeat this step by step to isolate the char which is causing this? I cannot test this on my own machine.

Also, chaosblade a while back reported a similiar problem in one of the columns (title-column?). Did this also happen with 1.3.0? If yes, could someone post a screenshot?

Sorry, that will not happen, because:
- Tracknumber-guessing is the most resourcehungry single feature in navigator(except of maybe the color-scheme mechanism). I already streamlined the trackguess code in the past because of that. I'm not interested in making it more complex again.

However, plisk once made a LUA-tagguess script which can guess 3-digit tracknumbers. But it did save its results in tags instead of memory/db-only. I dont know if fb2k 0.9 will allow a more useful store-method - if yes, then tagguessing may become much more efficient and flexible in the future.

Would'nt something like this work for 3 digit tracknumbers?

CODE

$ifgreater($num(%_filename%,3),100,$puts(tracknum,$right($num(%_filename%,2),2)),)
$get(tracknum)


I tried it out, seems to work pretty good.

But maybe it's too resource hungry/stupid? smile.gif

Not resourcehungry at all :) Actually, thats a great idea of doing tracknumbers at the beginning of tracks - i didn't know about that trick yet. However, it will only detect tracknumbers at the beginning of filenames. I'll take a closer look later to see how i could implement that into my trackguess code. Thanks for sharing this one.

Its this part:

$puts(progress_play,'[ ▶]')

I suspect the |> symbol messing the order up, but anything i put in there besides normal ascii english chars, messes up the order again. If i put something like that, lets say 'A', it appears like this :

:::::::::::::::::::::::::A87%:::::::

Which is still wrong. Im really not sure which char exactly creates the problem.

EDIT: posted too soon ^^ If i change the progress bar char, :, to something else, like -, it displays it well, :::::::::::::::::::::::::::A::::: 87% ∶∶ .

Those chars DO exist in the hebrew fontset, but i guess they break rtl order in some odd way.

Uff, i guess i will just at some point replace the progressbar with something more "conventional" (and more ugly). Thanks for the help.

minor update
Version 1.3.2 *FOR FB2K 0.8.3 ONLY* fixes the wrong calculation of "daily-plays". The fix was already included in 1.4.0alpha, so its a backport.

This will probably be the last version of Navigator for fb2k 0.8.3. I only did it so that people who will stay with 0.8.3 for a while have a version of Navigator which does not have any major bugs.

The usual procedure applies - backup your modifications before updating, etc.

enjoy,

Hi, just upgraded to v1.3.2 from v.1.2.2 (love it) and came here with a couple of questions.

Firstly I'll confirm that
CODE
$puts(progress_bar,׃)

is seen as RTL on my machine (XP sp2) and is the only char in progressbar config which is.
(an hour ago I thought the progress bar went backwards on purpose smile.gif )
I changed this to a plain colon and it seems to work fine.

Why I was actually here was to find out where the replaygain indicators in the tag matrix went.
Saw the changelog, separate column now, OK all well and good.
Just got a couple of comments here:

Is there a reason this column is set to only be shown on singlemode playlists?
I'm still gradually working through replaygaining my collection and like it shown all the time.
Restricting it to singlemode only meant it didn't even show up on the context menu to choose columns, otherwise I would have found it.

The other small point is you still have
CODE
// symbols for trackgain and albumgain in the Metadata-Matrix
$puts(symbol_tg,♪♪)
$puts(symbol_ag,♫)
in the global config but use literals in the column setup.

Reason is that the album-mode column already shows if an album is replaygained (and in which mode). Since Navigator is quite screenspace-aware, the dupe-info is hidden.
If you want it to show up all the time, then open the UI-Columns preferences, columns-tab. Then choose the "RG"-column and change the dropdown-menu below "Playlist-Filters" to "Show on all playlists". Afterwards click the "Save All"-button.

Thanks for pointing this out. Will be removed in the next version(which will only work with fb2k 0.9). If you plan to stick with 0.83 for a while, then you can of course safely just delete those lines(as well as the two coresponding export-lines at the end of the globals).

i dont want it to be like that. and it's too complicated. i managed to remove only to album name but not the tracknumber.
cant it be an option in globals? it's preety useful i guess.
Lyx
Removing the entire column-background of the tracknumber for singletracks in albummode(so, making it look as like the album-column background) would look weird because the cellborders would look weird in the tracknumber-column then. This is because a string cannot know which track is the last track of an album. Since i'm not gonna support the LASTTRACK-tag, thats not gonna happen.

So, the column is there anyways - i dont see much reason to remove the tracknumbers-only but keeping the blank tracknr-background.... unless this option is wanted by a significant amount of people - then i will add it.

Of course, you're free to mod the albummode-tracknumber column so that it hides the tracknumbers of singletracks.

Removing the album-data from the albummode-column on the other hand is easy: just look at the beginning of the albummode-string - TRACK-IS-SINGLE-section, album-part (you may also want to remove the seperator).

- Lyx
Lyx
I dunno what i was thinking - i mistook your proposal for another idea with which i played in the past.

I will make hiding the tracknumbers AND albuminfo an option in the next version. But a seperate option for both will probably not happen.

Not sure if this is a bug or if I did something never intended or what. I changed the playlist font and it had the side affect of making the music symbols for the currently playing item and the RG column just show big squares. I tried changing the symbol in the config for the RG column, didnt help. Tried changing the font back, didnt help.

Edit-

Found how to fix this for now: goto prefences > Columns UI > Columns tab > "RG" column and "Pos." column > Display tab. Under the script that says "DO NOT change", find the symbols that look like rectangular squares and replace them with whatever you want.

My current track column animation thing goes like this now:

8
8=
8==
8==D

Not a bug. Choose an unicode-font, and it will work.

Problem is that if i do that for every single thing which can be displayed in the albummode, then the configuration will look similiar to the columns ui-preferences :-P (to be fair, the current WIP-version of ui-columns partially succeeded in cleaning up the mess). So, i will only make features configurable which are interesting to a significant amount of users. For exotic needs, users will have to manually edit the code.

So, it basically works like this: if enough users want a feature, then i will probably implement it. Else the added complexity outweights the gain.

Fortunatelly, the code in the columns isn't that difficult to modify with a little bit TAGZ-knowledge. The warning-label is just there so that it discourages people from playing with things which they do not understand, and then ask for help here(which in turn means that i would have to hunt ghost-bugreports). But if you know what a line of code does, then just ignore the label and feel free to mod it :)

"users will have to manually edit the code."

The way Navigator displays single tracks is quite stupid IMO. It looks strange with the album mode background colour for singles in the album column. And I don't really care about the knowing the album and tracknumbers of my singletracks anyway, seeing as singletracks are just odds songs I like and don't particularly care for the whole albums.

I've seriously modded Navigator, stripping out stuff and adding in my own features every now and then and this is how I've set up the display of singles.

The background-color of singletracks will stay as it is in the original Navigator, because IMO it looks quite stupid when singletracks look as if they are part of the metadata of the previous album. It would also be inconsistent.

How do you add a dividing line without additional tags, like marking the last-track of an album?

I agree its not optimal. But i dont know how to improve it without requiring additional tags(which i do not want to support).

i.e. i'm using navigator, but he is looking like this...

so.. what i wanted to know is how can i remove this infos...

so. in conclusion, i wanted to know how can i remove the infos that i hilighted, ie, the coment tag, the ripper and so on. and how can i put my statusbar and toolbar like the the first pic.

and also , how can i remove, the little tab that says bitmap.

In conclusion,, you guys rock! this cool config made me change from winamp to foobar.
Thanks:)

btw, does anyone know the name of that visual style of the first pic?
if so , where can i get it?

thanks.

Not really sure if this is the right area but i cant think where else to put it, i have been trying to modify a track info config to match navigator 1.3.1 album mode (9 = ASTREAEDGE scheme) without luck, if anyone knows the colour codes i need to use to make the background match the background of the track info panel it would be a great help, i looked through the fcs but couldnt find anything useful. once i have the colours matching i will probably change the text to white so its easyer to read as well.

sorry to whoever wrote this track info i know my changes are a mess but since navigator does not display replay gain info on 2 track ep's i had felt i had to add that info and it became almost impossible to read the defaut text colour once i switched to a tft.

heres an image of my current setup, i want the dark blue (im colour blind so dont shout if im wrong) from the playlist as my track info background. would it help if i posted the trackinfo code?
