I have an interesting proposition for a plugin (or perhaps a modification to the Foobar2000 core) that I think many people would find useful.
I'm not sure how feasible this is, (maybe it's kind of already been done) but basically it is as follows.
There are options for many 3rd party components that one might want to change regularily. For example, the Equalizer, or toggling on/off the OSD. I would like to be able to switch the continuator plugin on/off quickly.
It's a bit cumbersome to do these things, becaues you have to go into the preferences dialogue, find the component's configurator, and then adjust the settings, close the window, etc.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to add controls for all these sorts of options to the UI of foobar2000? Like, for instance, adding buttons to a toolbar, or menu options to the menu.
It would be really cool if foobar worked something like Directory Opus, which gives a great deal of customizability in this regard.
In any case, if this were the case, I think that all the 3rd party components would have to have "hooks" for such controls built into them, so that foobar could use them to interact with the component.
Could anyone give information on how this kind of thing could be implemented? If my description isn't clear, please let me know so I can clarify.
