Ok I have a problem.
I want the F to be visible everytime there is a new directory. I have the following code below in an coulmn. It seems that foobar resets the tk_album variable for every new media file.

The F is visible all the time...

$if($not($strcmp($get(tk_album),%_directoryname%)),
$puts(tk_album,%_directoryname%)
F
)

Some pointers would be appreciated.

Ok... I am using the foobar 0.9.1 and Columns UI 0.1.3.

Where can I find documentation. Like a reference for these?

The search in the forum is quite poor becuase every thread is staked with 100 answers. And you don't know for which version of foobar ui the thread/questions is for.

In the wiki there seems only to be for the old foobar and UI.

For example I have seen commands like $get_global and $set_style where can I read about these?

plz help me...

Try the ColumnsUI wiki, the Title Format Reference, or titleformat_help.html in your foobar installation directory.

thnx. Title format was helpful but global_variables doesn't make any sense.

hmm

AFAIK, that is the problem: you can't set or change variables globally from within a column's Display script.
Though I'd be happy to be wrong about this.
