Doesn't work
Odd its working for me.
Have you got the latest version?
Did you place anything after that last ')'? If there is anything additional to !noheader! I don't think it will work.
Did you replace NORMAL with what you normally group by?
Can't think of anything else...
BUG 1:Foobar crach when I double click on empty space on playlist
BUG 2:When Im pressing key ARROW DOWN selection jumps over header (thats OK) but when Im pressing key ARROW UP selection steps into header (it should also jumped over it)

AFAIK uie_single_column does not truncate text with dots at the end. You can only make it cut the text using alignabs.
(I am working on a routine that will truncate the text and add dots.)
Concerning the images-can't-be-on-other-physical-drive thing, I think I've found a workaround using a feature available to NTFS filesystems : the junction (same thing as a hard link on *nix). All my music is at D:\public\music\<artist>\<year><album> and my foobar is at c:\program files\foobar2000, and each cover is in the album's directory. So I junction "d:\public\music" to "c:\program files\foobar2000\music" using SysInternal's freeware junction.exe, and Foobar can access the d:\public\music, thinking it's in its own directory on C:. That's quite a geeky tweak, but it works a treat! No need to copy all album art to C: when my music is on D:, after all.
I'll just add thats possible by nature in vista, As it comes with its own advanced NTFS tools.

You could also use imageabs2 which uses absolute path. Works perfectly for me
IMO "the images-can't-be-on-other-physical-drive thing" is no longer an issue since $imageabs2() has been added. I routinely load images on different drives using explicit paths.
Whoops, should have read more deeply before posting ^^ I've been disconnected for the two last months and many things happened since ! I only learnt about the new single_columns_playlist yesterday and start fiddling with it, that's really awesome.
Edit:
... and now, another problem with $imageabs2. I am trying to add a subtle shade to the group title, this is how I intend to do it :
1) paint the whole layer blue, red, green, whatever
2) add a semi-transparent PNG layer, consisting of a 1px-wide gradient from transparent black to transparent white, stretched along the whole group.
So here's the code I use :
$puts(groupcolor,30-69-197)
$puts(profile,c:\profils\rheuh\application data\foobar2000\)
$puts(groupgradient,intf\groupbg.png)
$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-$get(groupcolor) pencolor-null)
$imageabs2(%_width%,64,,,,,,,$get(profile)$get(groupgradient),)
But it won't work. I tried :
$imageabs2(1,64,,,,,,,...) ==> OK, 1px wide at top-left corner
$imageabs2(2,64,,,,,,,...) ==> KO, still 1px wide at top-left corner even if I specify 2px
$imageabs2(3,64,,,,,,,...) ==> KO, nothing is displayed when 1st variable is > 2
I also tried specifying the original gradient's size with $imageabs2(%_width%,64,,,1,64,,,$get(...),) and it still doesn't work.
That's confusing, because resizing works great with covers :
$puts(art.cover,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,front.jpg))
$puts(art.frame,intf\frontframe.png)
$puts(art.nocover,intf\nocover.png)
$imageabs(12,9,$get(art.nocover),)
$imageabs2(64,64,,,,,12,9,$get(art.cover),)
$imageabs(8,8,$get(art.frame),)
I noticed that stretching is only proportionnal for the covers : if the CD cover is, say, 1000x500px (front and inside, unfolded), then the thumbnail's size will be 64x32 instead of 64x64 as I specified (but the 64x32 image will be centered in the 64x64 frame).
Is $imageabs2() weird, or is my formatting string wrong ?

Is anyone else experiencing this bug? When I use quicksearch, the results look like this:
As soon as I switch playlists and then switch back, it looks fine, though.
I've got some feature requests, also.
-Some way of having a custom sort within the groups and for tracks with !noheader!
-Reordering of tracks (by dragging)
-Dragging tracks outside of playlist using the right mouse button (like columns_ui)
Thanks again for this awesome plugin!

i confirm that too.
a Bug:
- single column playlist scrolls down a little when adding/changing tags (rating for example) on active Autoplaylist window. The locked playlist isn't sorted by rating btw
QUOTE(Yotsuya @ Oct 11 2006, 04:48)
when singlecolumnplaylist changes tracks it simply scrolls the playlist until the newly playing track is visible, usually resulting in that track appearing at the top or bottom depending on wich direction it needed to scroll. If you prefer the track to appear more centered like in the default playlist or columnsui playlist I would suggest you stop by the foo_uie_single_column_playlist thread and making a feature request.
thats what im doing right now
please add a feature to make the next track automatically show up in the middle of the panel.

Hi. How do I add a function to the playlist which checks if the folder which contains the songs in current album starts with VA - so it would change the %artist% to Various Artists ?

~JzE
if you tag the files in a various artists album with %album artist% set to "various artists" then you could simply use this to display the artist
%album artist%
if the %album artist% tag does not exist, it will simply display %artist%

this is pretty simple and functional:
CODE
$iflonger(%title%,55,$cut(%title%,50)'...',%title%)
checks to see if the title is longer than 55 characters, if it is then it cuts it to 50 and puts "..." at the end, otherwise it just displays the title.

~JzE
I use this:
CODE
$if($stricmp($substr($directory(%path%,1),0,9),%date%' - VA'),'Various Artists', %artist%)
My VA folders are name as such though "year - VA - album name". if yours starts with "VA " then change the 9 in the code above to a 2 and change the "%date%' - VA'" to just "VA" and it should work.
It would be nice if it there was possobility to export playlist look to html format with covers copied to same directory

I have a rating script that I use with a kb shortcut - increases rating by + 1 every time.
In the single colums view it drawms the 1st rating star and then it dtops redrawing until i click on another tab and then switch back so it can redraw.
Also was wondering what the chances are of inline editing ala columns ui with meta editing this would be very cool..
keep up the awesome work am really enjoying this component now - I dont even use track info anymore my single column is enough for all my uses album art - album info etc..
I would really like it wildcards could be introduced for displaying images so I could get any *.jpg;*.png to be displayed from the albums folder.. this would then make album art component totally redundant for me...
the less components i use the faster foobar runs +++ thanks in advanced

Yeah thats a good one you got there except I can't reproduce it. When I rename songs to start with draw or drawn they show properly so it has to be the way the song is tagged.
