QUOTE(2Pacalypse @ Nov 9 2006, 12:49)

can anyone tell me why this isnt working for me?
i put %playlist_name% in a track info panel as it displays "?" while %cwb_activelist% works
It doesn't work in the track info panel, only in the single column playlist (and probably normal columns ui playlist aswell..)

Okay. 1st time user of this component.
Tried to read thgough some of the 37 pages of this thread + Wiki, and tried many many things.
Nothing works. My image files are not displayed.
I just know I doing
something wrong.
All my album art is located in D:\#Download2\#Internet\#Radio\#LastFM\LastFM Desktop\cache\.
My final destination is actually to right-align the album art throughout the album or part of it (makes more sense). But before I ask how I should right-align it (another $align(right,top)? Guess not) I need an image to display - which, as I said - it doesn't.
CODE
$if(%_selected%,$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-SYSCOL-13 pencolor-null))
$if(%_focused%,$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-null pencolor-SYSCOL-6))
$if(%_selected%,$textcolor(SYSCOL-9),$textcolor(SYSCOL-8))
$padding(4,0)
$align(left,top)[%tracknumber% | ]%title%
$align(right,top)%CODEC% %bitrate% | $div(%filesize%,1048576).$left($right($div(%filesize%,1024),3),2) MB
$imageabs2(300,300,,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,4)),,%height%,150,80,D:\#Download2\#Internet\#Radio\#LastFM\LastFM Desktop\cache\*%album artist%*%album%*.jpg,)
Thanks

You can't use hashes (#) in the path. I don't know why, but it causes the images not to display..
I use next formating string for "Group by"
QUOTE
$if($or($strstr(%path%,'Singles'),%discnumber%,$strstr(%cwb_activelist%,Trackinfo Playlist),$strstr(%cwb_activelist%,default)),!noheader!,%directory%)
And when I swich playlists - the "Group by" value saves from previous playlists.
Example:
switch from "default" to "playlist tree", then switch against and "Group by" is %directory%.
I solve this in next way default - playlist tree - Trackinfo playlist - default and "Group by" is !noheader!.
Is it bug and is it possible correct this bug?
is it possible to use multiple lines for tracks? and is there a value to count the number of files that are selected?
what id like to do is create a playlist style that just shows the title and playlist number on each line, unless a single track is selected or playing. then id like it to show some more info like the album on a few lines and some album art.

gob:
There is no way to change the item height based on if the track is a single or not. However you can increase your row height to accommodate two lines of text, use $align() or $alignabs() to position that text, and then use an $if() to determine if a second line of text is displayed an/or what it displays.

I'm having a grouping problem. I use a subtitle tag to hold information like "Music From and Inspired by the Film" and "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack". In this cae I have both sound tracks to the film Crash. %album artist% is "Various Artists" for all tracks.
So far I group by:
CODE
%album%%disc%%edition%%album artist%
and everything works fine but all the tracks from both soundtracks are grouped together. If I add %subtitle% anywhere in the list it gives me
Album 1 Track 1
Album 2 Track 1
Album 1 Track 2
Album 2 Track 2
The sort string that I'm using is:
CODE
$if($strcmp($left(%album artist%,4),The ),$right(%album artist%,$sub($len(%album artist%),4))', 'The,%album artist%) - %date% - %album% - $num(%disc%,2) - $num(%tracknumber%,2)
Any ideas?

No, not possible if you are referring to using 2 different heights. It is possible by using $if(%_isplaying%,[double line functions here],[single line functions here])

I have another feature suggestion... the ability to draw gradients.
example:
$drawgradientrect(x,y,w,h,brush1color-200-200-200 brush2color-255-255-255 pencolor-0-0-0 orientation-v)
gradients would be very handy, yes (already on my mind). and they should support adding alpha values too ...

I'm just looking for a way to set variables across the whole playlist, like Column UI's global variables. and be able to get/set them in the group and item display boxes.
even if values persist through different items, there is no order in which items are evaluated (they are evaluated as needed when displayed).

You could use a similar technique to the album art, but use a modulation of the list index instead of tracknumber.
That would mean it scrolls with the playlist though :/
So we need:
- Exporting/Importing to .fscp files.
- Pandas
- Background image
- Minimum Group sizes.
- $button
terrestrial, i would like to request one (or two) features

please, add the command (assignable to a keyboard shortcut) to toggle "
collapse" of all groups just to group headers. it would auto-expand on doubleclick on any group (and start playback on its first item). you could also add features like auto-exapnd on hover (after given time) etc.
similar feature would be to auto-expand playing group and collapse everything else.
also, it would be nice to have those group-related summary infos and info whether given group has item that is playing or not.
thank you
Any chances to be able to download the 31 October release of the plug in?
I just installed the latest one, and i am hating that it's not possible to open the properties or do something else with a group of items without either the SHIFT or the CTRL key pressed (otherwise the whole selection is lost when right clicking).
Plus even with globals support, i can't get the hotness code to display right. With Column_UI it displays right (range for hotness tops at 100) but under the single column playlist the numbers go up to 25k and the more a song is played the more the number decreases.

Is the path of the track and the path of the cover the same?

if a group was collapsed would songs inside be played? or would the playlist skip over it?

@mazy
great idea!
It is nice that in the new version i can start playback by doubleclick in that playlists that are not the active ones (setted so by context menu). It would be so cool and at least for me a killer feature if clicking or double clicking an item in such playlist wouldn't make them to the active playlist. But i guess it is not so easy to implement
I requested collapsible headers on
page 2.

I vaguely remember Terrestrial commenting on it also. But suffice to say, the idea has been about a while and it seems unlikely that it will be implemented in the near future.
