I have made a plugin that displays the playlist in a single column with "headers", which I find useful for creating a narrower and smaller layout.

Oooo, great idea. =)
It's good idea... But It doesn't work for me.
Please example code...

there were supposed to be some defaults loaded, but I guess not. I've edited the first post with what I use.
It's not working as ever... 
Only shows black line(and blue, red)
And edge style is always "none"...
I'm windows 2000. Does it work with only XP?

did you set the "row height"? maybe restart after that?
Yes, I changed row height, but result was same. line thickness was changed. Restarting is same too.
Sorry to bother you and my poor English.
And Good luck!

Try changing the height to 40, and I'm sure something will pop up.
Edit: And for some odd reason, 16 height doesn't work for me. I had to use 18.

Thanks, I like it. Looks very promising! I also have a feature request: Grouping by multiple fields e.g. first by %artist% and then by %album% which would result in an header for each artist and one for each album.
EDIT: and configurable header height would be great also
EDIT2: Found a bug also:
Shortcuts seem not to work - I have 'P' set as shortcut for Properties when I use it the selection jumps up to the header and that's it. But when I open the properties window manually and close it and then press 'P' instantly it works as expected.

Great Plugin!
Perfect for my new mini foobar setup

Are those album headers tracks?
Some first (negative) impressions:
- The playlist view only allows a single instance, but uses a popup configuration window.
- The aforementionted configuration window is modal.
- Except for the font chooser, the configuration window does not contain any hint about the special functions that are used/required to configure the playlist view.
- The initial defaults after installing the component come up blank here. Changes in row height in this state only took effect after resizing the playlist view.
- The component uses its own custom color code format. It is not possible to use the existing color code generation and manipulation functions provided by foobar2000 itself ($rgb, $hsl, $blend).
- No focus rectangle for the active item. I really don't care, if this can be achieved using some formatting code; I don't want to have to read through the documentation to get something as simple as that.
Great idea, will try it.
I really like the grouping feature.
foosion, I hava a plugin for 0.8x that I think you did, foo_coruscate.
I really liked that one. Hope to see it for 0.9 some day =)

Hi,
Thanks a lot, really good idea
that's very promising.
one little suggestion : when we click on an album header , i think it would be better if it could automatically select the whole album instead of only the first track.

How can I display it? I don't see it anywhere in Columns UI panels.
I am encountering the same problem with the ctrl+p not bringing up preferences.
How can I display it? I don't see it anywhere in Columns UI panels.
It is under playlist views.
Edit: And that is inside the layout tab under Columns UI.
Are those album headers tracks?
No.
To add to foosions feature requests:
1. Being able to change the selection color.
2. Ability to make basically mini columns for the item and group display. Maybe this is possible, but as of now, I don't know how. If that isn't clear, I mean, basically for each thing (like track number, track name, and track length) to have its own static width. I think this might be possible with some regular code formats that one can use in trackinfo (paddng and cut?), but the ablity to possibly create specific boxes (possibly just like the current columns_ui?) would make setting it up far, far easier.
3. Ability to display album art (or any sort of picture) inside the group/item (mainly group) display.
4. "No focus rectangle for the active item. I really don't care, if this can be achieved using some formatting code; I don't want to have to read through the documentation to get something as simple as that." I would also add the ability to change anything, including font, what is displayed, how it is displayed, the works
Sorry, I'm sure you are already working on some (as it is still in beta as you mentioned), if not all, of these, but having a list of requested features should be helpful.
Thanks once again!

For the ones wishing to achieve this for the time being, till something simplier is put in, just use the following code.
I like the drawrect syntax.
Could use it later (or now, havn't messed with it enough to see) to help display when a song is missing a certain tag field, display hotness, rating, etc.
Edit: Er, maybe a bug. When useing that coding I supplied, it leaves the focus rectangle after the song is done or changed to another. Only way to get rid of it (as far as I can tell) is by selecting and then deselecting it.
Edit2:
Something I whipped up real fast.

i really like this plugin, quick try with it:
alternating colors for rows:
btw i have realized that one can specify glow color, glow intensity etc.
terrestrial, thank you for this! i would like you to solve foosion's remarks, $hsl and colors are essential to me + it would be nice if it could handle selection color in the standard way of many foobar's plugins and places.

requests:
- provide us with some group-related info (summary tags) - like number of group items, group length (time), group size (in bytes), group average bitrate etc. maybe even function to test whether given tag varies among group items (like %artist% - for properly detecting variable artists albums). it could be just few of them, or general functions like $group_sum(tag) and $group_varies(tag).
- separate height for group display and item display. if it could change the height from the formatting, that would be great (so we could have more detailed group display when there's additional information available and less detailed when not).
- i'm sure people would like to be able to display album art for example as background under group items or draw rectangle over all of them etc. imho some sort of "group items display" supplementing item and group display would be nice ...
- vertical padding in $padding has to be negative to pad content from the border into the rectangle. that's not consistent with the horizontal padding and coordinates ...

Is there a way to define the color for the background and text of the currently selected item? I know how to do this with $rgb() but not $font(). Though to be honest I think I'd be more happy if I could do something like:
$if(%selected%,$drawrect(0,0,0,0,pencolor-233-233-233),)
To retain whatever colors are already there and just draw a border.
Pretty please, with sugar on top, add the function to middle-mouse click an entry to add it to the playback queue.

The listview limits the size of rows to be the same, but I think I may be able to make the headers occupy 2 (or more) rows.

you can kinda have columns using $alignabs(x,y,width,height,h-align,v-align).

row heights have to all be the same.... but maybe I can hack it where the some lines could occupy 2 or more rows. I like the idea of expanding the height based on formatting though.. for example the height could be tripled for the playing song to display more detailed info, etc...

This is an existing feature with the regular ColumnsUI playlist and I rather miss it. I poked around foobar a bit and found the command "Add to Playback Queue" available for context menus and buttons. Maybe a more elegant solution would be to have this component allow the user to link doubleclick and middle button to any standard foobar event. I believe the original playlist did this for doubleclick. But yes as far as I can tell the whole adding to queue bit is already built into foobar you'd just need to hook the mouse buttons and trigger the existing events.
EDIT: There was some talk about this in the past and it sparked a great deal of interest; would it be possible to doubleclick on the header and collapse/expand all the entries under that header? So you could view a playlsit that contained only a bunch of headers that can be expanded to view their contents?
Keep up the good work, this and your trackinfo_mod really expand the flexibility of the foobar interface.
This isnt specific to this plugin, but can anyone confirm if %isplaying% breaks if the currently playing track also exists in the playback queue? (add a song to the queue more than once then cycle to the first entry) I've notice d the behavior in both this component and the ColumnsUI playlist. Can anyone suggest an alternative way to determine if a track is playing?

formatting for the playlist. the overlay image is here. you would need some fonts used (CubicFive10 and CubicFive12 among with Calibri). row height is 23.
it's just a test. that album / artist split box doesn't handle situations when there's not enough space; there's no selection / focus indication and insufficient playing item indication; i don't use album rating so for testing i just did $rand.

Upon install, with no modification I get something that looks like this:
a restart should fix it. There are still some settings glitches I'm working on.
I'm not very familiar with the modified trackinfo formatting code. I was just wondering if it is possible to specify a background image using tagz. If so, we could integrate album art into the playlist itself, which would be awesome. For example: $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder*

If you would like to place the image at a specific place you can put the x,y coordinates in the first two parameters:
$imageabs(10,5,images\backdrop.png,)
As mentioned before, the images are currently restricted to .png format and if I am not mistaken they must reside relative to the main foobar directory (in the above example x:\path\to\foobar2000\images). Also I do not believe there is currently any way to resize images from their original dimensions.
I havnt played around with images yet but I would suspect you may also be limited to fitting the image inside the current row.
EDIT: I did a little exprimenting and any image is indeed clipped so that it only appears in the current row.

Oh, ok. I just remembered that the group headers need to be the same height as the items, so it wouldnt be really practical anyway (uness, of course he added an option to set the header and item heights independently). Kind of strange that only PNG is supported, also.

If you based the image on tracknumber you could make an image spread across the album. e.g. a shift by y depending on tracknumber
Like this:
CODE
$imageabs(0, $add(25,$mul(-26,%tracknumber%)),images/test.png,)
I put this at the end. Of course at the beginning it would be beneath the songs. 26 is my row height.
Also on this logic, knowing how many items are in a group becomes very helpful - assigning images for first and last group items will allow a custom border for that group. Combine this with a genre specific border (as from the tags) and now we are talking some pretty sweet and functional foobar looks.
Bugs and Feature Requests:
* Different size definition for header - I'd like to include lots more info here
* One annoyance / bug I have found is that whenever I press a normal key the playlist resets its display to the first item.
* There is a redraw bug. I have an auto hide feature, when this is shown the panel shrinks and a scroll bar appears on the right, when the auto hide disappears again the scroll bar goes away but the panel stays in its squished shape until the window is resized.
So basically each row automatically offsets the image so that it's "slice" lines up with all the others based on track number.. that's pretty slick :)
I'm having quite a bit of fun with this plug-in, just as with your track_info_mod plug-in.
However, I'm having a problem. Maybe it's something you haven't implemented, or maybe it's dumb scripting on my part, but I'm trying to make a script that handles albums playlists and singles playlists. For singles playlists, I have an exclamation point (!) precede the playlist name (for example, !Rock), while albums playlists are normally named (for example, Story of the Year).
Here is my code.

It's supposed to display album information for albums playlists, while showing only the playlist name for singles playlists. Any help would be appreciated.

Using FofR's idea for embedding images beyond the row, I played around and came up with some nice borders on the side of my playlist:

Nice idea using the %list_index%, I hadn't thought of that. Some pretty code also
I added these tricks to the wiki.
I added these tricks to the wiki.
I want to add some details about $drawrect to the wiki, should I put it on the trackinfo mod panel page where all the other tags are currently or on the single column playilst page?
I am thining panel page plus link on playlist page. This way tags that work in both only appear once and the playlist page can keep to neat tricks and techniques.
What are the specific attributes of $drawrect?
The first four zeros, do these correspond to pos-x, pos-y, width, height?

Great plugin!
But why don't you allow us to change the order by draging items?
And can you write a function list for us?
Thanks!
