i am noticing this also.

I'm having problems understanding how to use CONTEXT-SELECTED. I made some buttons in the main panelsUI layout, outside the SCPL. With one of them I want to to run tag& rename. Problem is: it takes as parameter the playing file instead of the selected file(in the SCPL). This doesn't happen if I press the Hotkey I created for the Tag & rename service.

The button code is like this


Is this not possible?

ouf!!, i'm not the only one having this problem ...

please Terrestiral, could you fix this bugg ... screen flashing and refresh pics latency on tracks display ?

Yeah that the pic latency is annoying -.- (though no screen flashing here)

I pretty much understand all the panels functions but the SCPL layout selector cracks me up. What I want to do is the following:

I want to have two SCPL layouts (One displaying just Singles without headers and one for Albums with headers (art etc.))
And I want to change between them through buttons (pvar or whatever ^^)

Any tips how to accomplish that? I tried some things but never worked the way I wanted!

can't download (404 error)

/signa folder and onwards do not exist on http://users.bowie-cass.com/

download's broken...

hi can someone reup it with the library.pp file, please

thx

anyone care to reupload this?

Terrestrial: would it be possible to have the playlist menu from SCPL as a button, like MENU ?

That would be awesome

can someone upload this to like rapidshare or megaupload... it'd only take like 2 minutes of your time

so, i uploaded the file from my plugin folder, hope, it work and i didn't made any settings, that doenst work under the normal foobar-installation, but it should work =)

Thanks mundschuss, but your version is 0.13.1. There is a version 0.13.3 mentioned in the forum. anyone has it and can upload it?

Thanks! now if i only i could find trackinfo_mod and scpl so i could use some of the other skins that don't use panel ui....

I'm almost 100% sure that terrestrial said that he doesn't want anyone else uploading his compontent(s).

where are we supposed to get them? his site for downloads is down...

Afair, he asked not to freely distribute older versions.

I have 0.13.3, but the latest one is 0.13.4. So that's up to someone else.

so, heres a question:
how to: i wanna make the average of an grup (e.g. average bitrate of a group(columns-groups)/album) and that he add all song lenghts wwhich are in the columnsgroup (for albumlenght)

is this possible? would be very nice =)


seeya

Here's 0.13.4, just the component, no readme or library.pp, because I didn't have them saved.

-- link removed -- you'll find the latest version here instead.

(will remove the download link as soon as the site is back up...)

Finally! Someone who actually does something instead of whining about how wrong it would be.
Thanks you. Hope it'll be worth the 24 hour wait.

Terrestrial: is there a way from a popup window to set the size of the main window?

I've changed ISPs so the old download links won't work. I've uploaded the new version here (check the first post), as my new ISP doesn't have web space

updated to 0.13.5
started up foobar and all fonts look smaller
checked my code, fonts still set the same as before
does this version handle fonts diff? maybe in relation to the windows dpi settings?

*edit*
a $calcheight() on a 12 pt. font yields an 18, it was previously 23

good! thanks for the update!

Thanx a lot for update !! there is no more flashing pics on track display panel and no more latency when refreshing the Track display pics on changing track !

(thanx too for having resolved the pb on PVAR storing on POPUPs! )

Great job !

Br3tt

PS: no font size pb for me with this new release.

$if(%date%
,%date%|%discogs_release_month%|%album%
,##NODATE##|%album%)

is it me or is something like this not possible in the library filter??
I tried and tried but I'm always getting "?" until I'm at the 3 child.

example

##NODATE##
?
album
2007
2
album

I want the album child directly after ##NODATE##
how do I do this??

thanks in advance

There is a bug since the first version I used, but didn't see to be reported. Whe you right-click on the trayicon the menu doesn't appear on the trayicon. Screenshot:

Is there a built-in way to draw gradients in panels ui? Such as a rectangle filled with a gradient instead of a solid color, for instance? I don't think there is, but I wanted to check.

Nope

...you can always use a transparent .png

I'm creating a layout in Panels, but I'd like to know how I can create a button that pops up the main menu (what the newest version of FofR does). I already have the button, but I just need to know the command.

The other thing I'd like to do at the moment is have album art in the item list of SCPL (next to the tracks). Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks! I'm *almost* there.

the command is MENU

That did it, thanks!

Just wanted to say this plugin is the best!
PanelsUI has converted me from a somewhat begrudging Foobar user, to an enthusiast.
Thanks to terrestrial for all the time, support, and development.

Terrestrial: is there a way as there is with SYSCOL to get a system used font?

EDIT : The last build is really cool, Thanks

I can't get the last 2 parameters to do anything, do they work?

I tried LEFT,RIGHT,TOP,BOTTOM and numbers but the window never moved.

It works when you have 2 of them. For example:

$setpvar(minimode,WINDOWSIZE:$eval(350):$eval(500):LEFT:BOTTOM)
$setpvar(fullview,WINDOWSIZE:$eval(1149):$eval(779):LEFT:BOTTOM)

when the pvar "minimode" is activated it will resize the window to the bottom left. (bottom left corner will stay on its place)

when the pvar "fullview" is selected it will resize the window to the top right (bottom left corner will stay on its place again)

if you change it to:
$setpvar(minimode,WINDOWSIZE:$eval(350):$eval(500):LEFT:BOTTOM)
$setpvar(fullview,WINDOWSIZE:$eval(1149):$eval(779):RIGHT:TOP)

when the pvar "minimode" is activated it will resize the window to the bottom left. (bottom left corner will stay on its place)

but when the pvar "fullview" is selected it will resize the window to the bottom left (top right corner of "minimode" will stay on its place)

I hope it's clear

Yes it is, thanks.

I havn't read through this whole thread (its way too long) but im wondering how can i do so that when i click the minimize icon it goes to systray instead of just minimizing like normal?

^^ It's in the preferences menu.

I still do NOT have this tray menu. When I right click on icon, I have nothing... Maybe it's because I use Litestep...
Is there something special to do in order to have this menu ?

I can confirm the problem reported by Gregory of all font sizes rendered too small with 0.13.5 (xp sp2).

The problem occurs at a windows dpi setting of large (120dpi) - panels ui 0.13.5 renders fonts smaller than those rendered, for example, by Word or earlier versions of panels ui.

At a windows dpi setting of normal (96dpi) fonts rendered by panels ui 0.13.5, Word and earlier versions of panels ui are of the same size.

Thank you for your continued development of this great plug-in.

I found something strange in the last buid that might be related to what pointed out WilB and Gregory. I used one of my conf on another computer. On that computer i dont have the font used in my skin and there is what i see

in the two circles the code is the same as we can see in the Track display clear type seams activated while it doesnt seem to be in the SCPL

EDIT: Terrestrial, in Track displays it seems that we cant $get a variable in //Per Second that was set in the //Per track. It oblige duplicated code in //Per Track and //Per Second. Do you see a way to deal with this?

pvars

Damn, why didnt i think about that .... Thanks shakey_snake

Im having trouble getting my SCPL to be transparent. It has a background colour set via the "..." background colour button in the editor box which I can find no way of removing.

EDIT: I am a douche and missed that checkbox.

Anyone thought of a clever way of making reflected album art fade out to transparency not a fixed colour? It seems impossible to get the reflection to merge with the background irrespective of the background image/colour.

Yeah, I do it all the time.

Just edit a piece of the background in photoshop and make it fade with a layer mask and gradient.

Mmm but that doesn't work if the background or reflected image size isn't fixed.

I found some strange behavior when making also the headers transparent(no drawrect) the background is a bit
distorted where Headers should be.

Is this a bug?

Panels transparent has many bugs!
Every panel's transparent area just display the "//backgroud" images.

I would be cool if someone could make a spectrum analyser (equal to the integrated) with transparancy ability (or if it's already possible - how?)
