The Track Display transparent background does not seem to update when the content behind it changes. For instance, I am overlaying a Track Display on top of some cover art that changes with each track, but the track display shows the art from the first song only, not changing with each track change.
Now that i have some free time i've been thinking of making a new killer foobar UI. I've been playing with this plugin for a few days now its pretty amazing the things you can do with it. I've run into a few problems though.
1. Right now i have Columns UI to be my main UI which is fine, i'll likely leave it that way because the Playlist Tree doesn't refresh nicely inside a Panels UI panel. however, if i set Panels UI to be my main UI, the buttons are not visible. sometimes they will still work if i click them but they seem quirky..
2. When you draw panels inside a panel and take up all the width and height of the container panel, is it possible to edit it?
3. Is it possible to set line spacing to a negative value like in the old track info panel?
4. Is it possible to align text buttons like regular text?
I've had some fun with it today, i modded some WMP11 style buttons which i posted here. I also made a neat little text style button to cycle through different playback orders.

I have two short questions about panels and pvars.
1. Is it possible to open a 'Track Display' within another 'Track Display'? I tried to make my pui modular but it's not functional.
2. Is there a difference between a pvar set by a button with 'pvar:set:x:y' and simply $setpvar(x,y)? When I try this in a 'Track Display' the button set pvar is valid in the main window and other panels but not the pvar set by $setpvar(x,y). However, a pvar set by $setpvar(x,y) in the main window is valid in all panels.

I'm getting some horrible CPU spikes when the now playing track is being shown in a transparent SCPL item, this happens even when I remove the dynamic elements such as the progress bar / time remaining. Im commenting all of my "%isplaying% code out as well but that doesn't seem to help.
EDIT: I put a big $if(%isplaying%,,CODE) around everything so nothing would show on a playing item, I still got the horrendous CPU spikes.
When I use an SCPL with a larger row size and fewer items per page, the CPU usage is at a lower percentage.
I can confirm it gets gradually worse the more and more items appear on the page, but only when there is a now playing element showing.

it's not meant to update for performance reasons... the background will just be a static copy from when the panel was first drawn.

you're image paths are probably wrong. If you're using columns ui then the base path is the main \PanelsUI subfolder, I believe.

pvars set by a button will trigger a refresh of all the other track displays using that pvar, but other than that there should be no difference. What you're seeing is probably because if you have two track displays with one using $setpvar and the other using $getpvar, there is no defined order as to which gets executed first (unless its a parent track display and a child track display). eg. track display with $getpvar could be drawn before the other one.

By the way i think there should be a place when we could put feature requests and where you could refuse them and let us know you refused them. I think this could be great because i made some feature requests taht in my opinion could be good, yet i don't know if you saw them and i don't want to ask them again and put any kind of pressure on you. I know what a great job you do and i want to respect you for that. And yet i want this project to grow more and i think users feature requests are good for that.

Any chance of being able to trigger a per-track change? I really want to overlay some lyrics on cover art. And my new design (http://host.trivialbeing.org/up/foobar-jun...obalbackgro.gif) has a lot of features that would depend on this feature.
Thanks for the info, i can't believe i missed the configuration button in the Columns UI, can easily edit a covered Panel now 
I'm not worried about line spacing now, it would be redundant since there are the $align options. however i would like my "$button2()" text buttons to be aligned with $align(Left,Middle) but i can't seem to get it to work.
Is there an efficient way to truncate text?

$button2 is incredibly frustrating to incorporate into existing text. It'd be great if a button could be created that aligned itself based on the text alignment and the text around it, with width and height defined by the length and height of the text in the button automatically.
$align(left,middle)
Click $button3(this,SET:PVAR:example:0) button
Something as simple as that to implement would make things a lot simpler.

This is odd.
I have a pop-up window where I use $panel to invoke foo_uie_tabs. One of the uie tabbed panels is Track Display. Now, inside that Track Display I again use $panel to invoke whatever panel I want to display, but it doesn't work, rather it says [UNKNOWN FUNCTION].
I am pretty sure I haven't made any syntax errors:
Is the $panel function not compatible with foo_uie_tabs or am I doing something wrong?

foo_uie_tabs is more or less incompatable with foo_ui_panels
More specifically, foo_uie_tabs was a kind of splitter for columns_ui. (as opposed to a panel)
Panels_ui doesn't have splitters (obviously) so they can't function together.
You can however, create your own tabs with panels_ui's buttons and pvars

You're absolutely right, I could make tabs using foo_ui_panels. I just thought using foo_uie_tabs would be much easier in regards to adding/removing tabs on-the-fly for the new Tagging Window "component."
Basically I just wanted to give the contents of each tab from foo_uie_tab a border, and I was trying to do it by invoking panels/drawrect inside each tab. I realise now all I had to do was invoke a panel/drawrect outside of, and after the invocation of foo_uie_tab.
But thanks for the info regarding foo_uie_tab's incompatibility with foo_ui_panels because I did not know that. I'll make a note of that incompatibility in the Wiki.

there isn't a %groupedcount%... there's a %_itemcount% (number of tracks in node) and a %childcount% number of child nodes).
There is a %groupedcount%, it's used in Preferences-->Display-->Panels UI-->Sort/Group, in the "Single Column Playlist Selector" pane.
What is it?
%groupedcount% is the number of grouping criteria being used.
right-click on SCPL-> Sort/Group by-> Edit
The number of check marks in the Group column is returned by %groupedcount%

An option to enable and disable SCPL transparency via a button would be great. I have a button that turns on/off transparency in my layout and the only thing I cannot change with it is the slow down in SCPL scrolling when transparency is enabled.
i found absolutly no way to open tray context menu... any idea what can be wrong?

Does this return 101 for you? It did not for me, because my %_width% is something else. so I replace that third line with

@Yotsuya
thanks for the help
i called upon the code outside of the $button2() command, using both %_width% and 750, i did this both inside the track display panel where the buttons are located as well as a seperate test panel, every instance yielded a value of 101 --this was expected
so i kept breaking down the code all the way to the point of this:
$puts(button width,105) --directly setting the button width variable
so the only calculation would look like this
$eval($get(button width)-4) --> 105-4 = 101
calling upon this code outside of the $button2() command yields 101 --as expected
however inside the button2() command --nada, the rectangle just doesn't draw, but if i simply type 101 --bingo, there it is
i don't get it

If I remember correctly, $button2() code parameters work inside there own little memory space. So if you $puts() something outside of the $button2() you can not $get() it from within the $button2(). Try using $setpvar()/$getpvar() instead of $puts()/$gets() and that should work. I think this is the only way to transport variables from outside a button's code to inside a button's code. You can confirm this by adding a $puts(button width,x) line inside the button code:i don't get it

what i've learned;
-$setpvar()/$getpvar() works
-setting a variable with $puts() elsewhere and calling it inside a $button2() command works --as long as the call does not come from inside the $buton2() quotes ('')
-setting a variable with $puts() inside the quotes of $button2() and calling it further down works --as long as the call occurs within the quotes as well
-$puts() set within the quotes cannot be called upon outside of the quotes
perhaps someone can validate this and add it to the wiki, maybe save someone the headache

When I browse my music collection (librabry) with PanelsUi installed (basic.pui and dark.pui tried) I can select items and all, but the playlist doesn't get updated. I have to right-click on an item and send it to the playlist manually...
am I missing some settings or is this just not possible with PanelsUI???
Thanks!

The library filter doesn't have the same functionality as album list right now, hopefully terrestrial will add customizable clicking functions to it in the future.

Just a quick question is it possible to use toolbars within a window:
"Missing panel: Quick Search Toolbar"
On a side note is there anywhere information available on how to improve efficiency and speed in panels_ui?
CODE
$panel(Search,Quick Search Toolbar,5,5,200,300,)
but all I get is "Missing panel: Quick Search Toolbar"

Yes, you can use toolbars in PanelsUI but I do not know what you mean by "within a window". I use it myself in my own layout and am surprised your code did not work. Are you sure you have the Quick Search Toolbar loaded?
File> Preferences> Components
Do you see foo_uie_quicksearch listed as a component?
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> "Layout" Tab
If you right click a splitter in your ColumnsUI layout and choose to insert a panel, do you see "Quick Search Toolbar" as an available Toolbar?

I believe you have to use "$panel(Toolbar,..." rather than "$panel(Search,...".
In general, in the layout window, click the "Panels" button towards the upper left corner, and look up the desired panel from the dropdown list. They will look like "Catagory / Panel Name". The panel command should then look like "$panel(Catagory,Panel Name,...".
REQUEST:
I've got a request for multi-dimensional variables. I've tried the following without success:
The reason is obvious: $select is executed before $get and finds only one item. If there is another solution to this problem, please let me know.
With multi-dimensional variables this would be easy, e.g.:
Maybe others could find this useful, too.
And thank you for your support with all the questions I had last week. Finally I found my mistake (a pvar needed initialization) and now I see all panels.

Just throwing an idea out here that I had. A new function for popping up context menus. It would be used in a button as such...
$button(DstX,DstY,X,Y,W,H,TEXT,HOVER TEXT,$context(text,command,text,command),OPTIONS)
So let's say you wanted to make a context menu to mimic this one in WMP11.
$button(DstX,DstY,X,Y,W,H,IMAGE,HOVER IMAGE,$context(Format,COMMAND,Bit Rate,COMMAND,Rip CD Automatically When Inserted,COMMAND,Eject CD After Ripping,COMMAND,More Options...,COMMAND,Help With Ripping,COMMAND),OPTIONS)
A $context specific parameter could be $separator for adding horizontal separators. Example... $context(Format,COMMAND,Bit Rate,COMMAND,$separator)
$button(DstX,DstY,X,Y,W,H,TEXT,HOVER TEXT,$context(text,command,text,command),OPTIONS)

None of the playlist info functions work in a ui panel, with the exception of %isplaying%.
Sorry if that has been brought up before, but a search yielded nothing of the sort.

I want to use my desktop background picture as a background pic in foobar, so everything is overlayed on top of it. That part is easy enough, but I use Wallpaper Master to change my picture every so often.
Is it possible to get PanelsUI to recognise when the wallpaper has changed and update the background picture? I tried moving the $imageabs2 command into '// PerTrack' but that didn't work.

No Not possible, images are loaded once on layout load i think and are not reloaded after even if the layour is redrawn. Your only chance is to be under Vista and to use the transparency feature of PanelsUI.

yep, great idea, hope it will be done a day
I found a bug on Vista when using $glass for the entire window:
All black text and $drawrect boxes are completely transparent, the background of the items in the library filter panel are actually 150-150-150, but show up white.

By the way i think there should be a place when we could put feature requests and where you could refuse them and let us know you refused them. I think this could be great because i made some feature requests taht in my opinion could be good, yet i don't know if you saw them and i don't want to ask them again and put any kind of pressure on you. I know what a great job you do and i want to respect you for that. And yet i want this project to grow more and i think users feature requests are good for that.
I think a wiki page might be useful. If you (or someone else) want's to start one, I will try to categorize feature requests.

Any chance of being able to trigger a per-track change? I really want to overlay some lyrics on cover art. And my new design (http://host.trivialbeing.org/up/foobar-jun...obalbackgro.gif) has a lot of features that would depend on this feature.
yes, I'll try to add an option for the next version.
QUOTE(FofR @ Jun 6 2007, 11:21)
$button2 is incredibly frustrating to incorporate into existing text. It'd be great if a button could be created that aligned itself based on the text alignment and the text around it, with width and height defined by the length and height of the text in the button automatically.
the $button code get processed separately from the text code (such as $font) so this isn't really technically possible at the moment. I have been meaning to rewrite the text code to be more flexible, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Hi Terrestrial. I trying to make a Last Modified category in the Library Filter so I can see the files that were added/modified last. This is pretty cool, though it would be even better if there was a way to reverse the sorting, and perhaps even limit results to x lines.
the sorting within library filter goes according to what's displayed (so you could do something like 12-month to get reverse sorting). when tracks are sent to the playlist they use the current sort/group criteria.

the first arguement can be any "id" that you choose... you can use the same id again if you want to move or resize the panel, or a new id to create a new instance of the panel.

no, the $get is execute before the $select. the problem is that abc is treated as a single string (not multiple strings separated by a comma).

for playlist name try %playlistname% (I actually didn't know about the other one, or I would have used the same name....)
%isplaylist% and %ispaused% should work. %list_index% and %list_total% only work in scpl as that's the only one that works with lists of songs.

on glass the "whiter" the color the more opaque, and the "darker" the color, the more transparent (for text and $drawrect). you can use images if you want better handling of colors.
hey terrestrial, is there anyway of scrolling and/or truncating text?
QUOTE(gob @ Jun 11 2007, 19:06)

You can truncate text with this code:
$ifgreater($len(%title%),35,$left(%title%,32)...,$if(%title%,%title%,'['No Title']'))
That truncates the %title% tag to 32 characters long and appends "..." to the end if the tag is LONGER than 35 characters long. Not sure if the entire thing is needed, but it should be a start?
