QUOTE(terrestrial @ Mar 27 2007, 23:31)

its just building a sort / grouping string. I'll do the "Artist / Date ......

Ok, I got that I think.

Two more then -

1. What exactly does the 'Group by sort' checkbox do? And if it does what I think, does it take the Primary or Secondary sort?
2. When is the 'Secondary Sort' applied? Only if it's the last sort by criteria in the order?

And I'll agree, this is a challenge to wrap your head around. I can see that it will be very flexible, especially being able to choose differenct layouts. This would eliminate some logic code in SCPL and simplify things for different layouts (singles, albums, etc), especially if you can assign specific sorting presets to different playlists and SCPL panels.

EDIT:
Bug (maybe) - I cannot delete a layout under right-click -> settings (button does nothing). I can create a layout however, without a problem.
Request - ability to rename a layout (I suppose this isn't necessary once we can delete layouts, ie create new and delete the old)

The new version is a noticeable improvement. Configurations are now saved across restarts. After a little tweaking of the sort strings I got my old sorting style back. The check boxes now appear in the Sort/Group By dialog (as pictured above) however I think there is room for improvement with the interface. The headers are gone so the user has to guess what the checkboxes mean. The left/right clicks work as you described in your previous post however I would think it more intuitive just to be able to left click to check each box instead of the left click for both boxes and right click for sort box. Also, the little numbers between the boxes appear to indicate the precedance of the grouping/sorting, is there a way to reorder these without clearing the boxes and starting over?

As for the crashing, foobar continues to crash often when loading the main configuration dialog. I do not believe I am using any raw unicode characters in my configuration and have drawn flack in some other threads for my overuse of $char(). However, I do run my systems under the Japanese codepage 932 instead of the US codepage 437.

Is !noheader! still functional? I tried using it in the group by page for each of the criteria I am grouping by but it does not appear to have an effect.

EDIT: What is the proper procedure for modifying an existing preset? I can select an existing preset in "Sort/Group By" dialog and it will display the current settings, I can change those settings, but when I go to [Save] I am prompted for a new preset name. If I type in the old preset name it creates a second preset with that same name.

Wow. I will have to play with it a bit, but it looks really powerful. Nice work!

Is there any way to group by disc number as well? Some of my albums have different cover art for different discs and I like having group headers for each.

Probably my last try on this...might as well give it one more bump on the new page:

QUOTE(D3WEY @ Mar 21 2007, 09:33)

Does anyone know why, ever since switching to Panels UI, my drag'n'dropped playlist items always move to the bottom of the playlist? In ColumnsUI, there was an option to have dropped items insert wherever you dropped them. That option, while still set the way it was, obviously doesn't function since i'm using Panels UI. Thanks for any help you can provide

jclim00:
File> Preferences> Display> Panels UI> Sort/Group

- Click [New]
- Enter a name in the Name: box, i.e. "Disc Number"
- Group by sort and [Primary Sort] should already be selected
- Enter this into the text box (I am using track numer to determine album vs. single):

CODE

$if(%tracknumber%,%discnumber%,!single)

- Click [OK], [Save All], [Close]

- Right-Click your playlist
- Select "Sort/Group By>" then "Edit" from the pop-up menu
- Left-Click on the criteria you named earlier, i.e. "Disc Number", to sort and group by that criteria
- [OK] and you should be done.

NOTE: You may want to uncheck all the boxes in the Sort/Group By dialog and recheck each field in the order you want the playlist sorted. You'll probably want Disc Number to be sorted right after Album.

Has anyone figured out how to switch layouts in scpl?
I tried making some buttons like this:

CODE

$button2($sub(%_width%,42),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,X,x,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:0,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,28),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Y,y,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:1,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,14),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Z,z,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:2,)

And set my layout selector code to this:

CODE

$select($add($getpvar(playlist.mode),1),
$scplsetlayout(Album)
,
$scplsetlayout(Singles)
,
$scplsetlayout(Radio)
)

But it does not switch when I click the buttons. I can confirm the buttons are setting the pvars as they change with $getpvar(playlist.mode) in a Track Display panel. I tried manually changing the layout from the SCPL configuration dialog but could not figure out how.

I also tried using he $scplsetlayout() as the button command but that does not appear to work either. Also, when it comes to the different layouts the delete button does not appear to work and I cannot find a way to rename an existing layout.

All these new toys to play with :)

$rand() makes for a very nice way to randomize your playlist using the sort system

I upgrade panels from 0.8.1 to 0.9.

With version 0.8 I use single column playlist in dockable panel and it is ok.

Now I have have permanent crash when start foobar2000. Thus I delete SCP from dockable panel then create new one and in it define SCP again.

This is result of my experience:

Latest one does not work here. At first foobar says that the modeule is missing (the typical question wether I want to keep the configuration), then it complains that it cannot load the component. Missing dependency. W2K here.

QUOTE(Yotsuya @ Mar 28 2007, 18:29)

Has anyone figured out how to switch layouts in scpl?
I tried making some buttons like this:

CODE

$button2($sub(%_width%,42),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,X,x,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:0,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,28),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Y,y,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:1,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,14),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Z,z,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:2,)

And set my layout selector code to this:

CODE

$select($add($getpvar(playlist.mode),1),
$scplsetlayout(Album)
,
$scplsetlayout(Singles)
,
$scplsetlayout(Radio)
)

But it does not switch when I click the buttons. I can confirm the buttons are setting the pvars as they change with $getpvar(playlist.mode) in a Track Display panel. I tried manually changing the layout from the SCPL configuration dialog but could not figure out how.

I also tried using he $scplsetlayout() as the button command but that does not appear to work either. Also, when it comes to the different layouts the delete button does not appear to work and I cannot find a way to rename an existing layout.

All these new toys to play with

I may be wrong but from my playing with it:

It seems to me that the SCP layout selector code only runs after the SCP is redrawn either by using the "sort/group by" option or by sending/adding etc. to the playlist (changing playlist contents?).

The layout name in the SCPL configuration dialog chooses which layout you are editting.

The "sort/group by" option chooses which sort and grouping to use and then SCP layout selector code is run to determine SCP layout to apply (layout names are case sensitive!). The value of the variables at the time the SCP layout selector code is run determines which layout is used. Changes to the variables have no effect until the SCP is changed again by "sort/group by" or by changing the SCP contents.

To get layouts changing more dynamically the SCP layout selector code would have to be run more often (Per Track or Per Second?)

I'm not sure whether it is really is working as it seems to me; whether it is meant to work like this or whether it should be updating more often! I'm sure we'll find out in the next few days!

Im looking forward to playing with it some more, tomorrow.

0.9.1 beta is certainly interesting.
I've long thought that grouping and sorting should be related somehow.

I'm interested to know where this new sort info stuff is stored. (.pui? .cfg?)
As well as what this means to the SORT: and FILTER: button commands (if anything)

Is there any button command that will force a refresh of SCPL? If there was, we could stack this with any other button that tries to update the layout.

I still haven't fully fixed the button transparency problem with my buttons. I am currently using a workaround by placing a duplicate of the buttons in the background using imageabs2, but that is not an ideal solution and I am not entirely sure it will work properly. Somehow the background shows through the button transparency even though the buttons do not, although I have not gotten that to work perfectly, either.

It does not seem to be a problem with my computer, since I tried it on another computer with no luck. Both have windows XP. It does not seem to be a problem with the PNG, since I tried other PNG's (including foobar buttons) and the results were the same. I have the latest versions of both libpng and zlib, not that I think those will make a difference. I have tired eliminating all components besides panels ui and that did not help. I tried various changes to the image, including re-saving them using different software. I can find no difference between my PNG's and other transparent 24-bit PNG's (not that they work, either).

I can only think of three possible reasons. One is that both computers have the same software causing trouble. But I don't know what that would be, and they don't have much software in common. The second is that it is a problem with windows XP, but a lot of other people have XP and don't seem to have this problem. The third is that it lies somewhere in my code, but I am not sure where. So I will just post the entire config (it is not very long, still in early stages). I can tell you that none these worked: changing the redraw type, reordering the buttons, deleting everything but the buttons, changing the clickable area (even eliminating it), deleting the "if" test for the play buttons, and changing or eliminating the options on the buttons. I am pretty much stuck at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot continue with the config unless I have transparency working in the buttons.

to be honest: I don't like the new system, mainly because without !noheader! feature search playlists and single song playlists aren't very nice. I also prefer written code over user interfaces. But it's a nice feature for beginners, I guess.

If the playlist is active you can use the utils menu command to "Send to playlist..." and choose the same playlist name.

Not sure how to get it as a button command - there is a component which gives separate menu commands with the appropriate playlist name on them which you may be able to refer to as a button command.

Easy to get the playlist name:

%cwb_activelist% - active playlist name
%cwb_playinglist% - playing playlist name

EDIT

Foo_utils "Edit other/Send to playlist/1 - Browser" type commands are only accessible from the buttons customise menu (i.e. for the foobar buttons bar). They do not appear in the commands in the drop-down in the panels-ui.

Feature request:

Any chance of having customisable actions in SCP like those provided by the Album List or Browser components? They allow you to choose the command to be carried out on double-click, middle click etc.

Would give even more flexibility!

Yotsuya

Mar 28 2007, 22:14

To those having trouble with the !noheader! I was able to make it work here is some more detail:

In order for !noheader! to work, your Group By code must resolve to !noheader! and nothing else. If you group by more than one criteria, your group by code becomes the combination of all the criteria so make sure you uncheck the "Group By Sort" box on each of the criteria you group by and make sure only one of them resolves to !noheader!

If more than one criteria resolves to !noheader!, your Group By code would be !noheader!!noheader! and does not work.
If you do not clear the Group By Sort box, your group by code will include the sort code from your criteria and does not work.

Smitty2k1: You can sort and group by directory structure if you create custom criteria based off $directory(%path%,n) where n is the level of the directory structure you want to process.

Terrestrial: I experimented around with a util called applocale by microsoft to force foobar to run in different locales. Foobar does not crash under the normal US English but it crashes in many other locales including Japanese which is my system default. So the good news is that I can force foobar to run as US English when I need to do editing but would it be possible to fix compatibility in the editor (Did you call it scintilla?) to work under any locale?

Smitty, you can change these to whatever you want by going to:

I tried making a workaround by putting a foobar buttons bar behind my custom buttons panel, but it didn't work so well

. If Terrestrial does indeed add this functionality, it'd be rad

-Nate

In the meantime you can install foo_run and foo_runcmd. Create a foo_run service that uses the foo_runcmd syntax. foo_runcmd can access those commands just fine (I use it so send albums to foobar after being processed with REACT2). Then in your button code execute the foo_run service by name.

Like the new system, going to take a short while adapting my layout to it though.
Can you apply this sorting using a $button command?

Bug: When I open the sort/group by edit box, the little one, when I click a check box both boxes check themselves. When I uncheck... both uncheck. I also cannot see the G and S titles for the checkbox columns.

EDIT: Right click adds one box left click adds both? That was in no way intuitive. Is there a way to group by but not sort by?

Bug 2: Cannot seem to delete an empty SCPL, does it delete on fb2k close?

Bug 3: For auto playlists when sorting cannot be changed the sort by dialogue should be greyed out or give a warning.

Are the Sort/Group by settings stored in the PUI? Im going to assume yes.

In the group header box is it possible to do something like $if($grouped(album),this code, that code) I often only want to change the header, not the code.

On the setlayout code section for $isgrouped() it'd be nice to have some way of choosing between when grouped solely by album and grouped by album AND something else, so, something like $onlygroupedby(). As far as I can see you can have OR and AND commands so multiple groupings are fine, just not solitary ones. Another approach would be $and($isgrouped(album),$secondarygroup(none)). At the moment you'd have to NOT all the other "group by" options to achieve this result.

I've just worked out that when buttons are stacked processing stops when a main menu or context menu command is executed.

I'm curious as to whether this is by design or because of a technical constraint?

What I want a button which

activates a playlist
selects all
runs replaygain as album
highlights playing

No problem with getting each command to run separately but how to do it them all?

Guys,

I'm relatively novice at this, these might be stupid questions, but I can't find the answers in the wiki or this forum, so...

1) I want to replace the titlebar in foobar. I've hidden the default one and have created a new panel

CODE

$panel(pnlTitlebar,Single Column Playlist,0,200,%_width%,26,)

I couldn't figure out which type of panel to use so I used a SCPL? It worked and I've put images and buttons on the panel... but was there an easier way to replace the titlebar or re-image the titlebar?

2) I have a 5x26pixel image that I want to stretch over the width of the screen. I've used the following code inside the subpanel:

CODE

$imageabs2(%_width%,26,0,0,%_width%,26,-200,0,/images\waz_titlebar.png,NOKEEPASPECT ALPHA-255)

but it doesn't work! Even with alpha set to 255, the left and right edges of the image fade

So as a temporary fix, I've used the following code:

CODE

$imageabs2($eval(%_width%+400),26,0,0,$eval(%_width%+400),26,-200,0,/images\waz_titlebar.png,NOKEEPASPECT)

But it's messy and surely there is a better way?

Thanks,
Rukh

@Rukh:
1 - If you want to create your own titlebar, don't use a panel.
Just write the code in the main layout (this way you can move the window).

2 - Try this code:
$imageabs2($eval(%_width%+400),26,,,,,-200,0,/images\waz_titlebar.png,NOKEEPASPECT)

1 - I've put it back in the main layout. Thanks for the tip.

2 - I still have a problem with transparency, or opaque-ness. My titlebar, which is a uniform colour, 5 pixels wide stretched across the screen is darker at the edges?? It is very obvious because I've pasted a box of the same colour over the top of it to check... even extending the image 200 pixels past the edge of the screen does not solve the problem.

How do I stop this auto-opaque-ness?? Alpha 255 does not work.

Hi,

I'm using your wonderful plugin now, but one thing bothers me.
I have a global shortcut mapped to activate or hide the foobar window but with your plugin it does'nt work that great. At first it worked but now it won't activate anymore i.e it's hidden. On top of that it flickers and steals focus sometimes (but not showing the window).

Can you take a look at this? I'm using the latest (0.91 beta) version and I'm on XP SP2

Could/should all SCP layouts be available to all SCP panels (I have 2 SCPs in my config: one as a browser; one as a "Now Playing", it would be good to be able to use the same layouts in both)?

the layouts are stored per panel, so they won't be available to both (so you can have different designs for the two).

QUOTE

The selected "sort/group by" type seems to stick to the SCP until changed- if so, maybe it should be ticked (like the playlist name the SCP displays).

added.

QUOTE

How can you tell what the first sort key field is? $isgrouped() seems to be true if the field (should that be criteria name?) is anywhere in the sorting/grouping sequence)

I've added a $sortidx() functions. for grouping the order doesn't matter.

QUOTE

How about sorting the "sort/group by" entries so they are listed in the order selected (as well as/ instead of the numerical subscripts). Maybe with up/down buttons? Might be easier to use?

I think that might be a bit harder to use, as when you click something the order will change (which means if you click again, you will hit a different item)

QUOTE

How about giving %_rowheight% and %_norows% as variables we can use in SCP (similar to %_width% or %_height% in panels_UI)!

%_height% will return the rowheight in scpl.

QUOTE(wraithdu @ Mar 27 2007, 22:49)

1. What exactly does the 'Group by sort' checkbox do? And if it does what I think, does it take the Primary or Secondary sort?

with it checked it will group by the primary sort field. without it will group by what's in the "Group by" box.

QUOTE

2. When is the 'Secondary Sort' applied? Only if it's the last sort by criteria in the order?

yep.

QUOTE

This would eliminate some logic code in SCPL and simplify things for different layouts (singles, albums, etc), especially if you can assign specific sorting presets to different playlists and SCPL panels.

with the new $playlistname() function it should be easier to automatically switch layouts based on playlist.

QUOTE

Bug (maybe) - I cannot delete a layout under right-click -> settings (button does nothing). I can create a layout however, without a problem.

fixed.

QUOTE(Yotsuya @ Mar 27 2007, 23:02)

The left/right clicks work as you described in your previous post however I would think it more intuitive just to be able to left click to check each box instead of the left click for both boxes and right click for sort box.

left/click right click saves a few clicks and is faster once you get the hang of it. I will eventually remove the "group by" check box as it is a bit misleading and have another way to indicate "group by" (maybe a dash or something above/below the sort index).

QUOTE

Also, the little numbers between the boxes appear to indicate the precedance of the grouping/sorting, is there a way to reorder these without clearing the boxes and starting over?

nope, just remember the old order and start over

QUOTE

As for the crashing, foobar continues to crash often when loading the main configuration dialog. I do not believe I am using any raw unicode characters in my configuration and have drawn flack in some other threads for my overuse of $char(). However, I do run my systems under the Japanese codepage 932 instead of the US codepage 437.

yeah, its something to do with codepages and unicode / utf8 conversion. it's crashing within scintialla, who's code I'm not familiar with so I'm not quite sure what's going on. I tried changing the codepage on my system to see if I could reproduce the crash but then vista refused to boot, which meant I had to reinstall

does bringing up the scpl layout box ever cause a crash, or is it only the main panels ui settings dialog (the one with the formatting string).

QUOTE

EDIT: What is the proper procedure for modifying an existing preset? I can select an existing preset in "Sort/Group By" dialog and it will display the current settings, I can change those settings, but when I go to [Save] I am prompted for a new preset name. If I type in the old preset name it creates a second preset with that same name.

fixed.

QUOTE(D3WEY @ Mar 27 2007, 23:41)

QUOTE(D3WEY @ Mar 21 2007, 09:33)

Does anyone know why, ever since switching to Panels UI, my drag'n'dropped playlist items always move to the bottom of the playlist? In ColumnsUI, there was an option to have dropped items insert wherever you dropped them. That option, while still set the way it was, obviously doesn't function since i'm using Panels UI. Thanks for any help you can provide

you can't. scpl doesn't really support drag and drop positioning yet.

QUOTE(Yotsuya @ Mar 28 2007, 00:29)

Has anyone figured out how to switch layouts in scpl?
I tried making some buttons like this:

CODE

$button2($sub(%_width%,42),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,X,x,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:0,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,28),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Y,y,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:1,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,14),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Z,z,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:2,)

And set my layout selector code to this:

CODE

$select($add($getpvar(playlist.mode),1),
$scplsetlayout(Album)
,
$scplsetlayout(Singles)
,
$scplsetlayout(Radio)
)

But it does not switch when I click the buttons. I can confirm the buttons are setting the pvars as they change with $getpvar(playlist.mode) in a Track Display panel. I tried manually changing the layout from the SCPL configuration dialog but could not figure out how.

I also tried using he $scplsetlayout() as the button command but that does not appear to work either. Also, when it comes to the different layouts the delete button does not appear to work and I cannot find a way to rename an existing layout.

All these new toys to play with

the layout selector code is only evaluated when the playlist changes / or a new sorting/grouping is applied. ideally you shouldn't have to manually select a layout, but the layout should be automatically chosen based on the sorting/grouping pattern. with the new sort/group main menu with the new version you should be able to create a preset and button as a workaround though.

QUOTE(Kiteroa @ Mar 28 2007, 04:32)

I may be wrong but from my playing with it:

It seems to me that the SCP layout selector code only runs after the SCP is redrawn either by using the "sort/group by" option or by sending/adding etc. to the playlist (changing playlist contents?).

The layout name in the SCPL configuration dialog chooses which layout you are editting.

The "sort/group by" option chooses which sort and grouping to use and then SCP layout selector code is run to determine SCP layout to apply (layout names are case sensitive!). The value of the variables at the time the SCP layout selector code is run determines which layout is used. Changes to the variables have no effect until the SCP is changed again by "sort/group by" or by changing the SCP contents.

To get layouts changing more dynamically the SCP layout selector code would have to be run more often (Per Track or Per Second?)

I'm not sure whether it is really is working as it seems to me; whether it is meant to work like this or whether it should be updating more often! I'm sure we'll find out in the next few days!

Im looking forward to playing with it some more, tomorrow.

I do foresee a problem with storing Sort by info in the cfg - many people who create and distribute their pui layouts will likely want to have smart sorting code that changes with buttons etc. New users of the layout would have to add each sort command manually to make the layout work correctly. It's proving a hassle getting everyone to change one variable, let alone this

.

It'd be nice if the pui could provide the complete solution as you said it should earlier in this topic.

Is it an fb2k limitation preventing pui storage? I don't really understand this change in philosophy, storing component information outside of the pui. If it is a limitation, any change of creating an "install these sort by/group settings if they don't exist" option?

Maybe an option to import a pui's sort/group settings? Or a way to separate user global sort/group and layout specific sort/group so the user's own custom sorts don't get overwritten. (I've already tinkered around with the presets and I would hate to load up a pui that suddenly decides that this is how the sort/groups should be and overwrites my settings)

Mar 30 2007, 12:29

Good call, maybe a pui specific sort/group settings? Then by changing the pui the sort functions change, when you change back you still have your original versions.

Trying to make a chronological sort, sorting by Data puts the earliest at the top, I can use the sort by/reverse menu to change the whole playlist but then the albums aren't in order. A reverse chronological order would be great, any ideas on how to get this to work? Maybe for each sort by option there could be a way of reversing it? So I could sort by opposite date order then sort by track order.

well, the layouts should handle the "visual" stuff, but the sort / grouping stuff is more of a user preference that really shouldn't change with the layout, as each person would have their slightly different way of sorting (and grouping). each layout should contain multiple scpl layouts to handle different grouping / sorting situations (eg "Album", "Singles", "Rating", etc) and the names should probably be standardized, but the user should ultimately decide which layout goes with which sorting/grouping pattern (and they would only have to do this once, and it would work across all layouts).

for buttons, instead of using names perhaps using something like $setpreset(1) would work, or maybe some standard preset names....

or is there some other problem I'm not quite seeing?
