Hello,

I'm trying to get a small image to show up in my Single Columns Playlist View, but it just won't work. The relevant line of code, in the "Group Display":

CODE
$imageabs(,,\images\flag.png,)


I have the latest foobar2k, both libpng and zlib in the \foobar directory, latest SCPL component. I've also tried giving the full directory to the image, tried saving it as a jpg, adding quotes to the path and even a clean install of foobar on another PC, seems nothing will work sad.gif

I don't think I've ever had an image working in SCPL, am i missing something?

thanks! smile.gif

1) If you have a question about SingleColumnPlaylist, you should post it in the SingleColumnPlaylist thread. If everyone started a new topic every time they had a question then the forum will fall into chaos.

2) what is the full path of your image? if it is in the foobar image directory you should not use the backslash \ at the beginning of your path.

At least he didn't post it in the appearance thread.

$imageabs() works relative to your profile, not the install directory.
Wiki
QUOTE(wiki)
$imageabs(X,Y,imageName,imageOptions)

X & Y
Absolutely position the image with respect to its top left corner.
imageName
The relative path to the image from the foobar profile directory.
Note: If profile support is off then the standard foobar installation folder can be used. However if User Profile Support is Enabled this directory is profile specific and is thus located in:
%appdata%\foobar2000\



you probably can't leave x and y blank like that either.

THANKYOU!

that did it, and i thought i scoured the wiki! plus every bit of code i've seen on this board said to put images in the \images\foobar directory, guess they don't have user profiles enabled biggrin.gif

Yeah, it's tricky because $button() $button2() and $imageabs2(,,,,,/relative path,) all work relative to the install directory. while $imageabs() is an oddball. wacko.gif

I avoid $imageabs() in my configs specifically because of this quirk and especially because I share it in the config distribution thread.
