BTW we're talking subgenres here, but I believe the recommended tag is %style%, not %subgenre%. Am I right ?


Huhu!
Jeah i know and i am using the %style% tag. It is only shown in the Header with the name "Subgenre"

Hi.
Is there some kind of way of aligning text in 'Custom Grouping Schemes'?
I would like to have for example '['%genre%']' at the end of a line.

No, there isn't. Group headers are always left aligned.

Is there any particular reason why $tab() doesn't work?
BlueScreenJunky
Hi there !
It's been a long time since I updated foobar and... wow, that new default interface looks really great and easier to configure. I'm still not sure if I'll stay with ColumnsUI or switch to DUI though, I decided to give it a try for a few weeks.


Anyway, how do you change the font of the group headers ?
I'm sure it must be somewhere but I can't find it sad.gif

Is there a way to store playlists in playlistmanager, but not show them as a playlist-tab? I like the tabs for some favorite playlists, but also want to store a lot of playlists in the manager, but more then X entrys makes double rows of tabs and thats kinda ugly. Can't find the option...
foosion
I've split two posts that were not about designs posted in the "Default UI Gallery" thread, but were rather feature requests or general questions. Please keep in mind that such questions are likely to stay unnoticed by developers (at least by Peter) in here.

It's a screensaver called fliqlo. But i'd like to know how Gapkiller got it into his config.

@ Strictly4me

Thx

As SmilerSmiles said itīs a very clean screensaver called fliqlo...you can get it here...

After that go to foosionīs page and download foo_vis_screensaver

Coz I am never satisfied with my layout and I thought it might be possible with the new playbackstatistics to add rating buttons to default UI I did a little tweak of my config. The hearts at the top set rating for the current playing song. Why is rating in selection properties showing as squares btw??

@Mar2zz Check your 'List Fon't under Defualt User Interface -> Colors and Fonts. It should be unicode I believe.

- kp
Mar2zz
That doesn't seem to work. I tried Lucinda Sans Unicode and Calibri. I don't have the Arial Unicode, so I couldn't try that. Why is rating there when the default foobar font doesn't write stars or hearts or anything, just squares (meaning cannot write symbol)?

I've been playing around with the Default UI and really love how easy it is to configure.
I have a few questions regarding it:

1.) Is it possible to edit to the Selection Properties UI element? For example, I'd like to display custom tags there. If it's not possible now, is this functionality planned for the future?

2.) I would love something similar to the foo_trackinfo plugin to display custom text/tags as an element. Any chance this could be added?

3.) With the album art UI element, is it possible to display a default jpg instead of [no image]?

4.) I also understand that developer access to develop plugins for the Default UI is very limited. Is this just temporary while it's being developed, or is this a fundamental philosophy and won't change?


Thanks in advance!

I expect something like this will be quickly developed by someone when the SDK is released.

Preferences -> Advanced ->Display ->Image to display when no album art can be found

I think we can assume it will be released, however I imagine that it is taking a while to be released because what Elements will be allowed to do will probably be fairly restricted, compared to other types of components, so that they cannot be abused the way more recent GUI components have abused the SDK in the eyes of the foobar2000 devs.

Thanks for info Frank. I looked all over the preferences and right clicking on the playlist but I didn't check the main dropdown menu. I also got the no cover image worked out. I can only hope that the album art filenaming will become more flexible in the future. I prefer to use descriptive filenames for the art instead of generic "folder.*, cover,*, etc" and the thread you directed me to indicates that I am not the only one.



how did u get the no cover image to work???

Hope this helps.

^ you've definitely sent me on the right track, but i still haven't gotten it 2 work. the no cover image i have is in my components folder so i put this "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\default.png" as the absolute path, but it still didn't work

Edit:

it ended up working... thanks a lot
Benji99
Another question, when using the Custom Grouping schemes, is it possible for the header/separating row to be on 2 lines? With 2 lines of text? If so, what's the "Return Carriage" command?

Someone threw a suggestion of being able to change the alignment from left, right, center. I also think that would be great addition.

Thanks!
shakey_snake
no.

How did you code the "rating" column?

You might check to see if in addition to the single art file in the directory that you have not also embedded the art in the individual tracks

I've found the default gallery options to be more than enough and a big step up from the 0.8.3 options. Seeing the file info in a separate box and some visualizations are nice touches that make foobar that much more polished. smile.gif I don't see why anyone would need more than the basics unless you like staring at your audio software instead of listening to stuff with it.

Install a component "Playback Statistics", then go to Preferences/Display/Default User interface/Playlist view and add a line Name: Rating and Pattern: $pad($repeat(★,%rating%), 5,○). Change playlist fonts to Arial Unicode MS.
Then go to the playlist and choose columns.

I like your layout here - it is very interesting. Maybe i am going to create an additional layout in the same style. I would like to know how your facets are interacting with the playlist on the right side: Is it a facet playlist and if not how are the settings for middle/doubleclick?

Hi m8,

I use facets for Artist/Album/Tracks. I have the Album facet sorted by a Year column. The Tracks facet is sorted by a Track Number column, and includes a rating column too.

On the right side is a Playlist View element. When i double click an Artist, all of that Artist's music is added to the playlist, replacing the current one. When i double click an album, that album replaces the current playlist.

Middle click is the same as double click but enqueues the tracks on the playlist, instead of replacing.

I dont use multiple playlists, so i didnt add a playlist manager. I guess its something ill add later, but for now this layout gives me quick access to all that i want to hear. smile.gif

ive noticed some people have rating buttons on there toolbars how do you get them there? iam presuming you can use them to rate songs?
NinjaN
Hey davio,


take a look at my post here, there it's explained...

Basically, you need the component "foo_quicktag", configure it to set the tag "rating" to any value (I use 0 to 5) and bind these macros to some buttons...

Awesome thanks man
kanak
Actually, quicktag isn't necessary if you're using the Official Playback Statistics component to handle your ratings and playcount info.
davio28
oh well i had that component anyway so i got it up and running but i have another question.

ive tried rating some of my music in foobar but when i go to itunes it doesnt keep the rating! same happens other way round is there a way around this? its no biggie just wondered if you could.

also can you create custom playlists in foobar like itunes where you can create a playlist containing all your top rated music? or say a playlist containing only a certain genre? hope you know what i mean

Anyone please identify the font used for this config.
