The page and the read me seems to be in japanese. Can someone help translate?

I do not understand what this plugin does and so I don't know if it is useful to install...

It does tons of stuff. It's basically a component that the developer puts random features in that do cool things. For example:

- $calc() is like Panels UI's version of $eval() except it can do decimals also.
- $console(string) can write things to the console.
- $getimageinfo(file,mode) can provide you with the width / height or file type of the file provided.
- $files_ex(cmd,path,file) can get the size of all files in a folder(my suggestion to the developer ) and other things like the number of files in a folder.
- $textfile can read text documents
- $textwrite can write things to text files
- $setcontextmenu(name,'tf') can add functions with a one-click execution

It can also do loads of things with playlists .

I have personally had a lot of problems with it and AVG Anti-virus (it isn't a virus tho) and it locks foobar up for me sometimes. The newest versions 0.2.5 and up seem to be okay so far however.

Don't those japanese component developers speak english or do they just want to stay local heroes?

Well, most of them are not good at English due to various reasons. That's why they stay as local heroes.

I have translated Lyrics Art (the component and readme) and graphical browser readme though.

EDIT: I had planned to do translation for some other components, but gave up due to time constraint and the recent foobar developers' announcement.

I have a question:
I have in Panel ui a Button which appears when a Cover does not exist. If you click this button the Album Cover Downloader Xui is activated.



Is it possible to create something similiar but without having to create and to press a button?

EDIT: Yes it does what I want


This is really cool. It makes the Cover Art Download more automatic

Quick question to AVG Anti-Virus Users:

The problems I was talking about earlier keep creeping up on me when I use foo_func in my layout >.<. I am almost positive it is a foo_func problem (but then again, could be AVG).

Anyways, what happens is my computer CPU sky rockets to 100%, everything slows down, foobar gets choppy playback, and things in my layout start disappearing (graphics wise). AVGCC.exe starts to get all jumpy, and pops up with a "This program has done something bad" error (yes that is actually what AVG says...).

I try to exit foobar, and it gives me warnings about loosing playlists, changes to the config file, etc. I click okay until foobar finally exits (nothing is ever lost tho ).

So my AVG crashes, and foobar crashes (basically). I remove foo_func (and settings) and everything works flawlessly from then on. I add it back in, and this stuff starts up again. I even removed AVG from my system and foobar crashed (it took 2 days or so for it to happen, but it eventually did anyways).

So has anyone else experienced these issues?

Not the same issues but my avast is telling me that foo_fileops from 9.5.1 Beta 1 is dangerous. That is really stange.

Suggestion:
Go offline deactivate the AVG and then try Foobar with func. When everything is okay it seems to be the wrong AVG which causes the crash.

Not running AVG, though i have a similar problem:
1) open a foo_func popupmenu
2) use a global shortcut, while popupmenu is still open
3) playback pauses until menu is closed. sometimes cpu usage goes to 100% and i have to kill foobar

Does anyone know how the $Playlist_group works?
I have this, but how do i get a dynamic group index:

$playlist_group(count,'$substr(%filename%,0,1)',0)

'$substr(%filename%,0,1)' is my grouping scheme...

The 0 on the end is the group index, which i find is completly useless if its not dynamic... I tried the index variable, but it only works as the first parameter...

Any ideas?

I'm trying to get the total size of all files in a folder using $files_ex but can't get anything else than 0. What's the correct syntax?

EDIT: OK, found the correct syntax in the japanese language wiki: $files_ex(size,c:\temp,*)

Not working, at least with the latest foobar-0.9.5.2

It works for me in 9.5.2.

How do you use it? I mean foo_func?

I loaded it, but then in the menu nothing happens when I press the button, maybe I need to had some function, right, so, if is this, is working. Sorry! I'm not let this happen again.

I just load it, pressed the button, and nothing happen. Maybe I need to put some expression on the foo_func config, don't know well what to do with it. I thought I will have some examples of some functions in it when I press the button. I was looking for something like in this thread "play next playlist? possible?" but at the end of the current playlist. Interesting plugin.

The button doesn't work for me too. But in the preferences for Foo_func I have in the "on playback new track" section:



I find this very useful

I will give a look at AlbumArtDownloaderXUI, I didn't test it yet. Could be a good way to test this plugin, but for what I see, all album art is downloaded into a specific folder, no problem, better have them then not. I am looking for somebody that do a script for play another playlist before the current playing. We'll see if I can do it.

Is not possible to look for the image and save it, if it not exists, in the same folder of the album? I don't understand or understand a little of scripts. What could be the variale for C:\Media\folder(artist name) - album name? I don't want to have another folder for the CoverArt.
