No, it would simply mean that "Search for same" and format presets would be configured separately.

Is there any chance this will be updated to enable embedding in the main window? I love this plugin, and it'd be really neat if I could just add it as another component in the main window.

Maybe, maybe not. Definitely not any time soon.

This is a great component and already is very configurable, but just wanted to ask if it will incorporate the UI of the 0.9.5 beta, I mean using the color theme of the whole UI, grouping the search results, and stuff like that.

When (and if) it will be possible to embed the database search window in the Default UI, it will also use the common font and color configuration. As for grouping, this feature is not available through the SDK, it is internal to the Default UI.

Hello foosion,
i just would like to mention when doing so it would make sense to change the name of context menu entry from "Search for same" to "Search for": the rest could then be part of the presets name. It is more natural language to search for:

-similar artists
-same album
-other albums of the same artist
-appearences of the artist on compilations
and so on...


(By the way! There is a little but annoying usability issue with foo_random: when choosing a query preset from the dropdown list you can't access the OK button as long as you don't add a space sign(f.e) to the query text)
And yes, it would be wonderful to see somedays Database Search as Ui-element.

Hi,

I really appreciate this plugin. But I found a bug that is somehow strange and I don't know if it is a Database Search Plugin bug or a bug of the new Foobar version 0.9.5 or the interaction between them.

The Bug:

"Add to Playback Queue" does not work with Hotkeys (neither global nor local) in the search result box (since foobar 0.9.5 beta versions (???)).

Explanation:

I've always used the global hotkey ctrl+alt+j to open the search dialogue and the local hotkey q to add a search result to the playback queue. But instead of adding the search result to the playback queue the current playing song is added to the playback queue.

My workaround:

Use "Add to playback Queue" as default action. Then everything is fine.

So long

Have you checked what the "Q" shortcut is bound to after upgrading to 0.9.5?

well, that OSX icon in Database Search Demo toolbar just fits my needs, and the options for searching is just too great.

for example talking about some unicode filenames & tags, it points that this is the only plugin that can do it (+ not restrected to only media library):

configuring tags to for ex. $ascii(%artist%) gives the chance for some searces like "Šarlo Akrobata" to get results just by typing "Sarlo" without the need for some keyboard arrangements

the examples are probably endless just like your ideas to search

great plugin, thank you foosion

This one is really cool and powerful. How good are the chances of getting a panel-version of that plugin for ColumnsUI?

About the same as the chances of a UI element version for the Default UI: zero.
