:-) fb2k, Just like It...
Running 2 versions,
1. fb2k 0.6 final with all available plugins
2. fb2k 0.6 final with no plugins at all, even not dll's from extra folder :-) loading faster.
Please consider adding this:

%filesize% (of file in kb)
%filesize_total% (total size of all songs in playlist)
%playlist_total% (total number of songs in playlist)

- Option to control the entire status bar (remove the volume, time, add/remove separators)
- Option to change top bar (buttons to some other chars, also the titles, Foobar2000, Playback... to
what ever format we like (like special chars instead of words...)
- Maybe option to add new buttons with new functions at the top... ?, or just option to enable/disable each button.
- Option to change the top left fb2k icon, like in taskbar.
- Option to change the top bar & status bar background colors.

That's it for now :-) , I'll think of more at later time...

Thanks again Peter, for the best audio player !

I don't think it's a question of it being hard to add. I don't think Peter wants to add it. And it's his decision.

If I remember correctly, the file size isn't in the tags and therefore isn't stored in the database. To display the file size on the playlist would mean accessing the file system for each file which could really slow things down for a large playlist. I assume it could also cause problems if the files weren't accessible when the playlist tries to display them.

If you could live with an approximate file size there's a format string listed in this thread Foobar Functions

Well... i can live with that, it will be hard but i'm ready to try :-)

hey, what do you guys, think about all the other things i suggested ?

You have noticed these "status bar" checkboxes in prefs/display? Thatīs 2/3 of suggestion 4, approximately...tongue.gif

I like the idea of more buttons in the menu row, Iīd love to have some for the switches in "Playback", so I can instantly see if shuffle or follow cursor is still activated from last session...another great thing would be to "switch" between different playlists with some buttons (1-10?) that save and load accordingly: e.g. press button 2, actual playlist is saved as 1.fpl and cleared, gather some tracks, press button 1, 2.fpl is saved, 1.fpl is loaded, woo, Iīm dreaming. biggrin.gif How about some "dip switches", whose status can be asked in title formatting? Nah, better allow different presets in prefs, switchable by keyboard shortcut. Talking about it, I need more keyboard shortcuts! rolleyes.gif Itīs just too much clicks for a simple "auto track number", and with this added huge diskwriter functionality, presets (un-/dithered, mp3, mpc, ...) on keyboard shortcuts would turn fb2k into a WMD (Ware of My Dream?).

I should go to bed now... laugh.gif
