Nice idea! It looks a lot like my old foo_coruscate, only it's based (visually speaking) on the Columns playlist instead of the Default UI playlist. I only hope you don't abandon the project like I did with foo_coruscate.

Some issues I've run across (under Windows XP Pro SP 2):
The focus rectangle on selected items looks weird. Are you setting the actually used text color before drawing it?

Mouse wheel scrolling is way too slow here.

Scrolling by keyboard works as expected so far. However the vertical scrollbar acts weird. Dragging the thumb just resets the position to the start. Clicking the up button to scroll by a single line works. Clicking the down button or above or below the thumb (to scroll by a page) does nothing. Is that only partially implemented or is that a bug?

Also, I don't mind the absence of options too much, that makes it easier to set up.

Out of curiousity, are you a collective?

- Mouse wheel scroll scrolls pixel by pixel. It should probably scroll line by line instead.

- The 'field bar' (where it has #, title, and length) does nothing when clicked, and right click when in panels UI brings up my config when I choose settings.

Click-drag scrolling speed is a bit slow.

Apparently those only triggered with visual themes disabled  I guess the scroll bar APIs have a completely different code path in that case. Anyhow I fixed for next build.

I probably should have mentioned that. But I'm curious, can you tell what the problem was?

So in summary with visual themes enabled GetScrollInfo ignores a NULL cbSize member of the SCROLLINFO structure. It seemed like it was ignoring the fMask member also.

Yes, very interesting stuff..

BOOL GetScrollInfo(..)
{
if (_IsWindowThemed(..))
return _GetScrollInfoThemed(..);
else
return _GetScrollInfoClassic(..);
}

I know this goes against everything you stand for

but would be possible to include a column that allows album art? something a la itunes v7+

will there be the possibility of settings fonts and stuff ie - so I can have the top grouping a little larger or bold or something to that affect - or even view lines between each entry etc.. i know its only early stages but maybe  if you can hint to us the direction your thinking of taking the component...

Great to see that playlist grouping in ColumnsUi is going to come and that it will even offer multi-level grouping. What would be amazing is to make the grouing of a playlist dependent of sort string or if no sorting is known then of playlist title (similar to SCP): I am thinking of defining in the "playlist view"-preferences not only the sort string for clicking a certain column but also the grouping or having f.e also a dropdownbox with predefined sort-grouping-strings.

I am interested to hear how that new playlistview will be integrated into ColumnUI: will the columns in both views be defined in the same page?

I couldn't find a foo_uie_albumlist thread so I'm adding this bug report here.

I just noticed that the last two tracks of the last CD of my multi-CD albums are not added to the playlist when I highlight the album and press Enter. The tracks definitely exist, though; they can be played by highlighting the track itself and pressing enter.

The problem exists with 0.2.2 and 0.2.3 beta.

Hey musicmusic, I remember requesting this quite a long time ago. Just to make sure you haven't forgot (or I haven't missed it somehow ), would it be possible to add selection colours to frames?

ie:

$set_style(frame part,enabled state[,colour][,selected colour])

hey music music any updates on the new playlist with grouping... have been playing with it but want something more configurable to play with if... please...

As I understand it, there are no functions to get at trackinfo related to other tracks in the playlist.  This becomes a problem if you are trying to do something like: display the 4-line album info when only tracks 10-17 are in the playlist.

Is this a limitation of columns ui, or foobar itself?  If columns ui, is it something that can be added, or have you already decided not to pursue that area of development?
