vlada change those bg colours in the preferences > columns ui > playlist viw > colours and fonts tab > set background colour there!!!


also

I use added as a tag to define when I add my new tracks to my collection, I have this setup as a collection but when i click on the column headers to sort by for ADDED it does not order them properly.. I have no custom sorting just the %added% tag so it should work... not sure what I am doing wrong

5) If I try to export FCL for Any foobar installation, I get this failure message: "Error exporting layout preset "JeCh" - Missing panel." If I export only for my installation, it works. What might be causing this problem?
It means that in the layout preset "JeCh" you have a panel that is not installed. The behaviour you describe is normal.


All the panels are installed. Of course this was the first thing I checked. I have to check it once again. I had the problem on my computer in work. Now at home it works correctly.


I tried it again at work with the same result. So I tried deleting panels to see which one causes it. It is playlist tabs which is preventing me to export the FCL. AFAIK this panel is a part of your Columns UI, so the problem must be somewhere there.

Hi,
Yes, a Playlist Tabs panel without a child panel does seem to cause that. Thanks for the report. It will be fixed for next build.

hey MM, any final decisions on how the filter stuff will be coloured?
its the only stark white bit sticking out of my whole configuration now... like a sore thumb
Yeses by unified colour config. Its more or less designed I'll probably implement it for a11. I will leave album list panel out of it initially and work out those details later. I will probably release a v4 first with some bug fixes and a few changes.

Quote from: 4nt1 on
also for filter was it possible to have multiple colums within each panel, ie total number of items and a few other such options would round it off nicely.
Nope not ATM. See feature requests list

Quote from: 4nt1 on
with your type / find component is there anyway to go to the next result, so far it takes me to the first result and I cant scroll down to next selected items... would be pretty cool
Hmm.. Try pressing Down

Quote from: 4nt1 on
I am unable to select multiple groups from within ng playlist, tried shift and clicking on group names and also tried control and I doing something wrong or has this not been implemented yet?
Hmm yes not implemented yes. I'll get that done soon.

[small ui problem] If you change a columns name in the options, it refreshes late in the columns overview to the left. E.g. only if you press the up/down buttons...
Confirmed, thanks for the report.

What is the format of your added field?

Reply #4029 –
the format for my added field is 2008-01-21 so YYYY-MM-DD
the colum sorting works for me in default ui... i checked my column formatting to see if there was any extra formatting i had but it was just the tag and nothing else ie %added%

I guess I was using an older version of type find down key works perfectly now... weird

cool thx for the replies!!!

Something thats been bothering me for sometime is the fact that when you play a song, exit foobar, and open foobar back up the song that was playing before is continued (providing you have the resume playback option checked) but the entry in the playlist is not highlighted anymore @_@.

Is this a limitation, a foobar problem, a component conflict, or a Columns UI problem? Is there anyway that I can get the playlist entry to be highlighted when the playback resumes. I think that since foobar can remember which song was playing, and where it was in the song, it should beable to remember the playlist entry.

If this can be fixed (if it's a CUI problem) that'd be awesome! Thanks .

I found the error, and posted here: Click

Yes I do. Basically what happens is I load up foobar, and it pops down to the song that was playing before shutdown, then goes back to the top of my playlist (and the currently playing song is no longer highlighted).

Gah I feel stupid now. I found the problem, and it was because I had checked off "Populate playlist / browsers on startup" in the browser component >.<. I have everything working now .

oh MM, that was the only thing I missed.. I feel like a muppet now.. even though I had no custom sort for that column the option was still ticket which caused issues I guess but working perfectly now...

selection by groups working like a charm... keep up the good work and eagerly awaiting alpha 11 for choosing colours for filter

NGPV now remembers scroll positions across playlists (not across foobar2000 instances)

Support for across sessions is planned, right?

Hi, musicmusic.

It seems that NG Playlist has bug with $hsl() and $rgb() functions.
NGP ignores color for selected items and always sets it to first color whether it set or not. For example, if color defined like this:
$hsl(20,190,180,20,230,220)
or like this:
$hsl(20,190,180)
item will always has color hue:20, sat:190 and light:180 in both selected and deselected states.

Thanks for your great UI! Keep up the good work

Hi Musicmusic,

first off thanks for both Columns UI and foo_dop.

As for my request:

I love the NG playlist, but I was wondering if I was the only one missing a way to drag tracks further than the part of the playlist that's currently visible, either by using the mouse wheel or by making the list scrolling up/down by moving the mouse above/below it while dragging? Both methods still work fine with the Columns Playlist...

Also, could you perhaps add an option to the menu to toggle grouping on/off? I really like it for whole albums, but when I make a random playlist all the grouping of single items really looks weird...

Or, even better IMHO - would it be possible to store the playlist configuration (columns, grouping, colors et al) with each NG Playlist instance, like the spectrum analyzer does for it's instances?

That way you could add several different playlist layouts to a tab panel and could simply switch among them; and using several layout presets simply won't do that... although having tabs above the playlist tabs might look a tad weird... perhaps an option to put the tabs of a tab panel at the bottom?

(I guess that'd probably be a lot of changes, so I'm not holding my breath on this one... )
np: 4'33"

Hi, I have a small feature request- I think it would be great if the Style and Variables boxes under Globals in playlist view preferences could have colour coding for functions and fields, as well as spacing with tabs, kind of like Panels UI has. It would make it easier to understand and edit the code for noobs like me.

Thanks.

Not really. Columns Playlist doesn't either. The only difference between the two currently is that Columns Playlist scrolls to the focused item when it encounters a "new" playlist whereas NG Playlist doesn't. I'll fix that.

You're right, it should scroll. I'll add it to my to-do.

I think you should just try the playlist filters. I'm sure you can come up with something suitable  Remember, separate multiple playlists by a semi-colon and you can use wildcards and ?s.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think playlist filters will change the actual layout of the playlist, right?

What I'm after is a way to get a nice, compact, one-line per file layout with a scrambled playlist and nice grouping with a sorted playlist - for easier removal of complete albums from the playlist; I still have stuff like the artist and the album in every line anyway...

Come to think of it - would it be possible to just skip grouping if the group would consist of only one item?

In any case, could you perhaps add a global on/off toggle for grouping to your to-do list? Being able to set it per-playlist would be a nice touch but just a global toggle would improve things a lot already...

EDIT: Gah, of course I confused the playlist filter feature of grouping with the "Filter" panel...

Yeah, it helps, but it's only good for playlists that stay around - I tend to accumulate playlist tabs with both sorted and unsorted playlists until I decide to clean house, and 1) coming up with a name for each of those playlists and b) adding it to the playlist filter field is honestly a tad more complicated than I'd like...

Testing the filter panel a little. I am missing the option for middle click to "send to new playlist". If I have "send to playlist" and for example first middle click on "belle and sebastian", It goes to a new playlist called belle and sebastian. But if I then middle click on Bob Dylan, it goes to the same playlist named belle and sebastian. Is this intended?

I don't get the Directory field to work either, it just says "All - 0 directories" any tip on how to get this to work? I have my library setup correct, and get it to show perfect in facets.

Hey musicmusic,

First of all, thanks for this awesome UI. I can't really find words to describe how much I like it.

I've got a question, though.

Is it possible to customize the toolbar, i.e. not showing the help-menu or adding a menu to a specific component? This is possible in foobar 0.8 but I can't find it in 0.9.5... After extensive searching I found one post where the user asked the same question but that was back in -02 and I thought that the situation might have changed.

I would also like to ask where I can setup the different title formatting options i.e. the Copy Name command and the title of the main window.


Any help would be appreciated!

Columns UI alpha 11 PREVIEW 1 released.

This is just a preview version with the unified colour configuration. This feature is not complete and does not include fonts as yet. This version is not for general use, the final alpha 11 will be released at a later time. The settings on the unified page are not currently included in FCL exports (mainly because the specification of the unified config is not finalised). If you import an old FCL or FCS, the playlist view colours are imported into the global unified settings.

At the moment, Filter, NG Playlist, Columns Playlist and Playlist Switcher panels use the unified configuration. The effect of the settings on the unified page on the playlist view is the same as the effect the settings on the old page had (i.e. primarily if you have the default style script).

I didn't put the spectrum analyser into the unified config yet: Is there anyone who uses multiple instances of it with different colours?

I see were your coming from. Some feature of 0.9.5 does make it pssible to implement properly. The only practical way of actually implementing it that I see is making grouping presets then the option to select those on a per-playlist basis. To be honest I don't plan on adding anything like that at the moment but I noted it on the feature requests page.

No that is not intended behaviour. The omission of the word 'new' only relates to the fact that middle clicking on 'Bob Dylan' will re-use a 'Bob Dylan' playlist if it exists. I couldn't see anything wrong with my code: Can you double check this? Do the options in the context menu work OK?

There is no directory mode (nor is Filter Panel a clone of Facets Element).

The main menu customisability was a feature in foobar2000 0.8.x, it was dropped in 0.9 (I think I got that right.. this was some time ago). So, it is not possible to remove parts of the main menu.

This depends on what version of Columns UI and foobar2000 you are using. The main cases are below:

Columns UI 0.2.1 (recent alpha): In the Columns UI prefs page (for main window title), copy names is in the main advanced prefs page
Columns UI 0.2 with foobar2000 0.9.5: In the main advanced prefs page
foobar2000 0.9.4 or older: In the main 'Title formatting' page.

good to see columns UI continuus evolution

I couldn't find a separate thread for album list :
- foobar 0.9.5 version has an album list browser with both pick-list for the sort type and filter field.
Any such evolution planned for album list ?

- I'd like to assign keyboard shortcuts and/or buttons to View>By ...
how to do that ?

The preview version looks nice, musicmusic. A small question though: Will you update the default icons of the toolbar to the new 0.9.5 icons?

Anyway, keep up the good work, this is easily the best UI there is!

Hello!

I use foobar 0.9.5 and the latest alpha of CUI.

If I try to replace the play, stop, pause, etc icons (right click on it, 'customize'...) with customized ones, they just disappear. Can anyone help me?
