Typing in the Filter Panel does something already, no idea if that's what you want or not...

added an Item Properties Panel

maybe you feel strong enough for a Track display panel (from p*n*ls UI) successor?

I removed the "tabbed panel stack mod" component and switched to your builtin tab stack. I there a way to have the tab stack at the bottom of its subcomponents, not on top?

Suggestions:

a) Maybe you think about the otion to remove vertical scrollbars in the filter panel. I have 4 filter panels vertical, if only some show scrollbars this looks ugly.

b) the improvement to define your own "send to" playlists for filter panel. "Filter Results" and "Filter Results (playback)" are really long names.

A bug in displaying artwork reflection at the end of a playlist. It happened with preview version 10, too. I was too busy yesterday to post, my main board decided to work up.

    [...] This style is not supported if you use ComCtl32.dll version 6.

If you have theming enabled it does weird things..

I think it's to do with the size of the image actually, I'll check this, thanks.

Oh yes I missed that. I think for filters that is all one needs and for other stuff a generic media library search would be better of. Something similar to the search component of the default ui (I do not know if its the default ui or the core that provides the functionality) which allows to create autoplaylists as well using the syntax.

A couple of bugs as well
1) Select a filter panel with a number of artists and type a letter (for example A). Pressing 'A' will cycle through the entries starting with 'A' but pressing any other letter like 'T' doesn't do anything. The right behavior would be to move to entries starting with 'T'.

2) Select a specific album using filters (in my case first genre then artist and then album), double click a song to play it. Now click 'All' in all 3 filters and press the random playback button. The cycled entries are the ones belonging to the previous album instead of the now active playlist i.e. all the media library.

I think both of these behaviours are as intended.
1) I think if you pause between pressing 'A' and 'T' it will then cycle through the entries beginning with 'T'. You are probably pressing 'T' too quickly after 'A' thus the panel looks for entries beginning with 'AT'. If there are none of these then the panel will do nothing.

2) I think pressing random always affects the currently playing playlist regardless of UI. I could be wrong though.

Apologies if I have misunderstood either of your points.

The Library Search function is indeed part of the core, and can be accessed independent of what UI is in use. However, if you want to change the font or color scheme for the popup window, you have to enable Default UI first, since it uses the Default UI's font and color settings.

How can I (is it even possible to) create subgroups of an album with the subtitle, only if it exists?

F.ex:


Artist / Album ----------------------------
01
02
03
...
  Additional tracks -----------------------
01
02
03
...

Right now, I added another line of grouping, but it has the sideeffect that an empty line is created just below the album groupline.

Edit: Maybe it could be a nice feature to have different grouping formattings for each column, just like it's already possible to have seperate style and sort options.

Bug report:

When I disable "Show column" and presses "Close", the contents of columns is not updated until scrolling horizontally.

aphasia explained it well, also see Windows Explorer.

Are there any variables available like %is_selected% for use in globals ?? I failed to find it in the wiki.

Edit: Not necessary anyway.

Is it possible to set the color of an inactive selection using $set_style ?

Refer to:
http://yuo.be/wiki/columns_ui:config:colour_string

Set style works as follows:
$set_style(text,text colour,selected item text colour[,selected item text colour when window is not focused])

Hope that helps.

Sorry I don't know where to ask. Musicmusic: Will the foo_uie_albumlist component any further developed? It would be cool to have some improvements in the search .

I just had a look at the item properties.
Where can I set the edge style ? Where can I reset the Item properties?

Hey MM. I know you've said that the "All" Filter is intended to include tracks that are not present in the filter list, but could it perhaps be an optional feature? I have my filters set up to only include songs from a specific folder and the All filter is still showing my entire Media Library. Any way around this?

Thanks.

I noticed a little glitch with the item properties panel. With tracking mode set to current selection the information displayed disappears when I tab away from the playlist view, i.e., the tracks are still selected but inactive.

preview 11c released. Changes:
-You can open autoplaylist properties from Playlist switcher/tabs (with foobar2000 0.9.5.4+)
-You can use the mouse wheel over tab stack/playlist tabs (tested on Vista only)
-Partial fix of the problem with tall artwork and reflections, but complete fix will be in next version.
-Fixed some other glitches

I will release a maintenance release sometime, which will also bring the filtering more in line with the current version of foobar2000.

You can't currently.. I changed it to something less ugly in preview 11c though.

Do you mean the field list? I will add that later.

It tracks the selection of whatever part of the UI is focused (so, for example it will track the Filter Panel as well).. But I will probably add some more tracking modes later so you can have it track just the playlist.

Oh I see. My bad. Thanks for making the autoplaylist properties available from the switcher. Very handy.

I don't mind adding the option but there are just too many things to implement at the moment.. Best you can do currently is Ctrl-A then Ctrl click All.

Anyway I updated the request list with some recent requests, if I missed anything discussed please add it so I can track it.

Well no bad it's  useful knowing what you were expecting to happen.. (I would probably have expected the same thing..)

You can use the Library search (Search on the Library menu) or also the standard Album List.

You remember I asked for this before. I think I have a similar problem like FootageOfACop: I have a tabbed filter layout (2x4 filters). The first 4 are only for classical music, so all filters have a "$if($strstr(%path%,Klassik)," prefix. The name of the tab is "Classical". But "All" shows the whole media library. You see my point.

I have an idea. Maybe some kind of prefiltering would be useful:

Code: [Select]
Restrict ALL to [$strstr(%path%,Klassik)]

This would have to be a per field setting, which would require some rewrite I guess.

Thanks for your good work anyway, it's always a pleasure seing CUI developing

I wonder, what do i do without a great feature "Use alternate selection model", which is gone in preview8 ?
If it was intentionally removed, then there must be another way to reproduce the functionality which that feature provided?

Surely this must be a mistake  this feature is far to good to be scrapped.
