I tried many things to figure this out:

If, in Display preferences, under Selection Viewers: "Prefer currently playing track" is selected it interferes with Item details and Item Properties "tracking mode". For example, if tracking mode is set to "Current selection", then when playing track both Items panels are empty + selecting playlist items doesn't change anything

Excuse me, how do you get rid of a vertical scroll bar?
It's really annoying on this black theme and it would be very nice if it was possible to remove it, thanks!

Not possible except in certain third-party panels.

Hi

I once had my foobar configured as on the right part of the picture below.
I don't remember how I got it, think i just used ctrl+f but now it opens an external window.
Is there any way to get the right config back ?

Thanks

you can get them back if you install CUI prior to introducing filter search tool-bar (< 0.3.8.4) then right click on filter and select search
however new search tool-bar is of course preferred and unless you have some reason for downgrading I'd suggest adding search tool-bar in your layout

Is there any way to set text in a column to be displayed as bold?

I would like to set any text with [ ] to display as bold, at the moment I have the text in a different colour.

add $tab() at the end of your grouping pattern

Is there any way I can display the current volume level as text inside the new status pane? e.g. -16dB

Is there a way to make the titles of the albums use a larger font. i.e. the text to the left of the black like in this example. Cause I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you first question has been possible for as long as I remember. Go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI -> Status Bar (tab) and tick "Show volume". There doesn't appear to be something like %volume%.

I meant inside the new columns UI status pane. It shows a volume slider and that is all. Probably it is not possible but I thought I would ask anyway.

Hi everyone,
tried to switch to Columns UI several times but lack of foo_facets like filter search (one search field for everything) really annoyed me and now it's finally here.
hooray ;)
thanks for that

some questions regarding new filters:
1. Are there any plans to make multiple columns (like those in foo_facets)
2. Is there a way (or plans to implement) folder filter, so that music library is browsed in Mac OS X Finder style (or as in foo_facets ;)))
3. Is it possible to change filter search field font-size? I found that it's possible to adjust font size for most of the UI elements, but not for filter search.
If it's not possible - are there plans to implement?

And thanks again for great job ;-)

I can browse by folder using the album list panel. It works much better than facets anyway.

Columns UI

imho album list is rather useless component
tree view is good when you have limited screen space

I like to use whole 2560x1600 space available, and facets like navigation just rocks in that
in my current setup i have 5 tabs and each has 3-5 facets filters
it's much more productive on big screen imho

Columns UI

if anyone needs it - i've made filters work like facets in terms of folders

you just need this script to cut top level directory

$puts(pathCut,$directory_path(%path%)\)
$puts(pathPosStart,$add($strchr($get(pathCut),'\'),1))
$puts(pathCut,$substr($get(pathCut),$get(pathPosStart), 1000))
$puts(pathPosEnd,$add($strchr($get(pathCut),'\'),-1))
$substr($get(pathCut),1,$get(pathPosEnd))

and this one to cut second level directory

$puts(pathCut,$directory_path(%path%)\)
$puts(pathPosStart,$add($strchr($get(pathCut),'\'),1))
$puts(pathCut,$substr($get(pathCut),$get(pathPosStart), 1000))
$puts(pathPosStart,$add($strchr($get(pathCut),'\'),1))
$puts(pathCut,$substr($get(pathCut),$get(pathPosStart), 1000))
$puts(pathPosEnd,$add($strchr($get(pathCut),'\'),-1))
$substr($get(pathCut),1,$get(pathPosEnd))

so, just cut-and-past lines 2 and 3 to get any nesting level

of course it's not too fast ;( but does it job

I meant album list panel. From the same dev as columns UI.


Here is my code for album list panel. I'm not good at coding but I some how managed to figure it out and this is what I came up with...

$directory(%path%,3) | %<genre>%|[%album artist%]|%date% - %album%


In case anyone wants it, maybe to improve it (works great but only when library is organized on the HDD), or maybe just to compare it.

musicmusic, can you extend item properties panel in a way that clicking on fields values, others then metadata group, can provide copy field value?

Hi!
Is it possible to display the playtime of a group?

Some additions to my previous concerns about filter search.

Not sure whether it's Columns UI bug or Panel Stack Splitter that I use - when using panel stack splitter instead of standard horizontal splitter - 'filter precedence by position in splitter' stops working. But 'by field list above' works as it should regardless of splitter type used.

Is there a resource for Columns UI 3rd-party plugins/panels anywhere? Google is only yielding stuff about the old Panels UI.

I'll add a copy command, I think.

I haven't (at this time) published the API used, so you can blame me.

Diving further into filters - found one more bug (?). I have multiple tabs used. Each one has some (2-4) filter panels. So - 10+ filter panels total.

And when I change filter (make selection) on one tab it affects some (but definitely not all) other filters on other tabs. I guess filters within only splitter (that contains selected item) should be taken into account when calculating intersection.
But filter search should affect all tabs of cause (and it's great that it does - gives you much more flexibility than with foo_facets).
