Was wondering how I fiddle with the 3 filters at the top of my columns UI layout, currently they are stuck on [ Genre | Artist | Album ]. Right clicking on them allows me to select whether the filter is Artist, Genre or Album, but I would like to specify other variables that they could be. Also, is there a way to edit the Artist column so an artist such as 'The Libertines' appears as 'Libertines, The'  ?

Thanks in advance guys

Have you checked your preferences?
Display>Columns> Filter Tab. Add whatever you need.

Please search the forum for your second question. 100's of responses regarding 'The'.
Or you can glance through the titleformatting docs.
Here's a start.

Hey guys. I create custom playlists a lot, where the order of songs is important. However I'd like to be able to sort playlists by other categories without losing the order I've set it up into. It seems like the best way to achieve this is to create a column where the contents are the variable %list_index%, BUT that value freezes when not sorting by this new column. In other words, say the new column is called P#. I want it so that P# will basically reflect %list_index%, but where the values only change if P# is the current column being sorted by (this way I can simply drag tracks into place in the playlist, and the P# value auto-configures itself.)

Another possibly suitable way to overcome my issue is to create some random new metadata e.g. PNUMBER, and have the new column sort by that. The only issue with this solution is that I won't be able to use the same song in two different playlists, since such metadata will obviously stick with the song globally and regardless of the current playlist. If there were a way to define a column with playlist-localized/-specific variables that were editable inline, that too would be a suitable solution. Ideas?

(Best way to create this in my ideal world would be to create a new Columns UI-compatible plugin for fb2k, but alas I haven't the means nor the will to go so far just to add a simple feature. =P)

I've been looking through a number of the pages on this thread, and couldn't find anything related to what I'd like to see implemented in Columns UI.

Firstly, I'd like to be able to utilize a second line within the NG Playlist headers. I know this kind of thing is possible using EL Playlist, but prefer the layout and ease of use of Columns UI. Essentially, I'd like to use this to show some extra per-album information, such as ReplayGain, codec details, album length, dynamic range (those last two being user-defined tags I use), etc.

Secondly, I'd like to use the $tab() function on the NG Playlist group headers without losing the trailing horizontal line that appear after the initial scripting. At the moment, if I use this the tabbed information gets shifted to the right as I want it, but I just get a gap between the fields shown rather than the thin horizontal line between them.

Hopefully this is something not too hard to implement?

Other than that, keep up the great work!

I have spotted a very small bug with using a custom active item frame in Columns. once focus has been lost to the Columns NG playlist, the active frame colour will not appear when clicking any song with the mouse, if you press any key on the keyboard the frame will appear.

To reproduce

1. Make sure you're using a NG playlist.
2. Open up Foobar preferences, and change the active item frame colour to red and close the preferences.
3. Left click with the mouse on a few random songs and the red frame will not appear.
4. Press the Ctrl key and the red frame appears.
5. Left click with the mouse again on some random songs and you will see the red item frame when you select other items in the NG playlist.

in my setup i had a search field for every filter.
after updating recently all these search boxes disappeared and i can't re-enable them.

i want to filter a filter-panel :3
so more or less i want the filter-search to be much more customizable. i want to define which tag fields are taken into account and i would like a tweakable delay (and minimum character input).. searching my whole media library for just one letter way too often (which stalls my whole pc for seconds)

is this already possible?

I just installed Columns UI. I was not pleased with the configuration of genre/artist/album on the top, so I entered layout conf mode, right-clicked the border of the genre box and clicked on "Remove Panel", thinking I'd remove the genre panel.


THEN FOOBAR BECAME A GREY BOX


Nothing happens if I right-click ANYWHERE, and ctrl + p isn't taking me anywhere!

if foobar is still running at this point (!), open task manager and kill it. changes won't be saved to the layout.

if you've since closed foobar and really are stuck with that layout, you'll have to browse the profile folder (%appdata%\foobar2000\configuration) and delete "foo_ui_columns.dll.cfg". prepare to lose any columns UI settings.

Wait, profile folder?


I guess it isn't the same thing as going to foobar's folder on windows explorer, right?

You can execute
Code: [Select]
foobar2000.exe /config
to open preferences.
.

if you installed foobar normally (not a portable install) then the settings are stored under your user profile. i already posted the location above which you can copy/paste into explorer yourself.

%appdata%\foobar2000\configuration

if you're running a portable install, the "configuration" folder is inside the foobar directory.

edit: this info is kind of redundant after the post above. a handy tip there.

Hi,

I'm using Foobar2000 V1.1.6 stable. When I change to Columns UI display the Seekbar is slightly different to the one used in default user interface.

My main problem is: Using scroll to seek is opposite to DUI when scrolling up the seek draws back when scrolling down it drives forth this is irritating me enough to stop using Columns UI so is their a fix ?

It was working perfectly fine for 10minutes till I started modifying the settings but I never came across any sort regarding the seekbar


thanks

Can an album's Year tag be displayed in the NG playlist area immediately under the artwork?  If not, I'd love to see that feature.  thanks.

Hello everyone!

I've been using foobar for quite a few years now, not least because of CUI. So first of all, thanks a lot for this great work!

Here's my problem:
I was just playing around with my config of CUI, when I figured out that it's not possible to change the colours of the console-panel (preferences: colums UI -> colours and fonts -> colours -> element). Is this a bug or just not implemented?
Anyway I'd love to see this feature in a future release
