Hi Falstaff!
Thanks for the cool improvements in the new version. It gets better and better...
In case you haven't ignored my idea on purpose but just have missed it..
a) Artist path. Maybe to help others setting up the path you could add this additional version to the Z:/artist path as a comment: $puts(artist.path,$replace($replace(%path%,$directory(%path%),),%filename_ext%,*.jpg))
It checks for any jpg in the parent folder of an album.
b) foo_path. Is there no way to put that as one global variable somewhere/somehow /in an ini-file or whatever). It's a little bit tough to find all instances of the variable definition...
c) Did you take a look at the "mouseover"-function of ELplaylist? Would be very cool if you implemented it somehow, i.e. when you move the mouse over the group header, there could be some additional info with a picture of the artist or whatever..
d) Any chance to make the uppermost line with the "breadcrumb" now playing track a little bit more interactive? Thought it would be cool to use the seperate entries as a filter for example. When you click on the artist name all songs by that artist are listed in a new playlist.

The background image is the cover of the album currently playing.
I have my artist images in "../%artist%/%artist%.jpg"
ie. D:\Musikk\Saturnus\Saturnus.jpg

I second that. Falstaff, tell us please - how to edit your scripts to allow Curaçao read the artist background image directly from artist folder?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

"c) Did you take a look at the "mouseover"-function of ELplaylist? Would be very cool if you implemented it somehow, i.e. when you move the mouse over the group header, there could be some additional info with a picture of the artist or whatever.."

that makes me laugh, sorry 

and you ??? you should because popup is coded for curacao, you just have to active it in ELPlyalist settings (mouse over) ... did you took a look at this ?


"d) Any chance to make the uppermost line with the "breadcrumb" now playing track a little bit more interactive? Thought it would be cool to use the seperate entries as a filter for example. When you click on the artist name all songs by that artist are listed in a new playlist."

could be done, why not, i think this is a good idea ... i'll see

"

an external plugin (component) is needed for handling global variables (or constants), foo_exvar can do the job, i'll see to implement this for further versions

read again first post :

ColumnsUI Config using Panel Stack Splitter gives Foobar2000 a kick ass look, but these configs are not recommended for newbies to Foobar2000, DefaultUI is a better choice if you don't know how to configure a component and if you don't know a little bit about titleformatting script used in Foobar

--- use at your own risk and matching your foobar capacities ---

so, i think i have given all that you need to use Curacao, excuse me but i'm not here to explain what is a path or what are the globals variables used in foobar, but as i am pleased today, here is the path to use for replacing the artist.path variable declaration

in the 4 places that my video tutorial indicate, for the artist.path variable, just replace my default

path :

'Z:/_artists_/'%artist%'.jpg'

by :

$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)artist.jpg

Thank you, Falstaff and Onkel Andy!

I've changed the operators for artist.path to

$puts(artist.path,$replace($replace(%path%,$directory(%path%),),%filename_ext%,artist.jpg))

and now the artist photo shows correctly.

Thats pretty easy....
Preferences->ColumnUI Colours and Fonts->Fonts tab->Choose playlist switcher from drop-down and be happy!

For anyone that has an issue with the letter filter not going to the right spot when you click a letter (usually "T" is the worst), I was able to finally get it to work.

There are four spots with "%album artist%" that need to be changed to the same way you sort your artists.  I use the following for sorting my artists:

Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%album artist%,4),The ),$right(%album artist%,$sub($len(%album artist%),4))', 'The,%album artist%)


Right click anywhere on the set of letters, and select "Settings".  In the first field "Group" you will need to replace both instances of "%album artist%"

In the "Draw" section, you will also need to replace the "%album artist%" in the "$puts(ch..." and "$puts(my.char..." sections.  One for each.

Thank you, that worked perfectly

Br3tt, could this go into the code permanently???

You need to replace the SORT and GROUP instances too in EL Playlist to get the same result when typing letters to search 'T' artist names

Glad I could help.

Oh, and don't forget that if you use the sort string I do, then you will also want to put it in the library sort order, as well as the "Sort" section of the Album Art viewer in the lower section.

Great config, everything works. But still two Questions: No problems with the images folder but the volume - circle is just not shwoing up, the "above-layer" ist missing.

Second quastion: Where to switch the font-size of the playlist switscher? Its just too small for my eyes...

--Ypreferences...vertical  item padding? nothing happens.
Sry if im blind but i already looked in all these registers.

Think it is hidden somewhere in these CUI-settings?

I've updated foobar to the latest version (0.9.6 beta 5) some plugins don't work with it - fine. But the volume and seek bars have disappeared :/ Why? I mean powerpanels are not compatible but how you all manage to use it then?

i do not use powerpanels, they are WSH panels. beta 5 not tested yet, always under beta 4

I'm using Beta 5 with no problems, all plugins working fine

You're right guys, I've checked my 1.1 and default 1.0 and there's no WSH volume and no WSH seekbar panels, could it happen because of my deletion of wsh_panels for a couple of foobar launches?
Br3tt, is it possible to copy&paste these two panels from default 1.0 or 1.1? I don't want to lose all my settings and tweaks  I tried copying and pasting panels from the layout menu but then the whole setup messes up

update: solved, but tips appreciated

It's a great config UI but it doesn't quite fit well with my library of 900+ albums. Scrolling through a long list just to playback an album is very painful.

IF only I can configure it to view just a full list of the album. When I double click / single click on an album, then only will the tracklist/playlist for that album will be displayed. Kinda like in IBIZA config.

Eg:
1) I click 'D' on the list 'A-Z'.
2) Display all albums sorted alphabetically and starts with 'D'.
3) I double click on a particular album - Dancemania SPEED SFX.
4) Display the tracklist for the album.

*That way I can save time scrolling through a long list of items. Better yet there is a small album art beside all album name.

So use the letters at the top, or type them into EL Playlist, or select it from the Artist List, or collapse all the groups in EL Playlist, or use the scroll bar...

That's the beauty of Br3tt's configs, there are always several ways to do the same thing and the hardest thing is just getting used to how it all works and what the fastest way is to use the config for you. I have over 600 albums and it works fine for me
