And if i minimize foobar and i place the mous above the icon it only tells me the name of the current sang but not artist and album...is there any way to get it working this way ?


look at the "notification area" tab under the columns UI preferences. if you're not sure what to enter, main menu>help>title formatting help.

@nickdc, i don't think so.

@Xyzzy, it's possible using panel stack splitter. you can use standard foobar title formatting functions such as $ifgreater with special PSS variables such as %_width% and %_height% to show/hide panels. it can be a bit daunting at first though.

Thanks for the clue. You mean setting up a Per Second script examining %ps_width%/%ps_height% and using $showpanel? Or is there some event messaging possible?

no need for "per second", just the standard "per track" tab will do. it gets called whenever the window is resized.

Depends on where you want to see them. Among other possibilities you can:

1. Add an album art panel to your Layout (Preferences > Display > Columns UI, Tab Layout)
2. Configure the playlist to group by album and add an artwork column (Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Playlist View, Tab General)

I recently installed this component and are... well, having difficulty understanding how to use it, to say the least. I installed it along with EsPlaylist, Panel Stack Splitter & the Album list panel. I think the multitude of new options might be what's putting me off.

Do most people use the 'live editing' option when changing their layout, or what? I've been reading the documentation and are still a bit confused. Little steps, I suppose.

I checked the "display artwork on groups" and got the wiev above,and thats fine.

But what is the "artwork tab" for and how to configure it?

Artwork tab is for "artwork view" panel

Hi,

I'm currently using columnsUI and was wondering if there was a way to change playlist viewers when on different playlists.

For examples for my "Albums" playlists I would like to use ESPlaylists or ELPlaylists. However when I switch my "Singles" or "Tracks without ReplayGain" playlist, I would prefer to switch to NGPlaylists, or a different ELPlaylist configuration.

Is there anyway this is possible?

Thanks

This is not possible. However, you can make several layouts (one for each playlist viewer) and switch between them through View->Layout, or with keyboard shortcuts.

Columns UI

you don't have to create multiple layouts. there are several ways round this...

a) using NGPLaylist, you can show/hide columns using filters (preferences>display>columns UI>playlist view>columns tab>options tab>playlist filters)
b) you could have multiple instances of EsPlaylist in a tab stack but you'd have to switch manually.

EDIT: EsPlaylist has it's own filters.
c) ELPlaylist also has filters (found on the grouping tab)

I've been working on getting my entire foobar set-up to stick with a picture i select. So far I've gotten a lot of the panels to be transparent (ELplaylist and panel stack splitter), but as for the columnsUI specific things (tab stack, artwork view, spectrum analyser, item details, etc.) I don't know how to make their backgrounds be transparent. Is there a way for me to code transparency in to any of these?

Also, if there's no way to code transparency in certain components (panel stack, for example) could someone give me some alternatives that can?
Thanks

you can't do anything about a tab stack. the alternative is to code mock "tabs" in panel stack splitter using buttons to show/hide panels when they are clicked.

for the artwork panel / item details, you can script replacements in PSS or WSH panel mod.

ok, thanks. I found your artwork script for WSH, and am loving it.  Looks like it's time to hit the code for me.
By the way, is there a reference for all the commands that can be used in these specific scripting environments?

the components do have good documentation....

panel stack splitter contains a readme containing all of it's own special functions/variables.

WSH panel mod also has a whole "docs" subfolder which you should check out (callbacks and interfaces are the most relevant). of course this only contains WSH panel mod specific features and how to access them. you then have standard jscript at your disposal...

hi,
I've registered this forum before but I have no idea which email adress or nickname..

anyway, I have problems with MM keys. Actually, It works fine with default interface but not with Columns UI

-only Play/pause key is problematic
-I tried to manually bind the key, doesnt work.
-There is no manual binding in Foobar menu now.
-Tried other MM keys; works with Columns UI
-ALL MM keys works on Default UI
-My keyboard is Logitech Wave
-I use setpoint CC ver. 4.80.103, driver ver. 4.82.11


I read about 5 topics in this forums about this but none could solve my problem. Is there a way to fix this ?

addendum: OS is 7 64-bit, using realtek ALC889a chip..

is there any fix for this ? i cannot post to support forum because its a 3rd party component and the cause of the error is columnsUI not foobar itself :\

hi,
Can anybody tell me please, if there is any way how to change the color of the separator or completely remove it?

The only one way how was I able to make it invisible was to change color of all elements to RGB 240,240.240 - to mahe a color like the separator.

Using latest version of Foobar, win 7 x64, ui columns,...

To get foobar to play nice with SetPoint, find this file:
C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPoint\players.ini

Then add this:
Code: [Select]
foobar2000=wac,foobar2000.exe,
{E7076D1C-A7BF-4f39-B771-BCBE88F2A2A8},
xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,Foobar2000

is there a full list of all the formatting codes for columns ui? I can't find it anywhere

How come when I try to display a song's lyrics in the item details panel, it has really large line spacing? It spaces the lines out like 3 or 4 times what it should be.

I am having problems getting the album art panel in Columns UI to display any formats of image other than Jpeg, however if I were to resave a png for example as a jpeg it will display it.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is occurring? Thanks in advance

I am also having this problem.  It seems to have happened after updating to 3.8.6.  At first I thought it was outdated libpng/zlib libraries, but updating them hasn't fixed it.  If I downgrade to version 3.8.3, it displays PNG files fine, however.
