I've just updated my foobar to 9.1, last collumn_ui and browser.
I sill do not find how to display the genre and artists panels.

cwbowron, Could you complete your wiki page with some screenshots to explain how foo_browser may be configured.
Moreover, why is your signature not a link to that page? It should be possible in this forum, isn't it?

thanks, it works!
I had to reinstall collumn_ui ...

Now, it is possible to diplay the horizontal splitter for the browser panels only if the *Browser* playlist is selected?
Goal is to hide the browser panels for other playlists.

Great plugin. One question though:

How can I get the sorting to ignore case?

Like I have music from "At The Drive-In" and "At the Drive-In", but they show up as different artists because of the different way "the" is cased.

I know that I can do that by making everything uppercase, but I didn't want that either.

Thanks!

And what about the following as formatting string?

Code: [Select]
$caps2(%artist%)

That should capitalize every first letter of each word, without touching other caps. It's not perfect either, but I think it should help you in most cases.

I must say I haven't tried it for myself, but I don't think that is possible at this point. I don't think there's support in foo_columns_ui for that (yet).

Not perfect, but exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Hi all, I just re-question you about the problem i have with multiple tags (like genre in particular).
I would like the songs which have multiple genre appear in both genres .
This worked pretty well woth the previous version of foo_browser, and it was just written "genre" in the format panel. What must i write now ?
tks in advance

Now, in columns UI you can create and choose different layout presets. With the browser panels is quite easy to think to use this columns UI feature: different preset for different combinations of the panels. But it doesn't work because the dependancies are fixed in the list in the preferences page and are layout unaware. It would be the best integration with columns being able to set the dependances in columns UI layout page too, maybe with just a numbered order and it would be nice being able to assign the same order number to different panels with different tags at the same time.

occurs also twice by me. Then, I reset the panel to genre in the column_ui and it works.

I'm trying to get this sorting tag to work in foo_browser:

Quote from: Frank_Bicking on
To ignore the leading "The" ("The Beatles" is turned into "Beatles") use:

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


To put a leading "The" behind the artist tag ("The Beatles" is turned into "Beatles, The") use:

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



Is there any way you can make it so it says "The (artist)" but still sort it alphabetically by "(artist)" in the panel?

I allso tried to set genre browser from col_ui preferences but nothing happened. I can assing artist or album browser the same way without any problem.

I just wanted to say thank you for such a useful component. The ability to use multiple browser lists to dynamically filter my playlist on the fly has been one of the biggest reasons I have swtiched to foobar. Keep up the good work!

Are there any plans on extending the functionality of this component to work with shoutcast or other sources outside the regular media library?

Grats for your plugin, you did a great job. But, I was wondering if you could add a feature in your request list... The possibility to associate an action to the middle-click button.

It would be awesome

foo_browser run quite good by me.

But I sill have a huge performance problem: foobar takes 30 s to load (Startup time : 0:28.144223),  and then, foobar uses more than 100 MB in RAM !

(3 years old computer: duron 2 Ghz, 1 GB of RAM)

Do you think about performance improvement?
As said before, could it be possible to load the browser playlist somehow in order not to freeze the startup of foobar (like in another thread) ?

I've read through this thread (and forum for that matter) I dont know how many times, but I cant find a working conclusive answer to the whole "The" prefix issue.

Can somebody explain what exactly I need to do in the n00best way you can possibly explain, what and where to apply the code to make my artists browse panel appear like so:

Audioslave
The Aquabats
The Beatles
Catch 22
CAKE
The Mars Volta

The bolded for emphasis .

Haha i do apologise for my n00bness with fb2k, very impressed with it though thus far, and particularly this plugin.

Cheers

* multiple tags using %<tag>% like playlist tree

He was literally talking about it one post before you posted that question the first time.

I updated foo_browser from 1.1.4 to 1.1.7 and then Browser Panel strangely disappeared. I installed foobar 0.9.1, reinstalled it and reinstalled foo_ui_columns few times - but no, I still can't see Browser Panel in foo_ui_columns's Layout's Insert panel menu. And the best thing is that I replaced the old, working version of foo_browser with new, unworking one.

What should I do?

How do you install this after you put the DLL in your components dir?

You have to enable it in the Columns UI layout section.  Right-clicking around in there will allow you to add the pnels.
