Heh, seems this would be more appropriate thread for my two-part wishlist.

#1, ability to hide splitter borders. The bordes nerf attempts to make creative skins for foobar :P ( http://www.kotiposti.net/ihmemies/roina/foobar3.png )

#2, background images to different types of boxes, like albumlist, playlist etc.

Please, implement those two if possible, some day. Thanks in advance :)


I second both of these requests, especially the first one. But it's not just the splitters that are causing the borders, ColumnsUI inserts the 1 pixel hairline border between any two panels.. including two identical panels sitting next to each other with border=none. As for the second, most of the individual panels would probably need to be adjusted for the background which is mostly outside the ColumnsUI developer control, but it would be nice if ColumnsUI atleast facilitated watever backend hooks need to be handled. The playlist though, I think is a reasonable request but there have been a lot of features being requested lately like removing the titlebar for fullscreen. And since eye candy usually takes a back seat to functionality with foobar, transparent/bitmapped backgrounds will probably be a low priority.

I can't get my multimedia keys on my keyboard to work with columns ui. They work perfectly with the default ui, but with columns ui only play works (i.e pause, stop, next & prev does nothing). I searched a bit, but couldn't find any information about this.

EDIT: Using fb2k 0.9.2 & columns ui  0.1.3 beta 1v5


Maybe try rebinding your keys in: Prefrences -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Nope, that doesn't work. Actually the multimedia keys are not defined at all under keyboard shortcuts. In Default UI it works anyway. I think there used to be an option in fb2k 0.8.x "Use default multimedia keyboard support" or something like that, so I guess this is built in to 0.9 nowadays? It seems very odd that this stops working when you use Columns UI?

If you go to File> Preferences> General> Keyboard Shortcuts. Then click [Add New], then click on the "Key" field down at the bottom, then press a MM key on your keyboard.. does anything appear in the "Key" box?

If so, you should be able to setup a hotkey directly in foobar .. if you want to use the hotkey outside of foobar (change tracks while playing a game) be sure to check the box for "Global Hotkey"

If not, then either something is interrupting your keyboard such as drivers or a util try uninstalling any bundled apps or driver that came with your keyboard. Alternatively your keyboard might not use the standard windows scancodes for MM keys you might want to check your keyboard's manufacturer's website to see if there are any drivers or utils you need to install to use your MM keys under windows (but since you indicated the keys work fine with the default interface this is probably not the case).

I too would like both of those to be implemented, so, Third!

Id also like to add this request to the list; Yotsuya worded it better than i can so...

I have often tinkered around with a layout only to discover I need to promote/demote a panel to another splitter on the tree however I can find no way to do this other than removing the panel and re-adding it onto the desired branch of the tree. This can be really annoying if you are moving multiple trackinfo panels that contain script and font settings you spent a lot of time choosing.

Other preference sections, such as the "Context Menu" allow a user to drag an entry to virtually any position on the tree, would it be possible to replicate this behavior for the ColumnsUI layout config?

Hi,
I don't know if anyone around here has this problem too, but I think this isn't wanted. So I think this is kinda bug report.
When I start playing a stream and the option under "Networking -> enable dynamic track titles" is deactivated, the item in the playlist loses its title etc.
In v0.8 the playlist kept the title of the stream and i.e. in foo_uie_trackinfo the dynamic title was shown. This is how I want it. ^^

I found the problem of my mm keys not working. Yotsuya was right, thank you! It turned out that the kX drivers was "stealing" the keys for me. If anyone else has this problem, make sure Multimedia keyboard support is disabled. The volume keys still work but you can't get OSD.

Just a tiny suggestion: Could you make the default "Inactive selection background (no focus)" color in the "Playlist switcher" R=228, G=228, B=235, which is the corresponding default color for the regular playlist and looks much better than using the same gray as the UI elements.

If i create different layout presets and change between them columns ui seems to "forget" the exact layout settings. The sizes of the different splitters and panels are set to a kind of default after switching, so are all my custom configurations for track info and album art panel.

Pressing "save all" after setting up and switching between the different layout presets doesn't help.

Or are the panels responsible for this problem? Maybe it has something to do with the way f2k is saving the configs?

I have noticed this behavior too I think it might be a bug somewhere. Foobar appears to save a lot of stuff about panel layout and settings when it exits. I think that [Save All] button only refers to the information on the preference tabs, not the settings for the panels themselves. The workaround I've come up with is to pick a layout, set it up exactly as I want it, then restart foobar. After the restart confirm your settings should have been saved, move to the next layout and repeat. Dont forget to restart foobar after changing each layout because if you switch to another layout any recent changes to your existing layout will be lost.

I have a "noobie" question (I started using ColumnsUI a few days ago):

When I import fcs file, isn't it supposed to import everything, including the layout?
For me, it imports columns, title formatting and colors into the currently selected layout, so I need to rearrange/build the layout from scratch, and then to import fcs if I want to use it. Am I missing some settings or that's how it should work?

Is there any version out that supports foobar v0.9.2?

Thanks

That's how it's supposed to work. That's why people post their layouts along with (in some cases) screenshots of the layout preferences page.

hi,
I have a little suggestion for further releases of columns_ui.
The "Auto Hide" function for panels is a nice idea, but there should also be a pin needle (in caption) to hold a panel if wanted by user...

Is there a setting to allow the playlist to shift focus to the playlist which is being added to from another playlist.  In other words, if I add a track from playlist A to playlist B, I want foobar to swith focus to playlist B.

Dear musicmusic


I had a look at the feature requests list on your pages and I didn't see a key one (at least for me):

will you ever add the ability to have at least a second, independent playlist view?

Maybe we could use it as the old history panel or even as a way to show the queue content or anything else.

Thanks.

Is it possible to have multiple column configurations (ie all settings on Display>Columns UI>Playlist View) for each preset?

At the moment I can't define different column widths for a mini and a fullscreen preset, for example. Unless I'm missing something obvious..

What has happened with the stop icon? It works, except not in Foobar. 




EDIT: fixed typo

Exporting entire layouts (along with configs) would be amazing.

May be a few dependancy problems, but you could have it generate a list of the used components, too.

What was the reason for changing the default buttons? Personally I think the new ones are ugly and perfer the older set. Is there a way to enable the older buttons?

I doubt it, but there are tonnes of nice buttons in the upload section.

I have become so acustomed to the default ones. Think there is a download for the default set? If not I will just switch back to the older version.

Suggestion: ability to customize name of newly created playlist.
