one question: is it or will it be possible to have different kinds of layouts (ie colums and grouping) in different playlists?

id like to have a playlist for full albums, that will look juste like the ng playlist view (one line for the album and only tracks names below), and one for single tracks with artist, album, title, etc... on every line.

I would prefer to do it under columns ui but if its possible under ng playlist it would be fine.

By the way i managed to do it with default ui, but i could only have different kinds of playlist layouts for the same playlist (using component tabs instead of playlist tabs). Not that great....(and I prefer like columns ui)

Anybody can help please? Thks and thanks musicmusic for the good job

Re: The filter panel

Lovely component.

Are there any plans to add more than one (sortable; asc/des) column to a filter panel. Which could include a %rating% column using graphical stars, similar to how it is implemented in the Facets component? If there are no such plans, consider it a request.

EDIT: I see this is in the suggestions section of your wiki. It only differs with my suggestion in relation to the unique way it would handle the %rating% tags, ala Facets.

Try Tabbed Panel Modified component out.
Add one Album View tab with your NGPlaylist and another tab for Single View with columns playlist.
Then simply filter some columns from playlists with "Singles*" in the title and navigate from tab #1 to #2.

Should do the trick!

Navigator UI by Lyx does the job for columns UI with -s- switch in playlist name. Search the forum or Google for it (both gives the forum topic).

For the NG Playlist I'm tweaking Navigator UI 2.0 alpha little by little. You can get it here.

Thanks for considering those musicmusic

Just a (possibly unneeded) clarification about my suggestion for a rating column. I'm using the "classic" columns playlist view and I added a rating column myself. Now I use $repeat(*,%rating%) in there. But of course some nice symbols would look much better there. So please consider making something like that possible in both playlist views.

Thanks for listening, and keep up the great work
Hi, I do not really plan on adding any new features to the Columns Playlist. NG Playlist will catch up at some point.

What font are you using? $char(9733) and $char(9734) (??) work OK on my Vista with either Tahoma or Segoe UI.

thanks for Filter panel, musicmusic! Works really fast with 9000 tracks collection. I have few issues with it. Single clicking on other than now playing Filter item replaces whole playback queue and "Activate now playing" feature loses it's functionality. is it possible to do something about it?
Yes.. I can add an option to disable auto-send, and/or find a solution to the overwrite-playing-playlist problem. That would take some thinking about though.

- NG Playlist: ticker to hide columns title (as we used to be able to in playlist view)
Yes I will port most/all of the features from Columns Playlist to NG Playlist eventually

Quote from: CMS on
- Filter: whenever I "browse" the filter panel, it brings up (focuses on) the Filter playlist... Ticker to enable/disable focus on filter playlist ?
Yes I will add that at some point.

Edit@4h10 (Paris Time): Just thought that, in NG Playlist, it would be very handy to be able to collapse/expand the different groups we created. I mean, I created two groups, one for the artist, and one for the album title. It would be great to navigate through our library like that, just open an artist, an album, choose your song...and that's it !
I guess that's VERY complicated to implement... but hey, never know.
That sounds like album list with columns  But it's outside of the scope of my plans for NG Playlist ATM, sorry.

For columns you can do it with playlist filters on the edit column dialog. The list of playlists is semi-colon separated and you can use wildcards.

For groupings: not yet.

That's ok. When NG gets the same features as CP I'll gladly use that

I'm using Calibri. I'm fine with using Segoe UI instead but it doesn't display those characters for me, just a square box. I don't see those in the Windows character map tool either. I'm using XP though so maybe I'm using an older version of Segoe. I'll try to find a different version. Thanks

It doesn't appear in my Character Map either but it still works. I don't really know why exactly though it's not in Character Map. My Segoe UI reports itself as version 5.00.

you can use calibri star font...
get it here: http://www.markwheeler.net/extra.php
and the direct link

i use this font in CUI rating column and normal calibri as system font (patched with styler)
or, when i play with NG i use calibir star (it doesn't at the moment customize columns).

sorry my english
more or less, minus is best

A normal way for getting those symbol is install Japanese language support (or Eastern language support, I can't pinpoint it as I don't have XP over here any more) in Regional and Language Settings.

%playlist_name% works fine in grouping strings. Looks like unintended useful feature =)

Suggestion already. Double-clicking on entry in filter panel focuses on filter playlist and starts playback for it.

for example: JRiver Media Center doesn't create any visible playlist while browsing it's genres/artists panel. It adds current playing stuff to a static "Playing Now" playlist.

Well, I can't really change the mechanisms of the playlists themselves, that's handled by the core.

I have thought of some tricks to fix this anyway

Hi, I'm finding the new Filter panel really useful, it's already more than foo_browser ever was.

One feature I'd like to see implemented is drag and drop support; ie. Dragging an Artist or Album into/onto a playlist from the Filter window. This would be really neat for building playlists quickly.

The drag 'n' drop support in NG playlist is great, but I think it would be slightly more user friendly if it was possible to begin dragging at any point on a row (not just from the first column). I don't know if this is a limitation of the ListView32 control, but I've seen it in 'other' interfaces, and in Windows Explorer, so it's gotta be possible. Also, multiselection of rows using the shift key doesn't work.

It would also be neat to have a transparent preview of what's being dragged follow the cursor, like in windows explorer, or WMP 11, it helps the user remember what they're dragging when they're deciding where to drop it

0.2.1 alpha 4 released

See changelog for changes. Note: I added inline tagging to Filter Panel, but please remember this is an alpha version before you go masstagging everything  Also, I guess someone will want to know how it deals with multiple field values. It's relatively simple: it replaces the value you're editing. You can't add new values from the Filter Panel itself.

It should do. But it only works if you select the items first.

The only version of Columns UI that used SysListView32 for the playlist was before the first public release

Yes.. fixed in alpha 4

Sometimes columns are not auto-sized after changing playlists. It seems like it happens quite randomly  Just turn on "Playlist Manager" and click on random playlists - sometimes the columns are auto-sized, and sometimes not...
Anyway, thanks for another great release!

awesome update looking forward to having a play, especially the inline meta stuff  great work

you mention in the change log that this works with the filter component and NG playlist yet I have been unable to get inline editing working, I suspect it has something to do with my existing columns script left over as all of the colour etc is being inherited from that.

your thoughts are appreciated.

Oh, didn't know there are grouping level. Another suggestion then. If grouping script returns empty string correspondent grouping level is disabled.

Hello

I have one suggestion for the filter panels.
Could there be separate options for sending files to filter playlist  and focusing this playlist? So that I could quickly find some tracks I want to add to active playlist (no focus change ) and when double clicked preview them (play in filter playlist, no focus change) and finally add to my initial playlist 

I guess that little things like keyboard shortcuts support or configurable mouse actions are on the road map.


It's may first post here so

Thanks for a great component!!

For the Filter Panel it should "just work". For the NG Playlist, you need to do the same stuff as for Columns Playlist:
-Set the "Linked Field" setting on your columns
-Set the "Mouse activated inline metafield editing" option to enabled (you can ignore the 'enabled, windows' option and just use 'enabled, columns ui')

Probably I will just add normal playlist filters to deal with this

I could put "Add to active playlist" in contextmenu.

I could maybe add an option to prevent activating the playlist on "send and play" but I'm not convinced it's necessary?

changing the font does nothing to NG playlist... only place i can see to change it is in the columns playlist view > colours and fonts > playlist.. i change it and nothing happens... is this a bug?

also there is no where to change the font size for filter, that would be cool, inline meta editing is working like a charm, I have simplified my script now and it runs much better
