Hello!

I use foobar 0.9.5 and the latest alpha of CUI.

If I try to replace the play, stop, pause, etc icons (right click on it, 'customize'...) with customized ones, they just disappear. Can anyone help me?

You need zlib1.dll & libpng13.dll.

After playing around with the new preview version for a while I got an idea...

You should add the option to save and load color schemes directly in the "Colours and Fonts" menu. This way all future layout creators could utilize these colors instead of hardcoding different color scemes.

To make this easier perhaps having the option of retrieving those colors in any of the scripts would be good, not only in the global style script. As I understand you can get the colors with for example %_back%, %_selected_back% etc. but only in the global style script.

Also I think a couple of additional colors would be useful, to be used for whatever the layout creator want to use them for.


Anyway, I think this would be a great addition to Columns UI that would make things a lot easier! I hope you'll consider adding it!

awesome stuff MM, loving the colour stuff now works perfectly for my needs... just need to be able to change the frames of the filters and the looks department is sorted for me
I don't mind adding that. My plan is to finish alpha 11, then just reversion this as 0.3 beta/RC or something with a few additions like your one.

- foobar 0.9.5 version has an album list browser with both pick-list for the sort type and filter field.
Any such evolution planned for album list ?
You can add a filter field with the beta version of album list panel. I do not have any such plan to add a drop down for the view.

how to do that ?
It's not possible, sorry.

The preview version looks nice, musicmusic. A small question though: Will you update the default icons of the toolbar to the new 0.9.5 icons?
Why?

It's not working yet, but you will be able to export the colour settings into an FCL file.

But, with regards to the column display scripts the only thing you can change there is the text colour. As you can restore the colour (with "$rgb()") to what was set in the style script or prefs page,  it's not actually that useful, unless you can elaborate as to your planned use. I believe those fields should be available in the column style scripts - it should be including changes from the global style script. I may add them to the global variables script.

Nope, there won't be any "Other Colour 1" etc., sorry.

Why?
To keep in line with the general design of foobar... Well it doesn't matter really, I was just wondering if I was going to have to find some way of extracting them myself or I could just wait for you to do it.

About the color stuff I suggested, I was more thinking of just a dropdown list of color schemes independent of whatever you save in an FCL, so you can just quickly switch colors, kind of like the color presets for the Default UI. My two other suggestions (easier to use these preset colors in your scripts and a few additional colors) ties in with this to allow you to create more advanced color independent FCLs. As you might know, for previous versions of Columns UI a lot of FCLs used colors set in code, this might remove the need for that.

Also, I was wondering, doesn't custom style scripts work for the NG playlist yet? Because I can't get any $set_style() functions to work.

This may have been mentioned before, and may actually be working as intended, but I thought I'd list this minor bug / annoyance I've noticed with the new versions (just switched back to Columns UI - so much better than PanelsUI).

The "Active Item Frame" that shows up over the selected item won't actually show up until you move the selection with the keyboard.  Then once it's there it'll follow mouse clicks around, until the window loses focus.  Then it disappears again, and you have to use the keyboard arrows to get it back. 

I also thought it might be a good idea to have the frame encompass multiple item selections (top of the frame above the first item row, bottom below the last in a given selection).  I don't know how much ass-pain that would be to implement, just a thought I had.

I really like the new Columns UI enhancements - keep up the good work!

Hi, is there a way to add a thin vertical line in a playlist, going from the playlist column titles to the bottom (like in iTunes)?

Thanks

Have you explored using $set_style(frame-left,1,$rgb(),) or $set_style(fram-right,1,$rgb(),) under:

(For lines on all columns)
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist View> "Globals" Tab> "Style" Subtab

-or-

(For a line on a specific column)
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab> "Style" Subtab

Hi musicmusic!

I know there have been alot of requests ever since the last release and i believe You have a list of things to work on Yourself but i'd liike to add a thought: would it be difficult to implement a an option where people can either enable or disable the switching playlist lines when multiple tabs are enabled? i mean, the line where the active playlist is located is always at the bottom and it switches lines whenever i activate another one. Since i have several lines of playlist tabs and the lines always switch, i have to search for the playlist i want everytime anew, You know.
Anyhow, great great, great plugin! Love it! Awesome work.

You're right, it's not working in the column scripts. It's fixed for the next version, thanks for the report.

Intended. It obeys the system-wide setting and should behave the same as Windows Explorer, unless you have 'Playback follows cursor' enabled.

It's a keyboard navigation hint, so that behaviour wouldn't make any sense.

Unfortunately I am just using the standard tab control which infallibly behaves like that. Sorry.

In Filter Panel what kind of formating can be used for Fields??As I see TAGZ is not working.

Can you make the Field configuration similar to Columns configuration, i mean that the displayed text to be configarable with TAGZ strings and separatelly Field that should be written for inline editing.

example:
for Album Field
text to display: %date%[ - %album%]  --good for sorting the albums by date
field to edit: Album

It would be lovelly!!!

Sorry for my poor english.

The current version only allows fields to be entered. The next version of Columns UI will allow entering titleformatting scripts as well, however this will not be compatible with inline editing.

Don't get me started  Next version will be alpha 11 final then after some clean-up I will just jump straight to 0.3 RC. In the future I will try and implement incremental changes (0.3.1, 0.3.2) rather than permanent alpha cycles.

under NG Playlist, you have album art listed...i assume that means a small album art image in the play list?

Columns UI

alpha 11 final released.

You will need to reconfigure the filter panel on first use.

You can now use the previously mentioned field remappings in the filter panel (e.g. "Album Artist;Artist") or alternatively title formatting. Using title formatting has the disadvantages of being incompatible with inline metadata editing, not supporting multiple values per field, and being slower.

Yay for field remappings!

Great release, musicmusic! Finally my NG Playlist looks exactly the same as my normal playlist.

Now, there seems to be a bug with "Colours and Fonts": "Selected item" uses the "Item" colour, and it can't be changed.

Is support for multiple field values implemented yet?
For now such construction works
Code: [Select]
$if($meta_test(style),$meta(style,$char(13)),Unknown Style)

But it feels like "undocumented feature".

Feature request.
"Tag not found" value for filter panels. To avoid "?" values and strings like one in this post.
