Columns UI

@Musicmusic:
Sorry if this has been requested before, but is there any chance you will implement "toggle area" for vertical splitter so we can double click on the caption to hide or show a panel?

EDIT: NVM, I asked something that is already in there. Silly me.

Is it possible to use multiple lines of text per item in the NG playlist? I tried modifying the code for a column under:
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab> "Scripts" Subtab> "Display Sub Subtab
But did not have any luck with $crlf() or $char(10), these functions resulted in a character resembling an equals sign.

Hi!

I just upgraded to newest foobar version and from foo_ui_columns-0.2_beta_1 to foo_ui_columns-0.3_beta_1_preview_4. The Mouse wheel action for the volume slider has changed. Now scrolling down increases volume. Is this a bug or intended behaviour? Is there an option to change it?

1. It took me a while to realize that the contents of the Filter Results playlist is automatically moved to the (Playback) playlist whenever I change the Filter view while it's playing. Thanks for all your work on Filter, but thanks in particular for adding that feature.

2. Could you make the edit fields in the Filter tab show up like that of the Grouping tab in NG playlist, to make it easier to edit more complex titleformatting?

3. There's some (but not all) albums which aren't sorted properly when I drop them into the playlist switcher from a Filter panel. See the screenshot below:

2. It is really like that to discourage you from entering complex scripts  Sorry.
3. Hmm, yes that needs to be fixed on Filter Panel's side so it sorts it the same way as when it adds it to a playlist. Thanks for the report.

musicmusic, if I e.g. have a group, you extend it with "s" for the plural "All groups". I have a group "Small tracks", result is "small trackss"
Did you check what happens if there is only one entry in the Filter Panel? So, entering the plural form in the settings won't work. If you want I can pluralise the column title etc.

Musicmusic, can we have an option to disable the vertical scrollbar for eye candy reasons? For me, the mouse wheel or keyboard is enough.
I don't have an option for this in any panel, so Filter Panel seems a bit random of a place to start. Even if you don't interact with it, it is a visible indication of your scroll position and how much you can scroll by.

It's not possible, sorry.

Sorry, that was unintended. I'll change it back for the volume toolbar in next build. Thanks for the report.

I would like to request that NG/Columns settings remain independent of each other. For instance, in one instance I have two playlists, one for multipurpose, and the other is a NG which is crowded in with two filter panels. The crowded is difficult to see anything, while I would like to have the same fields in my 'open space' one. Thank you!

MusicMusic, can we have the option to change color for background and separators?
As you see below, i'm currently using foo_uie_panel_splitter for changing color of splitter but it's just not the same

Filter Panel, sorting question:

I have classical music and non-classical music. I have a Composer field, I only want to have my classical music displayed there, classical is detected by the folder name. (The $substr(,999) thing is for getting the surname only):

Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%path%,Klassik),$if(%composer%,$substr(%composer%,$add($strrchr(%composer%,' '),1),999),$if3(%album_artist%,%artist%,<not set>)),)

It displays the part which does not match $strstr as a blank line under the "All" line. I can't really NOT display stuff, I can just group stuff, right?

I then tried to put all stuff to the end, e.g. by setting "zzzzz" behind the last comma. This is ugly, but works. Why don't higher ansi chars like "|" or "»" work? They get sorted to the beginning. Any other idea?

Hi,
The settings will remain unified. But I think before adding a "Hide when grouped" option for the columns was discussed. How does that sound?

Yes making more colour and fonts configurable is definitely on the cards with the new config page. I'll note your request.

Would a "Hide empty items" option make you happy?

Oh, and unless anyone can tell me otherwise, I am going to remove support for "Icon" artwork, since it doesn't seem to be anything particularly useful.

Sorry, but what does "Hide when grouped" mean?

Columns UI

Reply #4137 –
Sorry, some confusion here. I meant the option to put it at the bottom, not the last option in your list. I didn't see that as being that useful.

So I can add an option to hide the "All" node, but probably I will add the option to hide nodes with empty labels first.

sounds awesome MM, I would also like to be able to have multiple nested groups that i can either expand one sub node or all nodes under one group if that makes sense


eg

+artist
-artist
_____- \album +\cd1
____________ +\cd2
_____+ \album
_____+ \album
+artist

Not too important. I think two checkboxes "Hide empty items" and "hide 'all' node" would be great.

quick request: fix ctrl+tab and ctrl+shft+tab functionality for switching tabs (broken since foobar 9.5 or whenever).

In response to this: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=62102 I suppose 

Hello Musicmusic,
A request: I've been an avid fan of Columns UI for a while now and I remember in Foobar 0.8.3 the Album List and Album List panel used to have an option to sort via a custom string, but there was just one custom sort string for many view options. Do you think it's possible to implement this option again, perhaps for each album list view ? I asked for something similar in the Facets plugin here, but the response wasn't exactly positive. I've started tagging my music with an artist sort tag so proper names and "the" bands can be sorted properly (along with "a," "L'," etc.).

An issue?: I'm using the 0.3. beta 1 preview 4 with ChronFlow 0.2.0d and sometimes there will be a black rectangle over the right third of the panel that I can remove by adding a panel to columns UI. If I remove the newly added panel the black rectangle will NOT return immediately.

not sure if I am going crazy or not, but I am trying to work out how to display the file size of a playlist in the playlist switcher... this is of particular interest when sending files to my ipod with dop, I only have a 1gb shuffle so limited for space... it seems very trial an error to find out when its full..

anyone have any ideas for showing the MB or GB of a playlist... looked in title formatting and cwb hooks all to no avail, I know its possible in the default ui now but thats not a good enough reason for me to use it

perhaps this can be added MM, I dont imagine it should be too hard...

from memory I was not a big fan of that component..

I for one consider foo_uie_playlists_dropdown to be a solid component and habitually use it in a variety of environments including Linux, MacOS, and many different languages without problem. If you are having specific issues with it I suggest you visit the discussion thread for that component to get the issue resolved. Why bother developer of Columns UI to re-implement and support an already well-supported and widely used component?

Did you just draw album list ..?

Anyway, with regards to NG Playlist it seems like two requests:
-Ability to expand and collapse groups
-Ability to have differing levels of groups within the same playlist (i.e. for your CD1/CD2 groups).

These are relatively major features and so I don't plan to make major changes there at the moment.

It's complicated. Columns UI and the Panel API was kinda designed on the old behaviour of foobar2000. I can implement this but it would require all panel components to be modified for it to actually have an effect within those panels.

I didn't write the core of album list panel, that just came from some version of the regular album list. Probably full custom sorting may be tricky due to multi-value fields. An option though to ignore certain leading words is more feasible, but I am not exactly adding feature to album list panel at the moment.

Doesn't sound like much to do with me.

I added a %filesize% field, in bytes, for next version. You could use some title formatting to convert it to megabytes, or I could add another field in a nice format..

Well I did want to write a new playlist switcher panel but other things need to be done first.

awesome thx MM, I read a while back you were thinking about a playlist switcher rewrite which was why I mentioned my commends. filesize will siffuce.. cheers.

in regards to the grouping, is it also possible to hide a groups line if the is no match on a particular level... eg not all my albums are tagged with disc numbers as to me there is no point for a single disc album to be marked 1/1 so in this case the grouping line is not required but. I put the fields surrounded by [] to see if that would work but it still shows the grouping line... not sure how hard that would be but that would really help things nicely///

thx again... looking forward to the next release to play with..

album list panel custom sort string

I figured it'd be more feasible under facets since the component uses one string at a time anyway. As Frank said in his topic, you might display artist but be sorting by tracknumber(purposefully or accidently). In my naming schema, Artist Sort is the only field that has values you can't grab with any kind of script because it includes people's names that you would sort under last name. I use Album Sort and Title Sort and I am able to use these in the playlist thanks to the custom sort option there  .

It's been a while since I've had the option of sorting this way but even back then, I wasn't perfectly satisfied with my foobar due to layout  Is the source for the Album List or Album List Panel available? I know a friend who does C++ and other things who might want to take a crack at it. Otherwise, I will happily wait.
