Is it possible to show total playtime of an album in the grouping? - Maybe even sort by it?

good idea...
musicmusic, what you say? 
can you add this feature?
It's slightly complicated at the moment, but once I tackle %group_index%/%group_count% there will be some better tracking of group size changes so maybe then it will be less complicated to implement

ok... thx for response.
i'm looking forward to it

Hmm.. I only changed the CPU priority, it shouldn't make things noticeably slower unless something else with higher priority is eating the CPU. Can you keep an eye on CPU usage and see if there is anything significant? Also can you try disabling reflections? Or maybe you have some huge artwork images for some files and it is related to that? I would prefer not to make a setting for this unless absolutely necessary..

It's weird as it seems like your component is the only thing that is doing anything significant in foobar during the stalling period. I don't use complicated DSP and stuffs. My computer is a Core 2 4300 with 2GB RAM, so I don't think it's that slow. Here's a screenshot of threads tab when it's stalled:

The red and green should mean that it is reading different files' artwork. (It will read four at once). Is it definite this started with 0.3.3.x?

Maybe you scrolled down somewhat and then back up? The displayed files' artwork could be somewhere at the back of the queue then, I can change the logic a bit if that is the case.

Yes, green is newly created threads and read are closing down threads. Typically I see four newly created threaded of columns UI dll when it reads artworks. When it's stuck I see more than 4 green ones like the pic I posted. Some threads are somehow stuck I guess.

Yes, pretty sure.

Not really. AFAICT it's random.

Idea for improvment:
Currently artworks are not cached between playlists, can you make them cached, too?

Bug
When the album tag isn't present Columns UI doesn't display the correct cover art. For some reason it picks a cover with a name that contains a dot. For example t.est.jpg. If more than one cover has a dot in the name it selects in alphabetical order.

If the album tag IS present and no cover is found the correct no-cover image is displayed.

any way.

More than four just means that process explorer is not keeping up, green is threads created in past two seconds or something so it is doing something.

If that's the case, I can add a thread priority option, so you can check if it does make a difference.

Nothing is cached at all between playlists with NG Playlist, I don't plan on changing that (causes resource usage build up over time etc.).

How are things configured on the artwork tab in settings?

You have the correct URL. If you provide a tracert it may give some insight into the problem..

Yes, but as these URL can work two months ago I thought it could be a temporary client/provider problem rather than a censorial issue.

If you see this message (), I can confirm you the display bug with vertical/horizontal splitter when using foobar2000 AND Logitech Setpoint.
If I close Setpoint, I have no display problem anymore.

Infos: Vista Premium 64 bits + Logitech Setpoint 64 bits (MX Revolution) 4.60 + Foobar 0.9.5.4 + Columns UI 0.3.3.2

ps: filters + "type as you find" is a very great combination. I now don't use albumlist anymore. Thank you for this feature !

Blah! So it wasn't just XP x64. Did you install SP1 as well?

I found a display bug related to grouping. If I have artwork displayed in groups and then I go to the Grouping preferences and hide the groups for the currently active playlist, then the artwork correctly disappears but the blank column header remains causing the other column titles to be misaligned with their respective items. Activating another playlist and returning to the original playlist rectifies the problem. Happens with autosizing on or off.

Well, properly I assume.

Front
...album art\%album%

The other two boxes are empty.
And the checkbox I can't even figure out what it's for. Nothing changes if I check it or not.

If the album field is not present, that will result in:

...album art\?

And ? is similar to *, it means any single character..

something like [...album art\%album%] or $if(%album%,...album art\%album%) should work.

Yes, I have reinstalled Vista, then I installed SP1.
Unfortunately you need Microsoft to fix their OS.. you can try this update, it's the only post SP1 one for the wow64 layer that I could find:

musicmusic: If you haven't already fixed it, the arrows that show the sort direction are incorrect (at least compared to explorer). Nothing important though
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

In a similar vein, if one selects all the items in a playlist and then presses home, the first item in the playlist will not be selected unless some other item in the playlist had previously been selected. Similarly with end.

Hello!
Does any of you could give me more possibilities of what I can write as "column name" in the playlist view configuration? I mean, like [%date%], [%tracknumber%] etc....

I need particularly something like:
1.[folder_name] - something that shows me the name of the folder the given mp3 is in.
2.[the_whole_playlist_track_number] - it was before but suddenly I do not have this option - I want to have the whole playlist with numbers from 1 to up to the size of the playlist.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
Theriel

I've done that. After a long processing of installation (mail, password, all this stuff), and a restart, I've seen NO changes. :/
But it's not a major problem (for me), because I prefer to use XP.

OK, it was just a stab in the dark. The only solutions then are to not use SetPoint (or those other apps), or to use a 32-bit version of Windows.
