Hi, thank you, I founded it... but did not find the answer... it looks like answers where made for the previous settings inferface...

So my question is still available:
The default sort setting is on the folder path.
How can I switch to artist / album / tracknumber ?

Thank you

Pat

file>preferences>shell integration>"sort incoming files by"

Code: [Select]
%album artist%|%album%|%discnumber%|%tracknumber%|%title%


but if you use columns UI filters, that will also have it's own "sort incoming files by". (preferences>display>columns UI>filters)

Feature Request / Question

Is there any possibility to browse my "all music" playlist with Ng Playlist by letter?
When Ng Playlist is active I just want to type "s" for setting the cursor to the first artist with a "s" at the beginning.

I need this because I'm trying to assemble a htpc "skin" for foobar that I want to control with my keyboard...
I'm using the album art feature in NG - Playlist so I don't want to use columns playlist.

Thanks in Advance

Hi!
I'm trying to mod my ui_columns foobar, but I'm having some problems. Well, I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is possible, but I think I've seen screenshots of such.
http://i10.aijaa.com/b/00437/5839091.png
Here's what it looks like now. However, I'm not satisfied at all with the title bar, scroll bar and the borders of the window, is there any way to change/remove them, so that it's just a black box?
Also, another question, about the columns of the playlist. What do I need to make it look like original foobar's playing -column? The one that shows an arrow if the song is playing currently or a number showing its place in the queue.

ColumnsUI --> Filter panel

Hi!

'm quite new to foobar and ColumnsUI, but managed the most things until the problem which I have with the "Filter-Panel" under ColumnsUI:

Is there a way to get both, "album  artist" and "artist" displayed?

Because if I use the setting "album artist,artist" (as preconfigured), I'm only getting "VA" (which I use for samplers in "album artist" tags),
but not the single entries from "artist"-tags anymore.

It would be great if both would be displayed in the according filter-panel, because I listen a lot to classical music, and have tons of "samplers",
and these only show as "VA", but the contained "Artists" are not displayed.

If I use "artist" only, the same thing happens, but vice versa. I could select every single artist now, but don't have a chance to select the complete (sampler-)album anymore ...

So, if someone could point me to a solution, I'd be very grateful ...

THX
Harald

Discussed at least here
In your example, typefind (set to %artist%) would be best bet


Thank you for directing me to this thread, it's a pity that it's not possible.
Maybe musicmusic will implement it in future versions of columns UI.

Using trackartist may be what you want. It is not a field that you use to add/edit information. It is available to you when foobar sees data in both the albumartist field and artist field and their value is different.

To achieve this, i use an 'invisible' first column. Right after the album art.
It has a width of 0 pixel and you can use in scripts/display something like %album artist% or %artist% or $stripprefix(%artist%) ...

Hi Terry!

Thank you for your kind help, but ... I've tried that one too, but without luck ...

It seems that there is no way on showing both Tags at the same time.
Maybe there is a workaround, but I haven#'t found it till now.

You could use title formatting instead e.g. %album artist%[ - %track artist%]. But it won't split tags separated with ;

Hi all,

I'm a loooong time fb2k user.. but only just got round to using columns UI today!

My theme so far:


Got stuck on a few things that I'm hoping someone could help me with:

1) How do I make the filter boxes along the top (genre, artist, album) non-editable, as at the moment I can change the artist names for example if I click, and then click again on any item on the artist filter list

2) How do I put a search text box above each of the filter boxes? I realise that there is an inline search thing already there, ie. click on one of the filter boxes and start typing, but I much prefer to see what I have typed in case of mis-types

3) Now this is the mil $ question.... the "artist" filter box it is set as "Artist;Album Artist" in Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI -> Filter, which (I think) checks to see the "Artist" tag, and if its not there then uses "Album Artist" tag..... now what I wanted to do is to populate that filter list with all the "artist" tags (as it does now) AND also the "featuring" custom tag I have implemented into my music collection (have set it to multiple values allowed, just like the "artist" tag) in one list.... so for example if I select "A Tribe Called Quest" for example, it will show me all songs with them as artist or them as featuring.

Hope I have made sense! Pls ask if you need more info...
Any ideas guys?

Many thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for your suggestion, but this would also not work the way I would like it to ... 

And, It seemsthat "roc" has a quite similar problem (nr. 3), as I have ... ?

Cheers

0.3.8.4 released. The main change is a new filter search toolbar, the old search bar has been removed. It's a separate toolbar, so add it to your layout someplace.

minor glitch in item details when using $replace() and font change, i.e.
Should be OK now.. hopefully..
(It will use font changes mid-word as wrapping points, but it's complicated to fix and I don't think anyone will really be affected by it..)

Thanks musicmusic. Appreciate your work.

Feedback ->

While typing/clearing in Search Bar, "Filter Panels" playlist refreshes exactly 10 times. Approx 1 refresh per second.

Search Bar is placed inside PSS.

The new search bar doesn't seem to work when Filter Precedence is set to By field list above. Otherwise it looks nice, I like the idea of having favourite searches

Do you have lots of unlinked filters (in tabs maybe?)

Seems OK for me. Can you send your layout (fcl)? Thanks.

Searchbar is great, thanks  It replaced my aged search component/toolbar and it has favorites button, and we know how many users asked for some kind of history in main foobar search. Idea for toggling favorites is very nice

Also thanks for looking at wrapping issue, now works as expected 

Some feedback: I've set filters to "auto-send" on double click, so Filter playlist isn't updated when entering search query and it instantly affects filters and works really great. Can there be possibility that when pressing Enter after the query, it updates filter playlist as on user demand?

There is a request.
I don't want to see dotline in playlist view.
I push some key,(e.g. ctrl, shift) after appear dot line selected track line.
Please improve this problem.

Removing Filters tab solved the problem. Thanks.
Wont be needing so many filters, thanks to Search Bar.

Request ->
1.
Clearing the query fills playlist with all tracks in Media Library.
Instead, could we have a blank playlist upon clearing Search Bar?

2.
Ability to change background & font color of Filter Search Bar.


Waited long for filter search bar functionality. Thank you very much.
