@musicmusic:

I want to report that there's a difference in how fonts is rendered in NG Playlist between Windows 7 and Windows Vista. This is especially easy to notice for group title. For example, here's Windows Vista and Windows 7. Cleartype with Aero is active on both OS. The only difference is my computer at work has Windows Vista on runs at 1440x900 resolution and my computer at home that runs Windows 7 has 1680x1050 resolution. I don't think this reason cause this difference in font rendering though, as the Vista one looks much more blocky.

Another thing: When will you support the new Apply feature of foobar 1.0 SDK so there'll be no annoying bubble notification?

@thuan: I don't think you're using the same fonts on both OS's, in Vista you're using a System Font, not Segoe UI

Searchbar is great, thanks
Welcome

Can there be possibility that when pressing Enter after the query, it updates filter playlist as on user demand?
OK sounds reasonable.

Removing Filters tab solved the problem. Thanks.
OK - I'll see what I can do so it behaves a bit nicer in that case.

Quote from: s33m33 on
Clearing the query fills playlist with all tracks in Media Library.
Instead, could we have a blank playlist upon clearing Search Bar?
Not sure, I'll think about that.

Ability to change background & font color of Filter Search Bar.
I'll have a look, depends on where the hint/cue text colour comes from and some other things.

Are you sure they're the same font? Maybe the font chosen on the Vista computer isn't actually present?

I don't know, I'll have to see if I can make it do what I want.

Thanks for the filter search bar and favorite.
Do you think the album list panel search bar could be replaced by one like this one ?
And also would it be possible to have a button to clear the query with one clic ?


edit: typo

I think they use the same font as I copied my foobar from home to work and both Vista and 7 have Segoe UI, I think. Is using semi-bold a problem on Vista? Not at work now, tomorrow I will check.

Perhaps, probably makes sense, as long as it doesn't use up too much space.

OK.

Yes, the semi-bold version came in Windows 7, apparently.

musicmusic, do you want my scripts and images as well, or will you just let the wsh panels break? Also, it seems to work when I use Album Artist;Artist for example (i.e. split fields) but not when I use titleformatting like %album artist%.

Am I doing something wrong? The Search Filter toolbar doesn't seem to do anything. I type something in and hit enter and just gives me an error ding.

as it's a "filter search" toolbar, you'll need some filters in your layout.

Columns UI

Could you perhaps make the volume control on the status panel toggleable, like the one on the status bar?

I like using the volume control toolbar at the top, and the second volume control at the bottom just looks out of place then...
np: 4'33"

small request: when selecting items in filters, they show up in the Filter Results playlist. could there be an option to also select all items in the playlist when they are sent? i keep trying to select things in filters then use hotkeys/buttons on them (worked that way in Facets), but it never works

I cannot help you, I use foobar in a different way, but I would also like to ask a question:

Is it possible in Columns UI Filters and Playlist View to define custom middle click (other than those available in the preferences menu)? It is possible with ELPlaylist, but I already configured my layout using default Columns UI Filters and their "Results" NG Playlist. The option that I want to assign with the middle click is one of the options from my context menu ("Place After Current Playing" by foo_trackpos)...
Thanks in advance...

Thank you, the filter bar makes much more sense than the search before. Could you maybe add a tiny "Clear" button? Because if we often use the favorites as you offer it, all operation is done with the mouse.

The filter feature is really great. That's what I've been waiting for a long time! Thanks a lot

[shame mode=on] I know i am a noob, but what is the difference between the "filter search bar" and "quick search bar", because I thought it is the same, but the "filter search bar" does nothing at all.

Do you have filters in your layout? For some reason I thought it needs filters in the layout. Otherwise it does nothing. I have not tested this though.

^ yup, you are completely correct. it is a FILTER search. you need filters in your layout.

Can you please explain how the new search works? I have filters for ARTIST, ALBUM, LOCATION(from PATH) and DECADE.
Before, if I wanted to find an artist, I typed in the search box for that filter.
Now, if I type in the new search, which of the filters is searched - all of them? And what information is searched from each filter - does it search what's displayed in the filter or the information in the music files?

musicmusic answered that question already (see a few posts above yours): question: "Another thing: When will you support the new Apply feature of foobar 1.0 SDK so there'll be no annoying bubble notification?"

It'd be nice if the double click action on a playlist item can be set to any menu item as well. I would love to be able to double click on Filter Results/Library view items to send them to another playlist (and play, but that's probably asking for too much).

what exactly is bugging you?
- you can disable windows aeropeek
- you can't change playback buttons on thumbnail preview from foobar preferences
- you can download additional component for windows 7 shell integration


Thank you for your reply.

This:

is bugging me. Sad to hear I can't remove it from foobar preferences. Is there any other way?
