Is there something I didn't understand? I added a button to ColumnsUIs Toolbar. The command is a context menu command: "Playback and post to Twitter" (from foo_twitter_post). I click on it and nothing happens...

did you make sure to select something from the "item group" when creating your button?

Double-click action for Album list panel seems useless as it triggers single click action first, but what about Ctrl and Shift click as options?

add new column and something like this:

$rgb(0,128,255,0,0,255)$repeat(?,%rating%)
$rgb(192,192,192,128,128,128)$repeat(?,$sub(5,%rating%))

It's not useless, as it can be used when autosent to playlist is disabled

i have another question (too late to edit my previous post!). i have seen a few screenshots where a person has added extra information to a filters panel. example below - in the bottom right, the Album filter panel has artists added to it, and this second "column" is right-justified. i have also seen a similar screenshot where the Album filter has a Year column on the left.

Code: [Select]

don't use code boxes to post links. just plain text will make them clickable.

...extra information to a filters panel...how do you do this?

add new field in filters and use title formattings: %album% $tab() %album artist%
you can freely use colors also: $rgb()

thanks again for your help 2E7AH.

one more question - is there a way to put the average bitrate of a VBR album into that second column like Facets can do?

Columns UI

Reply #5662 –
No, that kind of statistics are only present in facets

dont know if something similar has been proposed before but it would be cool to have a "custom" field in the Filter which would list user specified search strings, if that makes sense.  For example user would somewhere create a list like:

Name - Search String
1980’s - %date% IS 198*
1990’s - %date% IS 199*
Recently added - %added% DURING LAST 1 WEEK
No Replaygain - %__replaygain_album_gain% MISSING

Then in the filter panel  a field like “search strings” would be chosen which lists all defined search strings by name.  then by clicking on particular name results would be filtered based on the string.  I guess its similar to creating autoplaylists but with the added ability to filtering the results further.

Playlist manager in Columns UI?  Hi, i've been using Foobar's default interface for a while now and recently i've tried switching to Columns UI but one thing that's been bugging me is that so far i've been unable to get a full playlist manager working in columns UI.  the playlist manager in columsn ui doesnt seem to have an option to show the number of items in each playlist. here's a screenshot of my default UI setup.  is it possible to get a similar playlist manager in columns UI? plz help! columns UI looks really nice an fancy and i really want to try it.  but before anything, i really  need to get that playlist manager going

(The playlist manager is the smaller column on the left and im having problems with that, but on the right (bigger column) its the playlist viewer and im having no problems with that in columns UI)

See the documentation on playlist switcher -- playlist length is given by %size%. Settings are at Preferences > Display > Columns > Playlist switcher. Use $tab() to make things align to the right edge.

Is there any way to deselect all files in the NG playlist? It works when i click on empty playlist area, but that's not possible if the 40 or more tracks are on playlist..
I use foo_run to check out wikipedia and stuff for currently playing song, but if some track on playlist is selected, this cannot be done (i get wiki page for selected track).


bump!

Anyone?

add a button for your foo_run service? you can set that so it always uses the now playing item regardless of what is selected.

Ill try something, but my toolbar is already loaded with menu, buttons, seekbar, volume, playback order..etc.

With that, i can only select current playing song, not do deselect file(s) in playlist..

- you can deselect playlist items if you click on playlist artwork (or if you don't have artwork displayed, than on couple of pixels on the left playlist side)
- you can focus and select current playing song if you double-click status bar

well most people have a buttons toolbar. that's why i suggested adding a button to it.

I'm not using any kind of grouping in playlist - just %list_index%, so i dont have any artworks. I only use "Artwork view" in my sidebar, clicking on it doesn't help.

Also, i don't have any unused pixels on my playlist, not on left, right, top or bottom..

I repeat - double-clicking on statusbar only selects current playling songs (at least in my config  ). I've figured that out earlier..

See the screenshot of my config;

Well, that's a good option, but yet again - doesn't deselect files on playlist.

Besides that,  i'm avoiding any irrelevant buttons in my toolbar. I use keyboard shortcut to run foo_run services.

I just want my songs on playlist deselected, i guess it some kind of stupid habit from my old config (feat. elplaylist ) and some other music players that i used before foobar2000..

Well, you are not using groupings (+ you have disabled columns titles), that's why you can't see artwork in playlist or that couple of pixels for deselecting
I guess you can do it with additional component (menu addons) but that's too much maybe

[edit] or don't use auto-sizing columns and add little space for deselecting
