Hi there !
I have a little question.
I moved yesterday from foobar 0.9.4.3 to foobar 0.9.6.9 and I also updated all my config, including Columns UI.

On my previous config, I had this :

You can move them with $tab():
%album artist%$tab()%genre%
but you can't bring back the previous look (or maybe if you use columns playlist instead NG playlist)

Thank you ! It's much better now
I didn't know $tab().

I found a solution to have artist everytime with the album title.
Simply invert my groups like that :
maybe it will help someone who has the same problem !

But I have on new question :
Before, I used Album art Panel but now, Columns UI can display an album art.
My problem is that each cover isn't named as the others.
I have a lot named like that : %artist% - 00 - %album% - Front
but not all and I don't want to rename all of them. With my previous plugin, it wasn't a problem.
Does somebody know how to fix this ? To make it read all pictures in the folder maybe ?

go to CUI preferences and select the artwork tab, enter your code there and it should work.

Mhh that wasn't my question sorry. Actually I would like to know if it is possible to view all pictures in the folder, whatever the name of the picture, like it was with Album Art Panel

add: $directory_path(%path%)\* as last source for front cover, so that when previous patterns fails then any picture (1st one alphabetically) will be shown:

Hello, I have 2 simple questions regarding Columns UI

How to make it show disc number (in NG Playlist) of multiple discs next to track number? Like in Default UI playlist, when there's Disc Number tagged, it shows 1.01, 1.02...2.01, 2.02....

And is there any plans to make Filters sort ascending, descending? I find a "fix" there in forums.
[$rgb(255,255,255,240,240,240)$sub(2050,%date%)$rgb()%date%]
But it's dirty, and shows 2 strange numbers when selected  Native solution would be much better.

in the column for tracknumber....

[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%

the workaround for showing the date in reverse order can be seamless. in the CUI colour preferences, makes sure the "selected item" and "inactive selected item" background colours are the same as each other. then use the same colours in that $rgb statement. in your example, the normal background colour 255,255,255 and the selected/inactive selected item is 240,240,240. just change the colours to match your scheme.

having said all that, clickable column headers in the filters would be very nice, musicmusic.

I was seeing "display ellipsis in clipped text" ... instead tracks with discnumber lol. Thats why it "didn't worked" for me 
Will try that sorting seamless fix later...

Thanks for help marc2003

Is Columns UI my best bet for what I want to do here? And if so, how would I go about doing it?

Basically, I want a list of artists on the left. When I single-click on one it lists the tracks in the right panel, grouped by album. I can do this much easily with a filter, a playlist view, and horizontal splitter. But when I double-click a track in the right list to play, it's in a playlist of only that artist. I want it to just play that particular song in my main playlist of all songs, not just the playlist of the artist I filtered.

I just have too many songs to make a playlist of all of them comfortable to navigate but I still want to be able to play all of them from the same playlist. I just need some way to make the list more manageable. A playlist of all songs, grouped by artist, where the groups are minimized (only showing the artist name) until I click on one to select a particular track would also work.

@aurens - Not exactly the same, but if you have an Album List panel, you can find the song you want, right-click and "Highlight in Playlist".  If you don't have that option, you can add it to your context menu (Edit/Highlight in Current Playlist).  There's also find in playlist, which works quite well for me.

I had to download foo_utils but I have that option now. But I can't make it the double-click behavior, which is what I need.

Also, I don't think I have an Album List panel. I haven't modified the UI except for colors and changing the columns around a bit. I can only view the Album List via Library > Album List and then it's just a floating box. I don't know how to dock it into the window so I can use it instead of a filter.

You need the album list panel, available from the same site as columns UI.

You might be interested in EL Playlist: http://foo2k.chottu.net/ -it has collapsible groups, which I think is what you want.

Another option is, instead of having a long playlist with all your music in, you could create 3 filters, for artist, album and track, then you can just send from the track filter to a playlist when you want to play it. Your main playlist could just contain the music you're going to play, and the whole of your library would just be displayed in the filters. That might work for you if you're used to media players like winamp or wmp.

Thanks guys, I got what I wanted with ELPlaylist. The scripting was a bit daunting at first but it's just ugly, not complicated. I got it all sorted out.

hmm,recently I've been afflicted by a strange problem about foobar,which may  contact with this plugin-> foo_ui_column.dll(0.3.80)

OS: windows 7 foobar with no other strange components, use CUI(just a playlist viewer and a playlist tabs).

when I add amount of songs to foobar using "Enqueue in foobar2000", the os mostly may step into a dying state, the mouse can still move but can do none actions, all items are dying..... i can do nothing but shutdown forcibly .

Hey guys, I am having a problem where when I open a song from Windows Explorer, or do the following: right click > Play with foobar2000, the control buttons and some background images will disappear. However, if I run foobar before hand, then do the above, the buttons will appear properly. Any idea how can I fix this? Below are some screenshots.

Missing:




OK:



Thanks

I'm looking for a quiet simple request here, I believe.
I am trying to make a filter in Columns UI. I just want to see the folders inside my main music folder. For example:

Main directory: E:\Music\
I want to see the folders inside that folder, that's all. And when I click it it will obviously show up in the playlist renderer.
Simply sorting it by folder structure.

Edit: Never mind, as soon as I realized that I could Google for "folder structure" I found it. I downloaded Album List Panel.

@siaush, your problem isn't columns UI related.

if that's panel stack splitter you're using try adding

%ps_foobar2000_path%

to the beginning of your images path.

Hey, thanks a lot for your solution. That worked on my Panel Stack Splitter. However, my ELPlaylist is having the same problem as well, is there any variables i can use to get the foobar path?

Thanks.

ELPlaylist doesn't need it. relative paths work fine.

Well, that's weird =/ As you can notice at the screenshots I posted above, the background for the title bar is missing. The one under the XXX - 2009 - 1 tracks title.
