Hi, I hate to ask really dumb questions here, but that is not going to stop me, unfortunately...

In 0.9, using the latest pre-alpha, my columns UI (unmodified) shows no track numbers column, no option to add it, and only about half the tabs on the preferences page compared to what I see in the wiki.

Am I doing something wrong? I just installed 0.9 and the various components as I always did with 0.8.3...

EDIT: and the configure button is greyed out in the layout tab, so I'm really quite stuck.


You don't configure the layout from the configuration button; rather, the button is for configurating individual things in your layout. Right click on the base entry in the layout window to start modifying the layout.

Thanks for the help. Glad to see that new version and all, one thing hasn't changed: what foobar giveth in configurability, it taketh away in total lack of intuitive design.

I mean, why should I have to select the "columns playback" option--already selected by default when I choose the columns UI interface--in order to get its config menu? By changing absolutely nothing, a whole subnode pops up.

Edit the titleformatting for the playlist switcher maybe? I simply put %length% in there with a nice separator bullet:

Code: [Select]
%title% • %length%

Sorry, can you explain it further, I don't quite understand

If I want to show the time without highlighting them all what should I do?

There is no code that is capable of showing total playlist time in the status bar.

Storm was showing you how total playlist time can be displayed next to the playlist name in the playlist switcher list.
"Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Playlist Switcher > General tab > Use titleformatting for playlist title in panel: ..."

Is it also possible to drag files from a playlist to another without using additional keys (only with the mouse)?
Try drag and drop with the right mouse button. A you'll see, the difference from using the left with a modifier, is that a small menu will pop up when you release, asking you what to do.

Thanks upNorth, that works.
I tried that before but it was not working, instead of the Add files here etc menu I was getting the Activate/Load etc one. After a bit of testing I found out that it was due to the fact that I'm constantly running StrokeIt, a mouse gestures little app.
While without it I get the right menu, further testing let me know that even with StrokeIt running I can get the right menu if I wait half a second on a non selected area of the playilist before going onto the playlist tab.
Thanks.

Hello  I was wondering if there's a possibility to put the Console (menu->console in 0.9) in a panel...
I'm sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place, I tried to search but without a "search this thread" tool it's pretty useless  Thanks in advance!

Possible Bug...
I'm having some trouble resizing palens in Columns UI. When the resizing arrow appears it disappear just as quick. Resizing works fine when I eventually click the right pixel, the problem is the arrow which disappear so I don't know where to click.

Ya know, after spending the past few weeks trying to get my copy of v.9.0 w/foo_columns to config in a way I like (I've messed with it on my own, I've lifted different strings posted here, etc. etc. etc.), I've decided that my v0.8.3 is just fine.  It looks the way I want it to; it works the way I want it to; I can rebuild it in a few minutes, if it bugs up (a rare occurance).  Besides, I'm kinda burned out on chasing down the latest version of whatever was just ported over.

When v.9.-- is better established, I'll give it another try.  Until then, I'm good with what I got...

that's not quite true. in the status bar, next to where it says "0.00 dB", it shows the time of the current track. if you double click that, it shows the total playlist time, in a sort of weird way. but it still works.

yeah, but that's because when you dblclick it all playlist items became selected.

I know that you don't really like such bugreports, though there is a bug when using foo_ui_columns with foobar 0.9.1 under wine. Foobar crashes when moving the mose cursor over the sidepanel separator. This bug is reported by foobar itself, not by wine - wine quits without any errors. You'll find the bug report below [1]. I realize that this bug won't appear under windows, though I'd be glad if it was resolved. Also I noticed that when using foo_ui_columns audio latency times become poor, thus minimising and maximizing the window makes the sound ditchy. This is not the case when using the default ui. Also, foobar crashes when right-clicking on any taskbar handler - again, it's not the case with default ui. The bug report below [2].

Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1 released.

Please see the changelog for release notes. In particular:
-Layout config compatibility was broken. You will lose your layout on upgrade.
-Panel compatibility was broken. They will need recompiling with the new SDK.
-The sidebar was removed. The layout system replaces this. See FAQs for more information.
-Layout presets were added, but you should note they define independant layouts. As such all your panels reinitialise when switching preset. For some (album list panel) this may take a second.

In other news:
Album list panel 0.2.1 beta 4 released
Console panel 0.2 released

They are available at my components homepage.

Wine is meant to emulate Windows. So if it doesn't happen on Windows, you are right I won't be very interested.

1. Crash when mouse over playlist switcher panel I "fixed" on my side already. But it doesn't excuse Wine.
2. If you ran Wine in a Terminal you would have seen it is caused by RealChildWindowFromPoint not being implemented in Wine.
3. Audio latency - Well Wine is an emulator.

Eek. Once more having to wait for re-compiles. Thanks anyway. It's the better concept now treating the sidebar like everything else...
