musicmusic. Is it possible that you could add margins (2px, left & right) to the volume and progressbar. If they are placed next to a border the slider get too close at the start and at the end. Currently I've solved the problem by adding an empty horizontal splitter to the right. I should probably have one on the left also but I feel it's less important.
I'll take a look at it.

With some more changes to my config it seems this idea might not be the best solution. Perhaps if the whole splitter had margins that would be better. That would set offset for all elements.

The bottom image have an empty buttons-field on the left and an empty vertical splitter at the bottom creating a 2px offset from the edges. I'm hoping this can be fixed in a future version of your amazing plugin.

When I expand my "playlist management" tab when the "Main tab" is open, buttons impose the width of the main tab (approximately: one third of the screen for the Pl management tab, one third for the main tab, one third for the album art which is put out of the "display window" of foobar /picture) , when I try to resize the Pl management tab: the album art become smaller and smaller and fits the "display window" of foobar. (picture) then when it is too small, it is shut down, (picture,picture ). But when I see my layout, the album art panel is still here, clicking on apply doesn't make it appear again, and it is not considered as hidden picture (No way to make it appear again closing my tabs and trying to re expand the panel, it is obviously totally shut down)

I have to remove the panel and recreate it in my layout

I hope I'm clear


I'm not sure whether I understand your problem. Do you mean that the album art panel is resized when expanding one of the autohide panels, although your album art panel is locked?

I've tried to reproduce this but couldn't confirm. Maybe one of other panels is locked too?

Yes  But the other autohide panel(i.e. "Main") is locked because of the buttons toolbar

Quite funny, reducing the size of the "Main" tab (when it is opened) made it appear again but resizing the album art panel becomes erratic

musicmusic. Is it somehow possible to extract png's from a fcb file. I downloaded fcb file in the foobar button thread but I'd like to change the color of the buttons inside. But I have yet to find a way to extract them.

Maybe placing  the toobar buttons (locked) above the autohide panels, i.e. including a vertical splitter (buttons toolbar / autohide panels) would work ?!

I don't lock the Main panel, There is a fake button created (I used custom text and put the right number of spaces to get it centered when the main tab is opened) and the buttons toolbar is auto locked.

musicmusic, i have a feature request wink.gif. i was thinking - it would be nice not only show / hide columns according to playlist's name. i would like to be able to switch between views (i.e. different sets of enabled / disabled columns) for example from dropdown list. i would use 'views' like album mode, single mode, detailed mode etc.

what do you (and others) think?


I had an idea that i posted in navigator suite but i think it was the wrong thread! So let me repeat it here.
Because i don't know if it realizeable at all i didn't mean the idea as a request.

The idea was:

The mode is determined not only by name of playlist but also by sorting. So if f.e. i sort my displayed albums by title, mood or other trackrelated fields the sorted playlist is displayed in single mode. if i then sort the playlist by - let's say - genre/artist/album it is displayed in album mode again. In combination with Lyx's idea that would be great.

What do you think, musicmusic?

Just upgraded to the latest version and all my settings (including playlist & sidebar layouts + all custom toolbars) were gone. WTF?? "Thanks" to such radical changes in fb2k world every 0.0.0.x version changes I have a habit of backing up everything before doing any "upgrades", but even now Import & Export doesn't work.

Yup, there was a change at some stage breaking the prior config.

The fate of a foobar user?

Unfortunately  We are the alpha-testers. =/

musicmusic, next time you drop any backward compability PLEASE warn about this. I don't have much time to dig deep inside changelogs and this last upgrade was a forced one required by another ui component.

Well, the latest version is labeled as beta, and there were alpha and even pre-alpha version before, so this isn't all that surprising.

As far as I remember, he did post a warning about this when the new version was released, and the change log entries about the compatility break are written in bold.

I meant the overall situation with revolutional development in fb2k world and poor backwards compability. I lost my setting numerous times and had to start from scratch almost every time. It's absolutely no wonder why there is still so many 0.8.x users: they need STABILITY and don't have much time to search & reconfigure everything.

How do i make the albums appear under the album column, artists under the artist column and title under title album? I can't get it to work.

It appears that you have "Artist - Title" entered for the TITLE tag on many of your songs, it looks like you need to clean up your library and ensure all your artist names are under the ARTIST tag and titles under the TITLE tag.  If I am mistaken please provide more information about your setup.

And how would i do that? Is it in preferences?

The tags are stored individually on each of your mp3 files. There are many ways to edit these tags, the easiest of which would probably be to right click on the file in your playlist and select "Properties.." from the menu.  There is an extension called foo_infobox that makes things a little easier on the eyes, and there are many other 3rd party programs for editing tags on your files.  If you are unfamiliar with metatags I would suggest googling for "ID3". Put the name of the artist into the artist field, the name of the song in the title field, the name of the album into the album field, etc.  Foobar heavily relies on proper tagging for most of it's advanced features so I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the concept and clean up your library.

Just a quick request. When you drop files into a playlist using drag+drop, I would like an option to "Move files here" instead of only "Add files here."
