Stupid question: how and where to change titlebar and status bar using 0.2.1? There's no Display/Titleformatting...

So you have access to the new SDK?  Now, as you can look at it closer, can you tell if there is any possibility to create UIComponent<-->CUI-Extension wrappers?
I will just say don't read too much into things.

I prefer this. But the "shrink script edit box" part is a NoNo imo.
Yes I've changed it to single page and tabbed it. Now lots of space and better layout, but too many tabs ...

0.2.1 alpha 6 released. Mainly just bug fixes.

Note: If you put some put some playlist fields in a NG Playlist group script they will not update correctly (e.g. %playlist_number%). Not that I expect anyone to actually do that. Support for those fields will be completely removed in a future version (when Playlist Filters are added to replace %playlist_name%).

Note: I rewrote some very old code surrounding playlist columns in general to accommodate the new column prefs page. As a result it's possible some things are maybe broken so look out for those.

Is it possible to implement old-style playlist content dragging? At least inside of the single content group.

About the selection and focus behaviour of the Filter panel:

It is possible to select more than one item, but the focus rectangle is not moved when selecting additional items (with CTRL-clicks).  This makes it impossible to select multiple "ranges" using SHIFT-click.

I think that the following should work (as it does in Windows Explorer).

Click on item 3.  Now item 3 is selected
SHIFT-click on item 6.  Now items 3-6 are selected.
CTRL-click on item 10.  Now items 3-6 and 10 are selected.
SHIFT-CTRL-click on item 12.  Now items 3-12 are selected, but I believe that only items 3-6 and 10-12 should be selected.

You mean the old move-selected-items behaviour? That prevents normal drag & drop behaviours.

It's just not customisable yet.

You're right (about everything), seems there are some bugs there. Thanks for reporting, I'll fix it for next build

Since Columns UI ver 0.2 (12th October 2007) active item frames aren't drawn anymore in the playlist switcher, they're invisible. Tried it with foo ver 0.9.4.5 & 0.9.5 all Betas. The last working component version, regarding this behavior, in my possession is ver 0.2.0 Beta 1 (23rd July 2007).

Can anyone second that?

I discovered that I can't seem to remove or add any columns while "auto-sizing columns" is disabled. I can edit the columns name and content however.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I tested it out on my old foobar 0.9.4.5 install which has an older ColumnsUI version (0.2.1 alpha 3), and it works fine there.

edit: oh, and I have a suggestion for the columns preference page. I think it might be good if there was a "new column" button, like in the previous version. I know it's crowded in there already but for people new to ColumnsUI it might be a bit unclear how to create a new colum.

hmm I am unable to get keyboard shortcuts to work since alpha 6 just wondering if its related to 0.95 b3 or columns, example ctrl-f does not bring up the find/search... I am wondering if I am doing something wrong... let me know if you need any more details, I do not have any other bindings with the same keys so I am not sure why it is not working.

update

issue solved, rebound keys and working

Did you delete foo_ui_std.dll? If so, that's the problem. Already mentioned somewhere on this forum.

EDIT: As for other shortcuts, just add them again but keep in mind that single key shortcut is not recommended anymore. Read the release notes of the new beta.

0.2.1 alpha 7 released, see changelog for details.

It should now be pretty much consistent with Windows Explorer in alpha 7 (except Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down, but that doesn't seem to do anything different from just Shift+Up/Down in Explorer). Please test it out
These changes are for the Filter Panel and NG Playlist - Columns Playlist remains unchanged.

Thank you for the report, fixed in alpha 7.

Yes there isn't much space for many more buttons.. I wanted them to be of the normal size which takes up more space. Anyway, I was trying to give priority to buttons you may wish to press repeatedly which would be overly tedious through context menu (such as the existing up/down buttons). Anyway, I'll consider it

Setting grouping string playlist filter to «Hide on playlists: *-s-*» and adding «-s-» to playlist name doesn't affect grouping string behavior. Adding «-s-» to playlist name and then setting grouping string playlist filter disables grouping string. Though if afterwards I remove «-s-» from playlist name grouping string is not applied again.

PS: I'm sleepy so I beg you pardon for my inability to state the problem compactly.

If you mean the groups do not refresh when you rename the active playlist, its fixed in v2  Thanks for the report.

I am unable to sort columns based on the headers (within ngplaylist) even though I have this option enabled in alpha v7-2 not sure if I am doing anything wrong or it still does not work in NG playlist yet...

so far so good Im liking the extra options, is it possible to simply make an alternate colour option where every other line in ng playlist can use a second colour if selected, rather then having to code something...

just an idea

Indeed, it is not implemented yet.

At the moment, the colours in NG Playlist aren't customisable. But, the Columns Playlist is configured with alternating colours by default. In summary, I didn't really answer your question, but I may expand the first time setup dialog later with some related options.
