in regards to the grouping, is it also possible to hide a groups line if the is no match on a particular level... eg not all my albums are tagged with disc numbers as to me there is no point for a single disc album to be marked 1/1 so in this case the grouping line is not required but. I put the fields surrounded by [] to see if that would work but it still shows the grouping line... not sure how hard that would be but that would really help things nicely///

Is the source for the Album List or Album List Panel available?

awesome thx MM, I read a while back you were thinking about a playlist switcher rewrite which was why I mentioned my commends. filesize will siffuce.. cheers.

I added both %filesize% (formatted already) and %filesize_raw% (bytes).

Would it be possible to have an option to have just one autosend playlist rather than 2 separate ones?
I personally find having two playlists rather cluttered.

1. Is there a chance you additionally add "Show 'All' node" for filter panel (as mentioned before)?

So I can add an option to hide the "All" node, but probably I will add the option to hide nodes with empty labels first.

2. The %filesize% reports too high values here. For one (auto)playlist it says 26.6 GB, but fb2k preferences tell the truth: 7,26 GB.

%filesize% shows me "8498099". I thought it was supposed to be formatted?
%filesize_raw% shows me a question mark .

Would it be possible for you to add a variable that will give me the size of a selection output in bytes? Something like %filesize_sel% or so?

I'm not sure where or what selection you are referring too, I will assume you mean globally and for the playlist selection. Global fields that change with the playlist selection aren't so good, and also the UI isn't the right place to implement such global fields anyway. If you just want to see the filesize of the selection, a pane in the status bar or a selection properties panel is a better idea.

If you want it in the Track Info Panel, it is better implemented on that component's side. If you do it globally, every single title formatted using title formatting will need to be refreshed when you change the selection. This is suicide behaviour.

I understand that no one is developing that panel at the moment (as far as I know anyway), but it was at least originally open source.

if the group only has a few tracks the artwork will be clipped, probably it would be better if the group was taller instead to accommodate it.

I am using global settings for everything, so shouldn't NG look just like Columns PLV?

Thanks, look beautiful and simple to set up.

Agree.

And some other way to enable covers display would be good. Now it obviously isn't going to work if column titles are hidden.

What do you think about NG playlist album-art database (like in wmp11,itunes7), where cached images are stored in database and at the next start loaded instantly instead of caching them every time?

I'm not sure it will make so much difference, the artwork still has to be read from disk (I think this is more related to the core anyway). Are you facing some problem with current behaviour?
