I'd like to see reflection on images in the playlist, like in iTunes. That would be really cool.

In NG Playlist of Columns UI, you can change group text color by using $rgb. As for the line, the only way to change its color is changing theme, I guess.

// 2
$if(%album type%,%album%' ('%album type%')',[%album%])
[$tab()CD%discnumber%[/%totaldiscs%]]
,
// 3
[$if(%original release date%,%original release date%' ('%date%')',%date%)] $tab()[$if(%style%,%genre%' | '%style%,[%genre%])]
,
// 4
$if($info(referenced_file),'CUE: ')$get_global(codec) %bitrate%kbps $info(samplerate)Hz $info(encoding) %channels% $if2('('$abbr(%__mp3_stereo_mode%)')',)  
$tab()$muldiv(%__bitrate%,100,1411)'% of CDDA'

It would be nice if Artwork view shows, when no track is playing, the cover of the selected track/album in the playlist.

Bug? My artwork view in NG playlist refreshs after an interval of about one minute.
Is it normal? Or it's the problem of my setting?

my OS is XP sp2, foobar 0.9.5.2 and the latest Column UI

i found a glitch in the newest version 0.3 beta 2 preview 4

when using $tab the first column isn't to the very left it looks like there is a space inserted. only when there is something displayed in the second column. see picture for details

I thought it was intended. I like it (or more "liked it" before I added the album art column and the tab went to not noticable). If you could add a setting in some way to decide space or no space i think it should be appreciated. But only if it's not to much of a hassle.

You can "misuse" it to access covers at other places which I used. So it didn't misfire in a way. Beside doing it this way feel faster to me instead of using foobar internal function to look for covers. At least foobar seems to be more responsive when scrolling in playlist with thousands of songs and covers.

I played around with artwork repository front path and came up with this long a** string.
[...]
Well my covers are all in these searched places. After caching all of my album arts (actually I scrolled around a bunch of times), it does scroll impressively fast.
Will you implement wild cards support and multiple sources in the future so  ppl like me don't have to deal with it with patched work like this?

Also I would like to have system minute and system second available after checking "Make date info available" in global tab.

Can I access global colours/fonts configuration using current SDK (6.2)? I'm talking about Columns UI -> Colours and Fonts preferences page. I would like to add my component to 'Colours -> Element' list (same for Fonts) and then read my colours/fonts configuration from this place.

When I try to send it to the "autosend playlist" (what is that? I don't see it defined anywhere.  is that the same as the "active playlist"?)

why would this EVER be useful?

The only way I see how to add it is to drag the tracks to the "Filter Results (Playback)" list.  Is this the fastest way to do this?  Seems like you might want a faster way to do this?

Furthermore, is it possible to change the name of these playlists ("Filter Results" and "Filter Results (Playback)")?  I don't like these names.

Would it be possible to add an option to CUI's groups that would suppress grouping for groups of size 1, displaying those files as if grouping were turned off?

I will just outline what my current plans are which will hopefully clear a few things up:
-Add support for relative paths (to the media file)
-Add support for wild cards
-Remove the need to specify the file extension
-Make using the foobar2000 reader optional

Regarding multiple sources, is there a reason this is needed other than inconsistent artwork file naming/locations? Can you not pin down an accurate location using metadata (TOTALDISCS, etc.)?

The playlist would have to refresh too often, hence it was left out.

And cover is stored inside "Album name" folder for single cover albums or if it has multiple covers each cover is inside its correspondent Disc folder.
