Yes I have that option set as Embedded and external artwork so that I can see if music I downloaded has artwork embedded which I dislike. I don't think it has to do with a particular file as the autoplaylist I was browsing comprised recently added files. I will try to investigate further.
Thanks. Do you remember if it the same situation it crashed last time - checking for embedded artwork?

I will check later and see if there is anything useful I can find in the new crash log, and also probably make a new build with some more call path tracking if it helps.

I don't think the files in question either time had embedded artwork as I had already tagged them and added them to the media library. The only constant I can identify is that I was scrolling through an autoplaylist. My files reside on an external drive if that's relevant. I'll try the new build if you think that will aid in tracking the bug down.

I think I have located the problem, I'll add a fix in a new build which will hopefully clear up the issue (should be ready soon). Thanks for the report

(BTW the crashes were in the artwork panel, rather than NG Playlist.)

That's good you managed to track down the bug. Thanks for the new version. Strange it was the artwork panel when that wasn't even active at the time. But what do I know

1. Search box control/panel to filter the playlist. I often find myself in need to filter the playlist instead of searching the whole media library via the Album list filter box.
And if possible and maybe optionally, dim the items that did not meet the search criteria. That way you still obtain the overview of your current music and see the found items more clear. OR have the search criteria highlighted. Maybe even have both methods combined, if possible.[/url]
It was my intention to merge a typefind-like search box into NG Playlist. I didn't get around to it yet. At the moment though you have typefind, it selects results that match the search.

2. Probably something that was overlooked or done on purpose, but nevertheless. When doing a Shift selection aka range selection (select one item, then select another and everything in between is selected), clicking on the group item selects only the group and cancels the previous selection and does not select anything in between.
Correct, group selection is somewhat limited. I may work on it a bit more one day.

"Display tooltips" unchecked, tooltips seem to popup again after foobar restarted.
Thanks for the report, fixed for next build.

Small problem with Filter Panel:
I have 3 default filter panels. Go to Prefs -> CUI -> Filter and remove last field. The last panel now shows <no field>. Now, create new field (default Album / Album). The last panel still shows <no field> and I must restart foobar for my 'new' field to be used by last panel.
Of course you can chose the active field by right clicking the column title in the Filter panel. On startup, if it does not have a field set it uses some funny logic to select one, this was so it displays something useful when you add it to your layout.

It must be some place, in a tab or somewhere I don't know.

Do you mean like a search toolbar like in Firefox and IE8? That would be really cool.

Hi Musicmusic,

Liking the item details panel, wondering if you could implement the following in the future (you probably already thought of these):

- padding around edges
- "apply" button in the options dialog, which would big timesaver when editing the formatting script!

Thanks

I apologize is this has been addressed before, but is there a way to remove the window frame in columns ui? I know you could use hidetitlebar in panels ui, and was wondering if there was something like that for columns. This is the only main thing holding me back from switching from panels to columns.

Thanks
Aussieboy

Just a quick question about artwork panel
I have all my picture from the artist in the same folder
Z:\Artist\%album artist%.jpg
But when I put this previous line in the line for Disc or back in the option of artwork i have only the nocover image that appear after i have selected the back artwork or disc artwork. I have selected the embedded and external atwork option
So what is the format of this panel please?

Thanks in advance, thanks for this wonderful work and keep doing such a good job.

Musicmusic, I have a serious problem with the filter panels (latest "experimental" CUI, fb2k, the b5). It seems to happen after new files have been put into media library scanned directories. For whatever reason, even the biggest filters (for instance, I click a composer like Sibelius in the topmost filter), fb2k only presents a few results. e.g. 10 entries instead of 5000. The strange thing: If in my "Composers" filter I click on "All", I get the whole match. If I click on Sibelius then, I get one track. (There should be hundreds).
Additionally it seems, as if the problem only appears with composers, who have however changed in the media library.
I can only solve the issue by exiting and restarting fb2k.

Hmm. I think I let fb2k rebuild my media library but don't know if it helps. Maybe someone else has this problem?

EDIT: I let fb2k rebuild the media library. Seemed fine at a first look. Then deleted 6 old Smetana tracks (mp3s) via explorer, added a TAK lossless image to the same folder. Well, now in my Composers filter, I clicked on Smetana, hmm, too few and: tada: The last changed album is fully there, but in others only 1 or 2 tracks are displayed, totally incomplete. A restart of fb2k fixes this again.

To sum it up: Incomplete filtering results after media library changes.

musicmusic can you help me out?

When I try to load Falstaff's new config Curaçao I get this message:

"Need newer foo_ui_columns."

Even if I use the newest version of foo_ui_columns. Do you know what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Can you confirm which version of Columns UI you are running (as reported in Components under preferences)? Also can you try exporting your own .fcl file and importing that?

Similar to typefind really.

It's not possible, but yes it had come up before.

First thing you should do is remove the file extension. Then it would be a good idea to have a read: http://yuo.be/wiki/columns_ui:config:artwork

Excuse me for the off-topic, but all standard help links in foobar2000 preferences are currently broken.

hello everybody

first of all, I don't know if this is the right place for asking that, but I've yet tried a topic and nobody reply me. so I'm trying here: where is possible to find old versions of columns UI working with foobar2000 0.9.4.5 running on windows2000 pro?

somebody could help me please? I'm looking all around the web but without success.. Again, please help!
thank you for paying attention; goodbye.

Request: Would it be possible to make the text boxes in Preferences/ColumnsUI/Filter/Fields selectable and editable? It wouldn't be a big deal if all you ever had to do was enter 'Genre', but getting something like this to work is a royal pain:

$if(%rating%,$repeat($char(9733),%rating%),$if(%rating2%,$repeat($char(8226),%rating2%),?))

It would be nice to have a way to edit long lines like this without re-entering them from scratch. Thanks!

musicmusic I solved it. 

I had edited the path to artist image in the 'curacao_1.1a.fcl' file before I loaded it into foobar. When I loaded a fresh 'curacao_1.1a.fcl' it worked fine.

Still, its a very weird message.

Not really.. you corrupted the file and changed the part of the file that tells the component a  newer version is required.

Hint: don't edit a binary file with a text editor

I don't know if it is only for me or if it is the wanted behaviour but :
When i select back cover or disc cover ,then lock artwork type and finally restart foobar it is again the front cover that appears and not the back cover or the disc cover
