Thanks!

Another question I have is if it is possible to create a playlist that does the same thing like double-clicking on Columns UI's status bar.
(View - Columns Playlist - Activate Now Playing)

I have a problem with track column's color:

The big grey bar's RGB is 235/233/237.
I told color options to display selected items' text in 255/255/255. It works for all columns but the track.
However, track's color (in the picture it's the "3") is 205/231/231. That's a color I didn't use anywhere so far. Columns UI must have a will of its own.

How to fix this?

I guess you selected "custom" for NG playlist in "CUI preferences > Color". Then that is color for "selected text color": $set_style(text,<text color>,<selected text color>). You can change it globally in "Playlist View > Globals > Style" or for particular column as custom style in "Columns > Scripts > Style tab"

I'm hoping I can get some help here with Multivalue tags in Columns UI Filters. I'm unable to get my "STYLE" tag to separate tags with a semicolon 

I have added "STYLE; GENRE;" to the Multivalue Fields under Advanced>Properties and I have created fields under Columns UI>Filter for both, but still end up with garbage.



Why is this happening?

Field should be "Style", not %style% or %<style>%
And you did split them in properties, right?

Not sure what you mean by "split them in properties." The tags are separated by semicolons if that's what you mean.



My other settings:





Thanks for the help

I don't see any STYLE tag in your properties, but anyway - right click on STYLE tag in properties dialog and select "Split values..."

Columns UI

Thanks!    That was it.

I never noticed that split values option before.

Is there any way to create a Filter which lists all the playlists foobar2000 has open?  I'm essentially trying to replicate the UI of iTunes 9, where you cilck on a playlist and then the next filter will only show artists/albums/genre/ect inside that playlist.

Columns UI

Not possible - Filters are meant to... "filter" your library, not a specific playlist.
However, the component "Graphical browser" will display Artist/Albums only in the current playlist. Even though it's not straightforward to configure, you can make it look much like a filter panel.

Is it possible to display all Artists and Album Artists in the same Filter? Default setting "Album Artist;Artist" displays Album Artist only.

Is it possible to set grouping per playlist instead of for all them? For example, playlist A is displayed with "Groups (per artwork)", while playlist B is displayed with "Groups (without artwork)" or disabled. Album art is awesome but in the playlists with all singles, it takes too much empty space so no grouping by artwork is better in those cases.

Yes, it's right there on the Edit groups window, and it accepts wildcards (*). Artwork can only be turned off by disabling all groups, however, so your second option isn't possible.

Nice! So how do you setup a script for:

Show groups for all, except playlists named "ABC", "XYZ", etc.

Main menu: File, Preferences, Display, Columns UI, Playlist view -> Grouping:   Press button "New..."

Playlist filters: "Hide on playlists:" ABC;XYZ (use the semicolon without a space as separator; you can also use e.g. A*;D* for all playlists beginning with both A and D).

recommendation for FILTER panels:

when you have eg. 3 filters,
and you select what you want (eg. genre, artist and album)
an autoplaylist should be created with the selected specifications. and when you play something from that playlist and start browsing again, it renames the autoplaylist to Filter Results (Playback), and you can continue browsing in a newly created Filter Results (this is the same as it works now).

But when you select the Filter Results (Playback) playlist, it should display the created autplaylist + the selections in the filter panels you made when you first created the autoplaylist...

i think this would prove to be very useful.

The behaviour of the playlist tabs panel annoys me. I use multiline tabs (I have 2 lines). The problem is that the line which contains the selected tab will always be put in the 2nd line. So the lines switch very often. That makes it very hard to remember the position of a tab. Before selecting a tab you have to read their titles so you click on the right one. This costs time. Imagine the buttons in your windows task bar or the playback buttons of foobar would change their position on every click. That would drive you carzy, right?

The line switching is even more stupid if you want to drop something on a playlist in the top line. If you put the drop cursor over it, lines switch. The cursor will be over the wrong playlist tab. If you move the cursor again and try to move it over the right playlist, lines switch again because the computer thinks you want to drop on the playlist in the top line. This goes on and on until you are lucky and move the cursor fast enough.

Please give us an opiton to disable line switching.

I am pretty sure that line-switching is the common behavior of the tabs control in Windows. If you are dealing with so many playlists you better try the Playlist Switcher, it's WAY better for drag-n-drop operations.

Hey guys, how can I make in Columns UI so that when there are brackets in title, they would be colored differently.

Like here:

Code: [Select]
$replace(%title%,'(',$rgb(1,1,1)'(',')',')'$rgb(1,1,1))


Fiddle with the rgb values. The second rgb is intended to set the color to the original color so the alternate color doesn't bleed, but it assumes you don't have strange nested bracketing like (this (example) here).

It works, thank you very much

One more thing, how do I disable tag editing when pressing 2 times on artist name or title (just like in Windows) ?

Preferences, Display, Columns UI, Playlist view -> tab "General":

Untick "Allow mouse activated inline editing".

Is Columns UI's homepage down for others too or just for me?

Edit: and I correct myself....It seems to be down - but not according to above site that I referenced it is not. This happens periodically for me
I attribute it to a poor dns setup via RoadRunner as an ISP. Probably will pop up active again in a few minutes
