It works! Things like %playback_time% don't work though.

%playback_time% ... only work in Per Second section, logic ....

I know, that's what I tried to tell. 

I'm not sure if I asked this before, but can you write tags with PSS? I'd like to click on 5 different text buttons, and depending on the button number I want PSS to write %rating% into the currently played MP3 file.

yes it works somehow, but as I said, still %ps_playback_order% isn´t updated if you change the playbackorder "manually" in the menu bar. That´s why I had put the buttons in the per second area, where they ARE updated correctly (but where no imagebutton is availble)

if you use menu bar, why do you care about PSS %ps_playback_order% ??? very strange ways

Good point, but if you aim for a simple clean style, it's worth a thought not to put all playback orders into the PSS surface but just the most frequently used ones and use the menu bar for more rarely used playback orders.

that´s the point! In my case other people use it too, so I offer the most important functions in the PSS. Nevertheless they (the people) sometimes use the menubar and then everything would be messed up. In the WSH version this doesn´t happen because it updates correctly AND only circles the desired options...  ...so not that strange

Can one tell PSS to open a certain Tab Stack tab once a Text Button is clicked?

[Not my release] foo_uie_panel_splitter

Reply #533 –
Not with the columns ui built-in tab stack, but with Tabbed Panel Stack mod (foo_uie_tabs).
http://foobar2000.com.cn/theo/projects/fb2k-0_9_6-ports/

Another way is to "create" your own tab stack in PSS:
Just place more panels at the same place and hide all panels except one as "hide on startup" or use global variables for show/hide a panel.

Simple Example:
Code: [Select]
$init_ps_global(panel,1)
$showpanel(Panel1,$ifequal(%panel%,1,1,0))
$showpanel(Panel2,$ifequal(%panel%,2,1,0))
$showpanel(Panel3,$ifequal(%panel%,3,1,0))
$showpanel(Panel4,$ifequal(%panel%,4,1,0))

$textbutton(10,10,50,20,PANEL1,PANEL1,SETGLOBAL:panel:1;REFRESH,fontcolor:0-0-0,fontcolor:255-0-0)
$textbutton(70,10,50,20,PANEL2,PANEL2,SETGLOBAL:panel:2;REFRESH,fontcolor:0-0-0,fontcolor:255-0-0)
$textbutton(130,10,50,20,PANEL3,PANEL3,SETGLOBAL:panel:3;REFRESH,fontcolor:0-0-0,fontcolor:255-0-0)
$textbutton(190,10,50,20,PANEL4,PANEL4,SETGLOBAL:panel:4;REFRESH,fontcolor:0-0-0,fontcolor:255-0-0)

Where should i declare global variables to be able to see them on "global variables" tab?

[Not my release] foo_uie_panel_splitter

Reply #535 –
2 Questions:

1) My global variable works well without $init_ps_global(). What's that function for, and should I use it regardless?

2) "glow_aa" doesn't do anything on my Text Buttons. How do I properly add glowing effect to Text Buttons? I'm using Windows 7 RC, if that's of importance.

[Not my release] foo_uie_panel_splitter

Reply #536 –
1) $init_ps_global() is almost the same as $if($get_ps_global(name),,$set_ps_global(name,value)) as stated in the readme

2) there is no glow option for text button ( read the readme)

Thanks. I really should start to learn some Japanese. 

My next problem is that commands (like COMMAND:, CONTEXT:, or SETTAG:) only work if the file is playing. How to access the file after the stop button has been pushed?

the target track is determined by the Titleformat Mode of the PSS panel
If TF mode is set to NOW PLAYING, the target track is always the playing track.
Similarly if TF is FOLLOW CURSOR, then it's always the selected track.

maybe you can try this in the button option to switch between selected/nowplaying

TFMODE:mode

modes:
0 == nowplaying
1 == follow cursor
-1 == toggle between nowplaying/follow cursor

hope that helps

@Ssenna:

Is it possible that we get end_ellipsis also for $drawstring?

... in case someone wants to ask "Why don´t you use $drawtextex..." I prefer drawstring because the antialiasing is MUCH better for big fonts on vista, drawtextex is rather jaggy...

but $drawtextex is far better optimized, $drawstring is a huge consuming ressource that can lag some refresh display (already experienced!)

now ...

I think it would be very useful to also have a mode "nowstopped" that's not visible but included in "nowplaying" (0). The reason for this is if a track is stopped, all its artist, album, ratings, and other information is still saved in the PSS.

I'd like to have this information saved and displayed even while browsing a playlist with stopped playback. If I switched to "follow cursor" after stopping playback, the information would be changed while browsing a playlist with the mouse cursor, right? That's not what I want to happen in my config. Is there a workaround for this?

What's all the differences between $drawstring and $drawtext? I noticed so far that $drawtext has different offsets. With same coordinates, it is displayed like $drawstring(x-1,y-1,...). Is this to be expected? Would be great if they could have the same offsets, so that you could switch between them without having to change coordinates each time. Maybe this is a feature request.

I currently display 5 to 10 stars (in the Per Track tab) with $drawstring because of its "aa" option. Do you think this might be a performance issue already? Or is this something you should only care about in the Per Second tab because of its more frequent updates?

Edit: $drawtext's x offset seems to be -2 compared to $drawstring (both using option "left")

I found that
Code: [Select]
$puts(T,0)
$font(,12,)

$textbutton(0,0,20,20,A,A,command:$puts(T,1),0-0-0,180-180-180)

$ifequal($get(T),1,$drawtext(1,0,20,20,20,0-0-0,),$drawtext(0,0,20,20,20,0-0-0,))


$drawtext always shows " 1 " whether I  press the textbutton or not...
Was it a bug?

yes, agree, but the antialiasing is rather bad. or is there an option for it (I don´t have a good translation of the current version´s explanation...)?

Is it possible to make a PSS button fire when you press the mouse button (not after you release it)?

Does a REFRESH command only work for the current PSS? Can Child Panels or parallel panels cause a refresh of specified panels?

I guess if TF mode is NOW PLAYING and playing is stopped, the target is the last played track. ( I think  )

Somehow it is the target. Information like title, artist and album remain accessible. But you can't use commands from within PSS anymore unless you start playing again.

It's not a bug I think.
I think you can only execute commands , not TF code, inside buttons.
Try this instead.
should work.

Code: [Select]
$init_ps_global(T,0)
$font(,12,)

$textbutton(0,0,20,20,A,A,SETGLOBAL:T:1;REFRESH,0-0-0,180-180-180)

$ifequal(%T%,1,$drawtext(1,0,20,20,20,0-0-0,),$drawtext(0,0,20,20,20,0-0-0,))

hope that helps

If commands dont execute then I think the target is lost.
I think you can still see the info is just because the panel is not refresh yet ( NOW PLAYING mode refresh the panel when you start playing)
