!!! Urgent !!!

please someone tell me how i can configure quick search to display in a playlist i create instead of making a new one with the search text i typed in. Pretty much i want it to go to a playlsit that says Search Results instead of "Search Results Jimi Hendirx Axis Bold As Love"

Thank you.

Well, seems you are using the "Library view" as your primary playlist, so...
Target Playlist: Library view (without "#")
Uncheck "append search string..."

This plug-in is awesome, but i do have some bugs to report for you. (And i know some of these have already been reported, but i'm going to report them again anyway. Maybe it'll help somehow.)

OK, i'm using Windows XP SP2, foobar 0.9.1, Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1v5, and quicksearch 2.1. (And, although i sorta doubt it matters, i have an Athlon XP with i think an nVidia chip set, maybe, and a GeForce2 graphics card. Also 32-bit colour depth. :shrug:) Here are the problems i've had:


(1) The display of the font itself is a little off. It might be an anti-aliasing problem or something. Sometimes it gets discoloured, like it is here:



(See the red on the b.) It also has dicoloration as i'm typing. For example, i'll type 'b' and it'll be the normal black-ish font colour, and as i continue typing (to 'be' and then to 'ben' and so on) it gets progressively darker and maybe bolder.


(2) As you can see in the above picture, the vertical alignment still seems a little off somehow. I think (judging by how edit boxes in other programs like Windows Explorer look) that it needs to go one pixel lower.


(3) I'm also having problems with the box clearing its contents. For example, in the following screen shot i have 'ben folds' in the box (#1), and then i decide i want to search for 'no doubt' next. So i highlight the contents of the box (#2) -- whether i do this with the mouse or keyboard doesn't matter -- and then i type in 'no doubt'...  but it just writes on top of 'ben folds' (#3). I also noticed (as someone mentioned on the last page) in the process of creating the screen shots that if i Alt+Tab to Photoshop and then back to foobar (causing the window to redraw) the glitch kinda fixes itself (#4).




(4) I'm getting the cut-off thing with long search strings as well. (In this screen shot you can also see the 'bold' discoloration i was talking about earlier.)




(5) Not really a bug, but do you know version 2.1 in the first post has a .exe extension?

Just tried 2.1, the hotkey now works perfectly thank you ! I would have a small request about the hotkey's behavior though. It would be great if it actually selected all the text while setting the focus, so you can start typing right away and erase the previous search if there was still something in there.
And about selecting all the text, Ctrl-A doesn't work here, but that's less important.

And finally I don't know why but when I download the file with opera the mime type is set to application/x-msdos-program, and the file extension is .exe. With IE it worked fine though. I don't really care as I can rename a file but if you can look into it some day..

I remember having the overwriting strings problem with several different apps back when I had an nvidia graphics card. If I remember correctly, the problem was the drivers. Do you guys have the latest nvidia drivers?

Have some trouble with this great plugin. When using quicksearch on main panel everything is ok. But when i place it in sidebar foobar crashes :/ On sidebar i have playlists and albumart. fb2k 0.8.3, quicksearch 1.3 (same trouble was in 1.2) Here is crashlog http://slil.ru/22787731

Another issue is width of search window. In 1.2 version i could resize it over the right border and in 1.3 it has fixed minimal size. Is there any solution? I've deleted 1.2 version and it would be great if someone help me to get it back.

Could there be an option to auto focus the search result playlist after successful search.

That should be already the case (the results playlist should be the one selected after a successfull search).

can you add an option for simply playing the first matching item instead of putting all matching items into a new playlist?

Hmm ... not sure this should be a priority; the plugin was aimed at building a playlist as a first goal.

.... i do have some bugs to report for you.
(1) ... (4) [Display problem]

(1) ...(4) Thanks for the detail report .... at least i see what's happening. I must admint I have no idea of how to fix this, and I could not reproduced on any of the two machines I have. I would suspect a systems issue (nvidia ... cleartype fonts ... ) and graphics cards drivers update might be a good idea. Please include your detailed configuration in further reports if any, so that we can circumvent the problem.
(5) I don't understanding this either ..... the link shows a dll.

Will be introduced in a later version, thanks for the idea.

See (5) above. Check the link name at the bottom of your browser. It should be
http://thx538.free.fr/Foobar/Quicksearch%20V2.x/foo_uie_quicksearch.dll so it is clearly a dll.

Could not reproduce .... the crash log does not show evidence of quicksearch being the reason for the crash. Try remove other components and let me know.

This was be design, 120 pixels IIRC.

I feel a bit stupid, like there should be an option like this, but that I've missed it..

How do I get this thing to just highlight the search result I want from my playlist, instead of creating a new one?

I've tried directing it to show results in my playlist, but it just clears the whole thing.

According to display problem... I have an Ati card, no cleartype and have the same problem

here's a reproduction... http://jaja.kn.vutbr.cz/~fuzek/glitch.avi
i wrote "aaa" to the box, then 3x backspace, "bbb"... click to playlist, 2x click to the box, "aaa"

EDIT: added the link and overview...

This option does not exist at the moment. I might introduce it in a future version.

I have made a tentative fix of the text display problem. Please download version 2.2 from first post and report if the issue still exists. Thanks.

As Seldaek says, the problem is not with the extension of the file but the MIME type. You can fix this with a webserver setting, or the easier way would just be to put it in a zip file which should be recognised as a regular binary file and preserve its .zip extension when downloaded.

For me the search box stay focused.

Maybe it's because I'm using the "Reset search string when successful" option.
EDIT: No, that's not it. Changed it and there was no different behavior.

In case you misunderstood. When I said playlist I didn't mean the playlist switcher. I meant the actual playlist where the songs are.

I know, but it must be a mime type configuration problem, in the apache settings the mime type for dll should I think be application/octet-stream, and free.fr must have it set to application/x-msdos-program, which result in good browsers following the rules to think it's a program and name it .exe. I don't have a solution besides zipping it next time as you don't have access to that kind of settings with Free hosting. The other solution would be to have a download.php, which would be like that:
Code: [Select]
<? header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="foo_uie_quicksearch.dll"');
echo file_get_contents('foo_uie_quicksearch.dll'); ?>

Then you link to download.php and I think that could fix it.

I have an issue with searching 'all playlists', search type 'match all' and tagz string 'standard' (the default one). E.g. I do have 20 songs from an artist, but when I type in the name, only a max of 5 songs show up (at least not all)

Well, I guess I found the problem. When searching 'all playlists' and using the history plugin, it searches only in the history playlist

FYI: Opera 9 beta downloads your file as *.exe, ppl will have to rename it to .dll
This may be an issue about http headers sent by the webserver.
