A small status update: I've managed to switch jobs and relocate to Netherlands, which should secure my livelihood for mid-term (and hopefully long-term as well). It will be a little hectic while I'm settling down, but after that I should have enough free time and (more importantly ) mental energy to work on my components (especially once I secure a proper workstation instead of my subpar-performance netbook).

Meanwhile, I was working a bit on v2 of SMP in the background. It's still far from ready, but I wanted to share a sneak-peek on some of it's features.

One of the main goals of v2 is to make SMP much friendlier for JS devs, both for those who have experience working with JS (e.g. NodeJS, web API) and for those who don't. This is achieved by replacing most(all?) ad-hoc solutions with standard or standard-like solutions:
- New NodeJS-like package format instead of ad-hoc packages.
- Module import/export support instead of `include`.
- API rewrite:
  - 'Modulerised' API: all API is now accessible through built-in modules.
  - WebAPI-like/NodeJS-like API: replaced old API with standard analogues. E.g. `Graphics` > CanvasAPI, static hardcoded event callbacks >`addEventListener` in corresponding objects, `FileSystemObject` and various file text APIs > nodejs fs module.
  - Async/off-thread methods where needed: in v1 some methods perform very CPU intensive operations, which blocks the main thread and makes UI unresponsive. Async methods instead return a Promise which will be resolved in the worker thread, thus removing the blocking.
  - Huge performance and memory consumption improvements.
  - Lots of new stuff that was not possible or available in the v1.
- TypeScript type bindings for SMP API.
- v1 compatibility mode.

Progress on v2 can be tracked via this ticket: https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/issues/213

See ya all later and stay safe

I made a change in JScommon.js  (line 975) for the Simple Playlist Manager sample and put the background image in the correct size.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   drawImage(gp, img, 0, 1, ww, wh, 0);

Now I have to center it, does anyone know how to do it?

// ===================================================== // Wallpaper

function setWallpaperImg(path, metadb) {
    var fmt_path = fb.TitleFormat(properties.wallpaperpath).Eval().replace(/^\.?\\/, fb.ProfilePath);
	var fmt_path_arr = utils.Glob(fmt_path);
	if (fmt_path_arr.length > 0) {
		var final_path = fmt_path_arr[0];
	} else {
		var final_path = null;
	}

	if (metadb && properties.wallpapermode > -1) {
		var tmp_img = utils.GetAlbumArtV2(metadb, properties.wallpapermode);
	} else {
		if (final_path) {
			tmp_img = gdi.Image(final_path);
		} else {
			tmp_img = null;
		}
	}
	if (!tmp_img) {
		if (final_path) {
			tmp_img = gdi.Image(final_path);
		} else {
			tmp_img = null;
		}
	}

	p.wallpaperImg = null;
	var img = FormatWallpaper(tmp_img, ww, wh, 2, 0, 0, "", true);
	return img;
}

function a() {
   const handleList =  plman.GetPlaylistItems(plman.PlayingPlaylist);
   const tags = fb.TitleFormat('$if($not(),1,0)').EvalWithMetadbs(handleList);
   console.log(tags);
}
a();

Should output all 1s. but as you can see it output 0s.

[$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1$not(0),0$not(0))] // 1 or 0
[$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0)] // outputs nothing

[$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),1,%date%,$add(%date%,1))] // 2018
[$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,1,1$not(0),0$not(0)),5,%date%,$add(%date%,1))] // 2019
$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),1,%date%,$add(%date%,1)) // 2018
$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,1,1$not(0),0$not(0)),5,%date%,$add(%date%,1)) // 2019

Code: [Select]

[$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1$not(0),0$not(0))] // 1 or 0
[$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0)] // outputs nothing

$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0) // 1 or 0

Lets see more "nonsense" examples:

Code: [Select]

[$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),1,%date%,$add(%date%,1))] // 2018
[$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,1,1$not(0),0$not(0)),5,%date%,$add(%date%,1))] // 2019
$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),1,%date%,$add(%date%,1)) // 2018
$ifequal($ifequal(%RATING%,1,1$not(0),0$not(0)),5,%date%,$add(%date%,1)) // 2019

$ifequal(%RATING%,5,%date%,$add(%date%,1))

Change line 132 to this

Code: [Select]

properties.background.value = utils.ColourPicker(window.ID, properties.background.value);

and line 136...

Code: [Select]

properties.text.value = utils.ColourPicker(window.ID, properties.text.value);

[...] (conditional section)

Evaluates the expression between [ and ]. If it has the truth value true, its string value and the truth value true are returned. Otherwise an empty string and false are returned.

Example: [%artist%] returns the value of the artist tag, if it exists. Otherwise it returns nothing, when artist would return "?".

[$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)s] // 1s, 0s, nothing
[$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o)] // 1s, 0o, nothing

[$if([%RATING%],$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)s] // nothing
[$if([%RATING%],$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o)] // nothing

$if([%RATING%],$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)s // 1s, 0s, s
$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o) // 1s, 0o, o

$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1s,0s),) // 1s, 0s, nothing
$if([%RATING%],$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o),0$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o)),)// 1s, 0o, nothing

I'm using the ColourPicker like this, but I'd like to be able to set its starting value to that stored property. At present, it always opens set to (0, 0, 0). Can this be done?

Evaluates the expression between [ and ]. If it has the truth value true, its string value and the truth value true are returned. Otherwise an empty string and false are returned.

Discards contents of the bracket when no fields referenced inside are present. Commonly used to create parts of formatting scripts that are active only when relevant fields are found. Example: %artist% - [%album% / ]%title%

Otherwise how do you do this?

Code: [Select]

[$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)s] // 1s, 0s, nothing
[$if([%RATING%],$not("")$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0),)$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o)] // 1s, 0o, nothing

$if(%RATING%,$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0)s)) // 1s, 0s, nothing
$if(%RATING%,$ifequal(%RATING%,5,1,0)$ifequal(%DATE%,2018,s,o)) // 1s, 0o, nothing

What I need at the moment is an example of the syntax required for a GUI element to have the same colors as the DUI, only with a different font, and an example of how to display fb2k's title formatting as text.

Is there a simple method (IE: plman...) to restore a removed playlist? I'd like to add that to JSPlaylist.

Currently get an error everytime I try to import a package stating "Corrupted package: can't find `package.json`"

 I dont know if Im missing something ashmedly basic, or if something needs to be fixed.

Any help would be appreciated

I've attempted to istall these packages (not both at the same time), and I get the same error with both.
