%el_is_hide_item% works now in group row, and thus you can make your subgroups have 0 rows only when they are collapsed. Something like:
$if($and(%el_is_collapsed%,$strcmp(%el_group_depth%,1)),0,3)

which is not a perfect solution, but it may suit you. (It works for me as I only use subgroups for multiple discs inside an album, and I don't want to collapse discs one by one, only the album header)

i haven't find how to make it work  and you ?

maybe a stupid question, but are there some configs online for ElPlaylist?
I can only find complete foobar configs but I only need the playlist part...  I still have to figure out the code for making it my self and some good examples would be great

using Import/export function of ELPlaylist to share config is easier  ...

using Import/export function of ELPlaylist to share config is easier  ...

I didn't try it yet but yes, it should be able to read embedded album art like CUI. (which I believed it also use "core artwork reader" thing)

But I think you will need to put command for it to make it work. this is an example from the doc

$imageabs(10,10,50,50,%path%,artreader)

-> adding 'row height' value in 'General/Group by' frame to allow to have different group height depending on the 'group by' preset used ...

Another thing, is anyone else experiencing slow drawing of the item rows with the latest version? When I scroll my elpl now it's jerky and lags the scrollbar, and when I mouse wheel scroll it takes ages to go anywhere. I thought it was my titleformatting (album art etc) but I just tried it with a minimal titleformat and it was still slow. The group headers are fine...

@ the developper :

great work, this is definitively the best playlist components for foobar, thanks again

just a request very important for design multi-preset layout/group by :

-> adding 'row height' value in 'General/Group by' frame to allow to have different group height depending on the 'group by' preset used ...

it's a big lake cause i need to design a preset for album view (with a row height of 20 pixels) and a Singles view with a higher height (~40 pixels) and i can't

thanks to take this in consideration for your next release please,

thanx by advance !

keep the good work
