Hi, I've got a problem on how groups are created.

If I sort my groups by %artist%, I would expect to have only one group for each different artist.
But instead, there are multiple groups for the same artist created. Could it be that more than one group is created because the songs come from different albums... that wouldn't make sense as I have them just sorted by %artist% and nothing else :/

How can I prevent single columns from further sub-sorting of groups, so that I have one group for one artist?

SCPL does not sort, it only groups. You need to develop a functional sort string from either:
File> Preferences> General> "Sort incoming files by:"
-or-
Edit> Sort> "Sort by.."

For reference here is my own current sort string:
Code: [Select]
%album artist%|$if(%tracknumber%,%date%,0)|$if(%tracknumber%,%cdid%,)|$if(%tracknumber%,%album%, )|%discnumber%|%tracknumber%|%path_sort%

Once you have developed a working sort string you can then place your attention to the SCPL group by function. SCPL will group entries together but it will not sort your entries to fit those groups.

I' having problems with keyboard shortcuts in the latest version.
When I change between layouts, shortcuts doesn't work, until I restart or minimize-maximize foobar.


My problem is with certain keys no matter if I minimize it or not.
My spacebar no longer can be used for Play\Pause
My arrow keys can no longer scroll through my playlists
My other keys seem to still work however

I'm sticking with this version though because of the excellent job in reducing the memory used!!

Thanx Terrstrial

So I use albumart in the playlist, I do the thing where you put the album cover in the image of a cd case and I've seen many others do this too. Well, when you have albumart that is not a 1:1 aspect ratio you end up with half an empty cd sticking out which is kind of ugly so I whipped up a bit of code to fill in the space with white but only when the albumart is present. This way you still see the empty cd case when no art is available.

Code: [Select]
// Album Art
$if($get(album_mode),$ifgreater($mul(%_height%,%_itemcount%),95,
$imageabs2(110,95,,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,3)),,%_height%,2,,images\emptycd.png,)
$if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,$if2(%cdid%,[%artist% - ]$replace(%album%,?,,:,)).*)),
$drawrect(17,$sub(5,$mul(%_height%,$sub(%_itemindex%,1))),84,84,brushcolor-255-255-255 pencolor-null)
$imageabs2(84,84,,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,5)),,%_height%,17,,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,$if2(%cdid%,[%artist% - ]$replace(%album%,?,,:,)).*),)
,)
,),)
* this is for art in the itemlist not the group headers.

Love your plugin but can isn't there a way to make it when you select several songs with ctrl click and then rightclick that your selection doesn't go away?

I request the feature to add "dead lines" (an item row that takes up space but has no song there and is skipped over when playing) for layout purposes.

Pretty much, I want to display the full album art even if there isnt enough items in a group to display the whole thing.

I'm not sure how this would work, maybe some variable in the coding to say where to put the dead rows and how many. But hey, its a thought. It's probably been requested before too...

A minimum group size has already been suggested somewhere in the thread which was an interesting idea. I guess it shouldn't be too hard to implement.. from my no programing skills at all point of view.

Oh yeah I remember that being requested, just didn't know what a minimum group size was.

It all makes sense now. >_<

For the time being you could add the Location "silence://1" and blank out the track info if its %path% starts with "silence:".

@ Fresh: What you want to have is 'Group Display' (I guess the different tracks do not belong to the same album) and furthermore I guess you want the tracks to be grouped by album.

Group by: [%album%]


Group Display: [%artist%] - [%album%]
or
Group Display: $align(center,middle)[%artist%] - [%album%]


hope this helps

First of all you have to read.
As you found the 1st post, you should use the given link, it refers to the wiki.
The only thing which is somewhat stupid is that it refers to the history of that wiki, therfore you have to use the 'foobar 2000'-link at the top-left of the referred page - you'll check it out.
You will have to 'install' ColumnsUI and after some times of reading and simply trying you could understand what this configuration-thing is about.
Don't ask for service, better give yourself some service.. become fresh 

edit: typo

Hey this helped me to solve a problem 
Now I added in Group by [%artist%] - [%album%]
I had some problems that headers from other albums didn't appear in playlist when sending albums to playlist
Thanks

I've a request.

Could you add the feature that the group display will be removed if no code is set? It's because I want have a simple layout "%artist% - %title%" with no headline. I could do it with Columns Playlist, but i would miss the skinning-thing  .

btw: Is the sourcecode somewhere available for download?

If the result of group by is "!noheader!" then no header will be created, for any of those groups. I personally group by %album% or "1" depending on the playlist name, that way there is a header for the playlist in single mode.

hey there ...this plugin is the bomb I really love it ...thx for that

the only real major problem I sometimes have with it is that I can't sort/move tracks around in a playlist by hand

will this be possible in the future?
