Oh I have to refresh from shift+click .. not "Refresh Browser Contents" I misunderstood you earlier. Now all works great thank you cwbowron.

Is it a good idea to do this every time precedence is changed? Can the browser component do this automatically?

A couple of requests. First, can you make an option to remove "[All]" from any of the browser windows. Or perhaps instead of letting us get rid of it entirely, there could be an option for [All] to populate the other browser windows only, and not the playlist. I want this partly because when I start up foobar, the broswer has [All] selected by default which makes the loading time a lot slower because it needs to populate the playlist with some 30,000+ files.

My second request has probably been asked already, but could you make the browsers remember their selections when shutting down foobar so that we can use the autoresume feature? Thanks

Release 1.2.1
New Features

    * Show itemcount in [All]
[...]


That's so much appreciated! Thank you for implementing this feature.

cheers

p.s. maybe you could set "if album, genre, artist, ..., -count >1 then album+"s", genre+"s", artist"s", ... .
Anyway.. the whole panelsystem is a very good work!

For readibily purpose I would rather like being able to switch the show itemcounts off.

I use the below code to show a nice note character aside the track (in a dedicated column) when it is playing or paused:

Code: [Select]
$if($or(%isplaying%,%ispaused),- $char(9835) -))


The problem is Browser doesn't seem to keep this information. When I switch between one filter to another, and then back to the one, the note character aside the currently playing track disappears.

Is there a workaround to this? If it is to be considered a bug, could it be fixed, Bowron? Thanks for your attention.

EDIT:

Let me just add an opinion... since it seems that, while it is being used, Browser makes foobar incapable of detecting the currently playing song, this problem could be very relevant, for it will certainly affect the functionality of other important components, like Album Art (clicking on the album art to focus the currently playing song will not work when you are using Browser instead of a regular playlist).

%isplaying% and %ispaused% are only available in the context of a playlist.  This is not a browser bug.  Browser is not meant to be a replacement for a playlist view.

Ah, I see. Sorry for the mistake. No way to workaround it, then? Like creating an "internal variable" (or whatever, don't know how to call it) specific for Browser, for detecting the current state of the song?

It's possible, but not practical.

If only because that would require refreshing the panels everytime a new tracks starts playing and that can take a long time in some instances.

Have you considered using the playlist as a single column panel with 1 field in the position you would use for yoru track name browser? I think this will accomplish the behavior you appear to by attempting, and playlist can process TAGZ to put your note character after the name also.

Is it possible to only work with the files in the current playlist? If yes, how would I achieve it?

There's no way to do this automatically at this point, but you can right click on the playlist tab and select "Browse", or select the files you want to browse and choose Browse from the context menu.

I use foo_browser in combination with foo_utils (naturally). As double click action I'd like to assign 'Edit Other - Add to Specified Playlist' but this doesnt work.
Is it possible to expand this option to include the existing playlists like in the context menu or the keyboard shortcuts? That way we could differentiate between the Browser playlist and a Playback playlist (like an editable playback queue)!

Hope you like the idea

Hum, sorry for taking so long to answer, I wasn't reading the forums.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Should I have a seperated panel (and playlist) with a playlist view dedicated to the note thing?

Hi, thanks for this great plugin

But I've a mistake. When I use foo_browser I've my tracks in double : one with old name and another with new name.

I've renamed my tracks with Godfather and foo_browser gets the both :

How can I corrige this ?
Rescan the library (Library ­> Rescan), Then update the browser panels (Library > Refresh Browser content)

@ cbowron

I tagged all my jazz tracks with performers too.

Now, if I'd like to choose to listen only to tracks where Miles Davis AND John Coltrane are playing, I have to use two panels.
If I'd like to listen to tracks where Miles is playing with anybody but Coltrane I think I can't.
Do you think it would be possible to have a modifier key, maybe Alt, working as an AND as it now Ctrl works as an OR when selecting more than one line in the same panel? And using Shft as NOT when added to Alt?

Examples:

Miles Davis
Ctrl + John Coltrane
= Miles Davis OR John Coltrane

Miles Davis
Alt + John Coltrane
= Miles Davis AND John Coltrane

Miles Davis
Alt + Shft + John Coltrane
= Miles Davis AND NOT John Coltrane

In short: Ctrl = OR; Alt = AND; Alt+Shft = AND NOT

Thanks.

Sorry if it seems obnoxious to quote myself, but I think something that really needs to be fixed is the breaking of the "remember playback position" feature. Could you maybe add an option to not populate the playlist at startup (but still populate the browser windows) or have what I suggested in my post above, by letting us disable "[All]" from populating the playlist? Doing so could also fix a problem caused by using uie_explorer with browser which sometimes causes the browser window and playlist to repopulate when a selection is made in uie_explorer, thus automatically selecting "[All]" and causing a lot of slowdown with a big library.
Another way of solving this would be to give us the option of requiring a double-click to activate a browser row.
Thanks again for all your hard work on this plugin. It's what has kept me hooked to foobar,

I second this request. The feature of foobar where it remembers the playlist position when you reopen it is incredibly useful, but browser ruins it by refreshing the playlist (which is an autoplaylist and cannot be modified anyway)

@fabiospark

The feature you wish is not so urgent for me but i would use it in some cases - very nice idea! Just like to say that for better recognition that feature could be combined with the browsers ability to have custom colors for selection: So that an "AND"-selection has a different color than an "OR"-one.

I didn't have time to test the last version of foo_browser but in the version before everything worked fine with resume playback

Resume playback works, but only with playlists not associated with the browser, or if your current browser playlist is "[All]" (as this gets loaded at startup by default).
