I am having a problem with the current beta.  The plugin won't let me on its configuration page access any of the options for selection action, nor doubleclick action.  When I select either of these two options no choices are available from the drop down menus.    And yes, I have the tree enabled.

i´m using the stable version for 8.3 now. very nice plugin thanks for that.
but it always give me the message "plalist.col doesnt seem to be a proper playlisttree-file" or something like when i startup foobar. after that, it works just fine, so no problem expect this strange message. i only edited the .col file which was together with the .dll.

any ideas?

There's probably an extra newline or some other character affecting the parsing.

I switched to a more robust file structure for 2.x.x, so hopefully problems likes this will not happen anymore.

hey, i have a very simple feature request that will go a long way. can you add in the options a drop down list of actions to perform when the enter key is pressed? just like the double click action. this way you can use devices other than the mouse to work with the tree.

Hi, I have some problems with current playlist tree. The most serious trouble is this: I create some queries using playlist tree and then I save it. After foobar2000 restart it is all lost. But the saved file seems to be O.K. So I think I might have to check somewhere to automatically load the .pts file at sturtup. Have I missed the option?

Another problem is interference between playlist tree and browser. They both use the same playlist called *browser* although in playlist tree configuration is set to use *playlist_tree* playlist.

And now my last question. How can I put 2 conditions in a query? I something like (genre IS rock) AND (%play_counter% EQUAL 0). What is the correct syntax? And why there is genre without "%" signs?

Thank you.

You can simple use "genre IS rock AND %play_counter% EQUAL 0"

The playlist tree uses the *Browser* playlist because the default selection action is "browse" and not "Playlist Tree/send to library playlist".


I have a request: I use "Playlist Tree/send to library playlist" as action, but I want the playlist be automatic activatet when I select an item (like with the browser).

You need to right click in the playlist tree panel, but not on any items.  You can then select one of the first two options to set up a automatic save and restore file.

I will look into it... Does the "Edge Style" option combo box work for you?

No.  It also has the same issue.

I want to create an average rating for each album and I'm using this format:
$avg(%rating%): %artist% - %album%|%title%

What I get are folders with the songs of an album which have the same rating,e.g.

3.00: ALBUM A (folder contains all songs of this album with rating 3)
4.00: ALBUM A
2.00: Album B
4.00: ALBUM B

Do I have to change the format or is this function not working correct by now?


$avg should be working, but the evaluation needs to be delayed until the item is displayed, not at the time of the initial query, which can be done using quoats, but its gets a little hairier because we want the inner %artist% not not be evaluated until inside the $avg.  Long story short, this might work:

Code: [Select]
'$tag('$char(39)'%artist%'$char(39)')' : %artist% - %album%|%title%


I should be adding the @quote operator into the formatting, but its not there yet.  Once I do, it shouild simplify this a little to:

Code: [Select]
@quote<$tag('%artist%')>



No it's not working for me, cause I don't get the value but $avg(%rating%)('%artist%').
I will wait for the @quote-function and try it again...

Have you tried selecting the item, then trying to scroll through the list with the arrow keys?  This wouldnt be a fix, but it will help me figure out more precisely what the problem is...

I am new to playlist tree panel and i was wondering if it was possible to create dynamic playlist name when left clicking on a folder in playlist tree panel.
For example i have a query for my folder soundtracks. I would like that if i open it and left click on "The Rock", it would create a playlist named "The Rock".
Is that possible?

Another question, i would like to have queries that does exactly the same as album list panel in  by directory structure view.how can i do that?

Thank you for the advice. And what about a playlist with music only. Is there something like "genre IS NOT Speech"? I tried this syntax but it doesen't work. What is the difference between IS and EQUAL, is it somewhere explained? I can not find it.

I add my vote for this feature.

And now I have one more problem with playlist_tree and browser. I renamed/moved some of my files, how can I update them? I see duplicate entries for some files and also dead entries. Rescanning the library only added new files, but didn't delete the non-existing ones.

Thank you all for your advices.

The IS operator compares text, while EQUAL compares numbers. Negation can be achieved by applying NOT to the whole expression, i.e. "NOT genre IS speech".

If you edit one of the album folders, what is its label?

Question!

Is there any way to reverse only the top-level sorting? e.g., i want to sort by date added, so i check the reverse box and i have it set to show the added date as an item in the tree. But then all the albums and tracks under the dates are reversed too. Can i have just the added date backwards and everything else normal, or is that not possible?

Also, what does the 'sort by display name after populating' thing do? Like all i can get it to do is make them sort in alphabetical order according to the format string... which i don't understand, because if i wanted to do that why wouldn't i just leave the sort box blank.

Oh, and two other things:

- How do i get PLT to sort my library play list correctly? I can't figure out how it's sorting, it's like semi-random. edit: Oh, i guess it's sorting the same way the tree is. Can i make it not do that? (Same problem as my first question, i guess; all my songs in the list are backwards.)

- Is there any way to get the leaves to show only for selected queries? i.e., i want to hide the individual tracks from all my folders except for one. I figured i could just get rid of the last item in the formatting thing (everything after the last '|' thing), but apparently not.

You could use some of the mathematics operators to reverse sort by date added.  I dont know what format your date added is in but if for example, you wanted to reverse sort based on tracknumber you could use $sub(999999,%tracknumber%)|...

Sort by alphabetical order is what it does, with folders higher precedence than leaves.

No this isnt possible.  Hiding leaves is an all or nothing thing.
