I apologise if this is a stupid question, but I'm not a regular user of foobarv0.9 (I usually use v0.8).

But anyway, I have a decent computer in front of me (for a change) and wanted to try out the newer version - its just, none of the columns ui components I installed seem to be anywhere (ui_tabs, ui_album_list, that sort of thing).

Can anyone help?

This is a quick one, and dumb, but I can't find the answer and boy do I feel silly asking.

What is the square character that's used in trackinfo and column display to designate a color?  It surrounds the hex designation for a color, like []9c9c9c[].  I'm assuming $char() something or the ALT+xxxx shortcut?

wraithdu: I believe you are looking for $char(3) however I would strongly suggest moving from $char(3)BBGGRR$char(3) codes to $rgb(rrr,ggg,bbb) codes because $char(3) does not paste into the forum properly and it will be difficult to interact with others when using that code. Also, I personally find RGB much more easy to work with and you can easily find values from the windows color chooser without messing with bin to hex conversions

DarkBlackCorner: I assume you found updated version of your components from the "Wanted v0.9 plugin ports" page?

Are there any mirrors or such for musicmusic's stuff?  I am very interested in trying to mess with Foobar's UI.

Columns ui is nice, but i have little problem:

In standard UI when i press play button on my keyboard it starts playing or pause, but in colums UI when i press it i get error  that it did not found play in actual directory or something like that (i don't know exact error now, beause i'm on differnt computer). How to fix it?

lolita: a little more info plz ... but you may want to check prefs/display/columns ui/ on the layout tab ... right click on either the horiz. splitter or vertical splitter and insert panel/toolbars/buttons ... then after it's inserted click on the configure button ... at least thats what i did.  columns ui can actually use any and all of the ui elements from the std_ui and you can put them wherever you want and assign buttons and commands seperately.

musicmusic ... can there possibly be added a command like $rate(); that maybe can use an 2 icons (.ico) included in the dll (an empty and filled in star [16x16]) ... the command could be something like $rate(#ofStarsToUse,%metadateFieldThatHoldsThe#ofStarsToFillIn%) ... we can just add this command to a column and that way we don't need any other extensions to display the ratings of our songs.

lolita:

File> Preferences> General> Keyboard Shortcuts

Look through the "Assigned Shortcuts" list, do you have a "Key" entry for "Play / pause (MM)" ?

File> Preferences> General> Keyboard Shortcuts

- Click [Add New]
- Click on the Field "Key" toward the bottom
- Press the multimedia key for play on your keyboard
- "<unknown>" should change to "Play / pause (MM)"
- Check the box "
  • Global Hotkey"
    - In the action tree select:
    Main> Playback> "Play or pause"
    - Click [Save All] then [Close]

"Little" issue with this is that when i create new keyboard shotcut click on unknown press play/pause button on keybor it don change to anything.

It sounds like something else may be intercepting your keypresses. Did your keyboard come with software? Have you tried updating, reconfiguring, or removing that software?

For sure kx drivers do, but why it worked with standard and not with columns ui?

Is there a way to hide/remove/disable the main window title bar?
I know I can set up a full screen panel but I'm asking if it is possible without having to use the plugin foo_dockable_panels.

Thanks.


I asked this in the General forum but, following Yotsuya hint I'm posting it here as a feature request to have an option in columns ui: "Show title bar" as we already have "Show task bar".
It would also be nice having something like: "Show separators between panels" in order to have a totally merged background if every panel has the same background color.

Thanks.

To moderators: please don't consider this as double posting.  Thanks.

Oh, that'd be so great. I hate to mess around with those dockable things.

I'm sorry to ask this but is this plugin even being worked on anymore?

Hmmm....site seems to be be down. Been checking for the last few hours. Unfortunately, my foobar needed to be reinstalled.

Does anybody have a copy of the newest version of this plugin?

EDIT: Never mind....Site came back up and I grabbed a copy.

Hello,
I need a little help!
I want to change the Display of my Album column in my playlist, as nearly everyone of you is doing.
Actually i have the Album name for every single track, and its allways he same.

What I want is that just the first one contains the album name, and if the 2. 3. n. contains the same album name just to show nothing. If the next song has a different album name, show this one and check the following files.

I see that on nearly every screenshot but i didn't find a code for just that. I don't want to change the complete foobar.

Can anyone help me out of that? I searched a lot, but all what I found was fsc files which changes everything i dont want.

greets from Germany
Merlin

Hixxy: see also this other recent thread describing the same thing.

File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab

Select the album column on the left and enter use this code in the "Display" subtab on the lower right:

$select(%tracknumber%,%album%)

I assume you are running Columns UI because of this thread, but for reference if anyone is not using ColumnsUI then go to:
File> Preferences> Display> Title Formatting> "Playlist" Tab
And change %album% to $select(%tracknumber%,%album%)

Regardless of which UI you use, this "trick" will make the album name appear only for the first track of an album, so it will need you to sort your playlist in track order to work as you expect.
