one more suggestion concerning filters - ability to sort by column (or ability to set default sorting for filter)

in my case I'd like to have filter by $date(%added%) to listen to music recently added to media library and current implementation sorts dates always in ascending order so that newest items are in the end of the list which is not convenient for this very purpose

Oh, thanks a lot, foobar rocks as always :)

and regarding this "bug" I thought I had found
Quote from: kompot on
Diving further into filters - found one more bug (?). I have multiple tabs used. Each one has some (2-4) filter panels. So - 10+ filter panels total.

And when I change filter (make selection) on one tab it affects some (but definitely not all) other filters on other tabs. I guess filters within only splitter (that contains selected item) should be taken into account when calculating intersection.
But filter search should affect all tabs of cause (and it's great that it does - gives you much more flexibility than with foo_facets).

I guess that I was a bit messed up with settings - everything works as it should
sorry for confusing you

Hi. I'm a newbie in programming foobar2k plugins. And I have a little question about Columns UI.
How can I select item in filter? I've already found it's window (ui_extension::window) using service_enum_t, but I don't know how to determine it's type (Genre, Artist or Album) and  select an item in it. Is it possible to do?

Columns UI

No, it doesn't expose an API for that.

Also you created your own Filter window instance rather than found an existing one.

I have a suggestion for this component / the filter panel.

Adjustable background colors per entry. See these pics:



Now that would be really neat!

I've put up version 0.3.8.7 with some filter search changes amongst other things.

I'll be waiting for that API.
Can you elaborate on what your component will do?

possible bug report

hey man, firstly: i'm a long time user of CUI. it's an absolutely crucial component to enjoying foobar2000.

anyways, a problem i'm having that i've confirmed with another guy is that when you've got foobar 2000 (v 1.0+) and columns UI, when you double click on a playlist it automatically starts playing the music in that playlist as opposed to renaming it with the popup dialog box.

i think this first started happening to me when foobar hit v1.0 and ever since then it's been driving me absolutely crazy

also delayed click still works, but the double click automatically starts playing the playlist you double clicked on no matter what (as in doesn't matter if something else is already playing or if there are files enqueued or changing any options in the preferences page).

if it makes a difference, here's my setup: http://i49.tinypic.com/fz96jc.jpg

also i've tried removing components too and it still happens.  i remember though before 1.0 it would work fine and bring up the change name dialog when you double clicked a playlist name.

so is this a bug? thanks a bunch!

i have been happily using foobar on xp for years, but i finally switched to win7 and updated foobar as well. mostly i just want things to work like how i had them in 0.9x, but i have no idea what components were enabling what features and if there is a replacement. these are the things that i am stumped by:

--i am using columns_ui--

TAB STACK:
--why can't i add the album lister? right now i am trying to get by using this new 'filter' pane and it is NOT the same at all
--i can't rename any tabs??? i currently have a tab called 'vertical splitter' which would be much nicer as 'album art/track info' or something.
--tabs are stuck on top of the panel. used to be able to choose either top or bottom. no good?
PLAYLISTS:
--how do i lock a playlist from deletion? i often make temp playlists and just as often use ctrl+w to delete them. but then i accidentally delete my autoplaylists that i want to always be there. doh.
--i used to be able to switch between playlists using ctrl+tab. no good?
CONTEXT MENU:
--on my old version of foobar, i could highlight a track and generate a playlist from it that contained similar tracks by album/artist/directory. is this a plugin i can get back? it was in the context menu and then i made hotkeys from it. it rocked.
SEARCH BAR:
--something other than the 'filter' search bar panel. it should just display the search results in the current playlist. that's it. gotta be a way to get this..
TAGGING:
--i like to have %rating% and %mood% tags display in the playlist, each as a single dot of different shades (e.g. '1'=dark blue; '5'= hot pink). anyone got such a script handy? i forget how it worked.
ARTWORK PANEL:
--it shows a hand pointer when i hover over it, like it is a weblink or something. but clicking on it does nothing, as far as i can tell. is there a way to set left/right/double-click options for it? would also be good for the 'item details' panel as well.

this is mine (altered for simplicity), you can build from that:

Code: [Select]
$rgb(255,255,255)
$repeat(?,%rating%)
$rgb(0,0,0)
$repeat(?,$sub(5,%rating%))


result:

I just want to add some items to context menu, like "Go To Artist" and "Go To Album", that will search for corresponding Filter Panel and select needed item. I've seen that in some other players, but I can't find something similar for foobar2000. Of course, I could miss it...
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

P.P.S. I know some similar things like foo_dbsearch, but they don't affect Filter Panel. They work with detached windows or with playlists.

I've noticed weird behaviour of album art resizing in the NG playlist.

For Columns UI i've resized some album art to 100x100 pixels. At the Columns UI settings the width is also set to 100 pixels. So i assumed the image would look 1:1 the same as the original image, but it actually looks different!

After some investigation i noticed Columns UI resizes the album art from 100x100 to 100x99.

I've also tried a 100x99 image, which turns out perfect in Columns UI.


I'm not sure if this is stuff you want to fix anytime soon, but i would surely appreciate it .

edit: btw i'm using version 0.3.8.6

Hi,
Indeed you are correct, the display height is a pixel short. It appears to be an error in the reflection height calculation code, so if you disable them it should be OK.

Thanks for the report; I'll fix it for the next version.

Is there a way to make album art appear using the show artwork in groups option only if there actually is artwork? I want it to show nothing rather than the "image not found" musical note thing, if possible. I'm pretty sure it can't be done using just the options available to me, so is there a plugin or something available?

Another quick question, which I don't really want to post in the support forum. Until yesterday, when I typed something into the search field the results will automatically appear in the NG playlist view. Now the only way to see them is to double click on one of the results that appear in the filters, which will change what is playing. This is annoying when I'm just trying to find something or organize music while listening to something else. Any guesses on how I screwed this up?

Screenshot of the problem, in case you didn't understand what I meant:

The search works properly using foo_uie_quicksearch, which I'm using now, so never mind that question. I'd still like to get the first thing to work though.

Columns UI

Does anyone have any idea if there is a script floating around that can grab an artist picture or something off of last.fm for use in the "artwork view" panel? I've tried googling, but I can't find anything.

I think I might be bad at google.

there is a biography component that can download/display images. it shows text as well but you can turn that off.

I still have no idea what ES or EL playlist do, though. PSS I understand.

I have experienced several crashes when drag the playlist dynamically, and sometimes the playlist is blank when I change one to another. The interface I used is Xchange 360.

It seems that Item Properties doesn't receive changes made to playback statistics db: If I rate a track, Item Properties doesn't show change until I play the track again of course, same for playcount etc. - info is presented as on track startup. OTOH everything is fine in Item Details or elsewhere in CUI

Is there a bug with the feature to display album art, when the option 'Built in foobar2000 artwork reader mode:' is set to 'Embedded and external artwork'? For some reason albums without art sometimes get a cover other than the default 'no album art'-image when this option is set. This happens most frequently in playlists with mixed songs. I've tried to remove the album art sources but then some albums without art get covers from files with embedded images instead.

What is the difference between the two bottom options in the 'Built in foobar2000 artwork reader mode'-menu? Other then the obvious above.

When the I use the option 'Embedded' then everything seems to work fine so I'm no too concerned about this just curious about the weird behavior described above.
