hello,
ive recently swtiched from ibiza to kameleon, all is woking fine except some fonts are not displeyed properly...
it looks like individual problem, but i would like to ask what might be causing it

here's a pic:

(i have had same issue with those fonts in ibiza on vista, was working fine on xp)

currently, im running Vista 64 @ 1920x1080 (native res)

thanks, Viggen.

it's because the default dpi of fonts on your Vista system has been modified by yourself to a greater value !

skins are designed for a default dpi size, so you are right, it's a personnal problem, easy to fix.

oh, didnt think about it...
by saying "easy to fix" you mean setting windows dpi back to 96 px?

i think ill go back to my modded ibiza, but problem still remains.

anyway thx for answer.

Agree!
Even though I like Curacao look more, Kameleon is so flexible & has many more features & easy to configure.
Can't think of going back to any other config

Hi..I need some help with ELPlaylist.

I have some tracks with a title, but has too a subtitle tag (<PART>) or/and a remix tag(<VERSION>).
For example:
In the tag I have got this:
TITLE : Beyond The Eyelids
PART : Part One: Fearless
VERSION: Live

ELPlaylist only shows - Beyond The Eyelids

I would like something as: Beyond The Eyelids - Part One: Fearless (Live)

Thanks a lot! rolleyes.gif

When you change window settings like add the sidebar, close the CSP and what not, how do you save these settings so you don't have to do them every time to open up foobar?

Also, I can't for the life of me tell why my collection is sorted this way: I am using artist/album:


As you can see, that Pretenders album is split up for some reason, I do not see any difference in the tags; Anyone know why it's spited up in the playlist?

Kameleon by Br3tt

One part of your Pretenders album has the disc number in tag, the other doesn't have, so they are splited.

I think the default sorting is %album artist% - %date% - %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%

After changing settings, go to Preference/Colums UI/Export, export your settings to an .fcl file, then Import it

I have been playing around with Extended Variables, and I am not getting anywhere.  Here is the structure of my music collection:

F:\Music\"Artist Name"\"Album Name"\"Artist Name - Album Name - Cover.jpg"

For Example:

F:\Music\Opeth\1998 - My Arms, Your Hearse\Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse - Cover.jpg

Here is what I thought would work using Extended Variables:

kameleon_coverart_path    F:/Music/%artist%/%album%/

kameleon_coverart_filename    %artist% - %album% - Cover.jpg

It does not load any of the covers.  I have tried so many variations, and nothing works.  I can get Chronflow to work easy, but this has me baffled. 

Fallstaff: do you have any ideas?  Is there any way to edit the scripting so that instead of using your default, the default would be something like my file structure?

it works perfectly, just tested like the way you want :



be sure that your TAG and folder names are the same to make that working.

you can try for the path to simply set it like this :

kameleon_coverart_path    default

Okay, I figured out what the problem is:  All of the folders that contain each album have the date of the album release before the name of the album. 

For example: 2000 - Mer De Noms

If I delete the date, everything works.  Unfortunately, I really need to have the date before each album so I can sort the albums chronologically instead of alphabetically.  Here is the code I am using, but it is not working:

kameleon_coverart_path    F:/Music/%artist%/%date% - %album%/

Does the %date% function work in extended variables?  That is the only reason why my covers are not showing.  The date on the folder of each album is throwing it all off...

I am almost there.  Any hints?

I did a little change to show this information, but I don't know why that information is not capitalized. Take a look plz:

Try this:

$puts(title,%title%i$f(%version%,' ('%version%')'))

It is capitalized judging by your screenshot?

anyone know how to prevent playback statistics custom from bringing foobar to the front when updating tags?  Occasionally, not all the time, foobar will come to the front when updating the playcount.

%date% is not handled in Kameleon for foo_exvar like said in the doc :

"IMPORTANT: foo-exvar do not handle variables like %var%, except %artist%, %album%, %album artist%, %band%, %performer% and %discogs_artist_id% because i have tweaked the code in K to handle them."

i can add it, i'll try to post a new version tonight.

I should have known that.  Thank you for hopefully adding it.  This is a great program! Thanks a billion

Is there a way to add something in foo_exvar so it can look for album art one level up in the directory structure?

Something similar to this:

$if($findfile(%__ART_PATH__%),
  $puts(art_path,%__ART_PATH__%)
,
  $if($findfile($substr(%path%,1,$strrchr($replace(%path%,\%filename_ext%,),\))Cover.jpg),
      $puts(art_path,$substr(%path%,1,$strrchr($replace(%path%,\%filename_ext%,),\))Cover.jpg)
  ,
  $puts(art_path,$get(foo_path)'images/'$get(config_name)'/cover/nocover.png')
  )
)

So I figured out this only happens when foobar is behind some windows, not when it's minimized.  For example, I will have foobar playing (not minimized) and be surfing in firefox.  When playback statistics custom updates the count (doesn't matter which setting, i.e. after 60 seconds, 50% etc) foobar will come to the front and I won't be able to click on anything until I click on foobar.  If foobar is minimized, this does not happen.  What other methods are there to update the little numbers by the songs besides psc?

Edit:  It had something to do with the tags themselves, I resaved them in mp3tag and the problem went away

fcl file updated, now %date% handled for path or filename in foo_exvar

http://br3tt.free.fr/files/K/kameleon_1.2.2.fcl

enjoy!

I still cannot get it to work using:

F:/Music/%artist%/%date% - %album%/


Am I doing the date part wrong?

I can get F:/Music/%artist%/%album%/ to work if I take off the date but as soon as I add back the date to the folder and use the code above, the covers will not load.  I appreciate the help though...

it works perfectly ! just re-tested with the same syntax as yours

be sure you have imported the new fcl, and that the TAG %date% has the same value that you use for the album folder...

Okay, now I feel like an idiot.  I forgot to import the flc.  I just copied over the old file with the new one.  Everything works perfectly like you said.  Everything is as it should now.  Thank you so much for this, it is perfect now
