foo_title, new version for 0.9

Yes, it could be certainly fixed somehow, but just as the vista bug, I'm afraid I wont' be able to get to it in the near future.

No problem, just saying so that if you ever get to it, you'll have something to do.

I know you can't get to it, but wanted to report it anyway. It appears that foo_title makes my Windows XP shut down cancel: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=60824

If I have the component set to always display in combination with 'only when new song starts', shutting down windows will cause the plugin to switch to display 'never'. And then I can't shut down windows, unless I manually exit foobar.

Hi, I'm using foo_custominfo to rate my music.
Is there any possibility to update the %rating% with foo_title?
eg in <action>
RATE 1
RATE=1
RATING 1
RATING=1
doesn't work at all.

Is it possible? and so yes, what am I doing wrong?

The stuff in <action> must be a menu item, therefore this is not possible.

@Quiark:

First off, thanks for this great plugin, yeeaaaaahh!!!

Now, when i minimize foobar to tray without foo_title he only 'eat' 10MB of RAM, then with foo_title enabled consumed RAM stays the same as it be on window maximized (from 40MB to 120MB ~).

Why this behavior?

Can you fix it?

Thanks in advance.
(sorry my bad english...its like growing from my ass..., i know this..)

p.d: Still you develops this component?? Some new features??

I was never really concerned about memory usage. After all, it's .NET, which just eats a little bit more memory. On the other hand, I don't think there is any memory leak either, because most of the code is managed. As for minimized/maximized foobar, there should be no difference, because foo_title is only working with it's own window and is completely independent from the main window. You may have measured the memory before a garbage collecting was done or you maybe didn't consider the memory that was currently on the swap.

I don't currently develop this component, so there is nothing new. However, the code is open, so anybody can do something  And because it's mostly in C#, I think it should be pretty easy

mmm...i don't think so...
I have measured the memory at every step.
I have the swap file disabled in my O.S..., i don't have swap file at all.., i have 2 GB of RAM on XP.., i don't need swap file...


well..:

Foobar maximized: from 40MB to 120MB ~ (with a lot of coverflows, obviously...)

Foobar minimized to tray: 10MB ~

now..:

Foobar maximized with foo_title: from 40MB to 120MB ~ (nothing changes...)

but...:

Foobar minimized to tray with foo_title: from 40MB to 120MB ~ (the same....)

As you'll see, RAM still charged when foo_title is enabled and send foobar to tray.

Why?

Understand me?

I like foo_title, but i want to minimize foobar to tray like without foo_title with only 10MB in RAM too.

Greetngs.


EDIT: Problem solved. Perhaps, cause' I had done the change between foo_ui_panels component from the 'buggy' from 14,2 version to 14,9...i don't know...

Sorry for waste your time...

For image reading the .NET framework is used. However, when looking for an album art image, only the following extensions are tried: jpg, png, bmp, gif.

So the solution is to rename the jpeg files to jpg.

I got a new machine and switched to Vista. I really miss foo_title!

the "now playing" gadget is nice stuff, but I prefer by far foo_title.

any chance to have a fix for foo_title on Vista ?

Not exactly what you want.
But CD Art Display is a nice little program.

(Yes, it's an external program, but on the other side I think it's running more smoothly and "just working")

Is possible for foo_title to show cover images from a folder inside the folder of the musics, like Artwork/*.*?
I use this in Album Art Panel and work.

Ok, I found in this thread the answer.

I'm pretty sure that this may already have been answered, but is there a way to have two instances of this running? If not I would like to request it.

Not possible at the moment. I was thinking about it too.

Ok, I just installed Windows Vista and have been able to reproduce the problem. Now the difficult part - to fix it:)

Its interesting that it ran just fine in Vista RC1.

Quiark is still working on a release, but if you get the latest source from SourceForge, you can compile foo_title to work on Vista!  This is great news, and soon we will all be using foo_title again.  Thanks to Quiark for the updates.

Note: I can't say when a new release would be available... please be patient.

So the problem with Vista turned out to be a small one. So grab your foo_title 0.7.1 from sourceforge

0.7.1
    - foo_managedWrapper works on Vista again
    - auto restoring on top position every now and then
    - foo_title no longer prevents Windows from shutting down
    - skins are now also loaded from the user profile directory (if enabled in foobar)

foobar2000 0.9.5 required

Thanks Quiark for the Vista port 

However, i have an issue with option "foo_title enabled only when foobar is minimized"
I tried hard to reproduce :
1. If I close foobar when it is minimized (from systray) then, at next start, it will restart minimized. foo_title behaves as it should : foo_title shows or hides when i further minimize/maximize foobar
2. If I close foobar when it's maximized, at the next start foobar will start maximized, but foo_title will not behave properly : never show when i minimize foobar

I run foobar 0.9.5.2 on vista.

EDIT : oops. Even when i do 1 above, after a minimize/maximize/minimize, foo_title will not show anymore. It works only once actually.
