Foo_utils "Edit other/Send to playlist/1 - Browser" type commands are only accessible from the buttons customise menu (i.e. for the foobar buttons bar). They do not appear in the commands in the drop-down in the panels-ui.

Yep, I noticed that back with trackinfo_mod, and Terrestrial confirmed it here. Looks like it carried over to this.

I tried making a workaround by putting a foobar buttons bar behind my custom buttons panel, but it didn't work so well . If Terrestrial does indeed add this functionality, it'd be rad

You answer can be found on the last three pages of this thread.

I've just worked out that when buttons are stacked processing stops when a main menu or context menu command is executed.

I'm curious as to whether this is by design or because of a technical constraint?

What I want a button which

activates a playlist
selects all
runs replaygain as album
highlights playing

No problem with getting each command to run separately but how to do it them all?

$panel(pnlTitlebar,Single Column Playlist,0,200,%_width%,26,)

$imageabs2(%_width%,26,0,0,%_width%,26,-200,0,/images\waz_titlebar.png,NOKEEPASPECT ALPHA-255)

$imageabs2($eval(%_width%+400),26,0,0,$eval(%_width%+400),26,-200,0,/images\waz_titlebar.png,NOKEEPASPECT)

Did you try using multiple buttons in the same area?

Latest one does not work here. At first foobar says that the modeule is missing (the typical question wether I want to keep the configuration), then it complains that it cannot load the component. Missing dependency. W2K here.

Could/should all SCP layouts be available to all SCP panels (I have 2 SCPs in my config: one as a browser; one as a "Now Playing", it would be good to be able to use the same layouts in both)?

The selected "sort/group by" type seems to stick to the SCP until changed- if so, maybe it should be ticked (like the playlist name the SCP displays).

How can you tell what the first sort key field is? $isgrouped() seems to be true if the field (should that be criteria name?) is anywhere in the sorting/grouping sequence)

How about sorting the "sort/group by" entries so they are listed in the order selected (as well as/ instead of the numerical subscripts). Maybe with up/down buttons?  Might be easier to use?

How about giving %_rowheight% and %_norows% as variables we can use in SCP (similar to %_width%  or %_height% in panels_UI)!

1.  What exactly does the 'Group by sort' checkbox do?  And if it does what I think, does it take the Primary or Secondary sort?

2.  When is the 'Secondary Sort' applied?  Only if it's the last sort by criteria in the order?

This would eliminate some logic code in SCPL and simplify things for different layouts (singles, albums, etc), especially if you can assign specific sorting presets to different playlists and SCPL panels.

Bug (maybe) - I cannot delete a layout under right-click -> settings (button does nothing).  I can create a layout however, without a problem.

Also, the little numbers between the boxes appear to indicate the precedance of the grouping/sorting, is there a way to reorder these without clearing the boxes and starting over?

As for the crashing, foobar continues to crash often when loading the main configuration dialog. I do not believe I am using any raw unicode characters in my configuration and have drawn flack in some other threads for my overuse of $char(). However, I do run my systems under the Japanese codepage 932 instead of the US codepage 437.

EDIT: What is the proper procedure for modifying an existing preset? I can select an existing preset in "Sort/Group By" dialog and it will display the current settings, I can change those settings, but when I go to [Save] I am prompted for a new preset name. If I type in the old preset name it creates a second preset with that same name.

$button2($sub(%_width%,42),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,X,x,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:0,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,28),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Y,y,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:1,)
$button2($sub(%_width%,14),$get(mainpanel.y),0,0,14,14,Z,z,PVAR:SET:playlist.mode:2,)

$select($add($getpvar(playlist.mode),1),
$scplsetlayout(Album)
,
$scplsetlayout(Singles)
,
$scplsetlayout(Radio)
)

Bug 2: Cannot seem to delete an empty SCPL, does it delete on fb2k close?

Bug 3: For auto playlists when sorting cannot be changed the sort by dialogue should be greyed out or give a warning.

Are the Sort/Group by settings stored in the PUI? Im going to assume yes.

In the group header box is it possible to do something like $if($grouped(album),this code, that code) I often only want to change the header, not the code.

On the setlayout code section for $isgrouped() it'd be nice to have some way of choosing between when grouped solely by album and grouped by album AND something else, so, something like $onlygroupedby(). As far as I can see you can have OR and AND commands so multiple groupings are fine, just not solitary ones. Another approach would be $and($isgrouped(album),$secondarygroup(none)). At the moment you'd have to NOT all the other "group by" options to achieve this result.

I've just worked out that when buttons are stacked processing stops when a main menu or context menu command is executed.

2. $scplsetlayout() in Layout selector seems not to work.

2 - I still have a problem with transparency, or opaque-ness. My titlebar, which is a uniform colour, 5 pixels wide stretched across the screen is darker at the edges?? It is very obvious because I've pasted a box of the same colour over the top of it to check... even extending the image 200 pixels past the edge of the screen does not solve the problem.

Hi,

I'm using your wonderful plugin now, but one thing bothers me.
I have a global shortcut mapped to activate or hide the foobar window but with your plugin it does'nt work that great. At first it worked but now it won't activate anymore i.e it's hidden. On top of that it flickers and steals focus sometimes (but not showing the window).

Can you take a look at this? I'm using the latest (0.91 beta) version and I'm on XP SP2

That was a marathon answering session, thanks for your responses. .

I do foresee a problem with storing Sort by info in the cfg - many people who create and distribute their pui layouts will likely want to have smart sorting code that changes with buttons etc. New users of the layout would have to add each sort command manually to make the layout work correctly. It's proving a hassle getting everyone to change one variable, let alone this .

It'd be nice if the pui could provide the complete solution as you said it should earlier in this topic.

Is it an fb2k limitation preventing pui storage? I don't really understand this change in philosophy, storing component information outside of the pui. If it is a limitation, any change of creating an "install these sort by/group settings if they don't exist" option?
