@Case

Thanks for being the hero who brought this plugin into the new era. I've been testing it out today and it's been working great! I had a couple of suggestions I wanted to share with you.

First suggestion is regarding the filename of the output log, "foo_dr.txt". I know this is what the old plugin used also, but I've found that filename to be completely useless. I actually have a batch file that I created that I can run from the root of a folder and it will recursively search and rename all of the "foo_dr.txt" files to the "Official DR value: DR12" value located inside each file. So "foo_dr.txt" becomes "DR12.txt". For me personally, it's been way more useful having the DR Value as the filename than "foo_dr.txt". Perhaps maybe you'd consider hard coding this in? A few other ways I envision this being done would be...

- Have a textbox in the Preferences where the user could enter in the filename they want to use?
  - Create a placeholder such as %drvalue% that the user could use in the textbox.
  -OR-
  - If a placeholder is to cumbersome, then perhaps just a Checkbox that when enabled would disable the textbox and instead just name the output log with the Official DR Value.

Second suggestion is regarding the handling of Writing Logs and/or Tags in Quiet Mode. Right now the user is forced to Write Tags to their files if they want to use Quiet Mode. But what about if they just want an output log only? Or maybe they want both? Please see the attached pics for some samples I threw together for you to consider.

Thanks in advance!

It's in the File Associations.  You can edit that without going into the registry.  If you go into the "open with..." options, you will find tools to disassociate or alter the operations available for any specific filename extension.

You should have posted on the foobar2000 forums. With Windows version before Vista disabling foobar2000 associations would have been done completely from inside foobar2000. But Microsoft changed the associations in newer Windows versions and now the official way is to use the "Default apps" system setting tool. It's a bit clumsy:

Open Start -> Settings -> Apps -> Default apps.
Then select "Choose default apps by file type"
Now for any extension where you want to remove foobar's handler click on that format and choose some other program as the default.

Unofficial way: open foobar2000 and go to Preferences -> Shell Integration. Disable "Register supported file formats on startup".
Run Regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and remove all keys called foobar2000.<extension>, for example "foobar2000.WAV".
@fooball
 I don't get the option to disassociate, only associate with an other app?
@Case
Yes. that's what I have done and... :/



Edit:
Can I move topic myself to right forum?
If not please move the one who can.

Same entries can also be found under shorter path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but if you make a backup of the keys and restore them, the shorter virtual key will restore them to current user instead of current machine, where they belong.

Visualizations show the audio data after it has been through your DSP chain. If you for example have EQ lowering those frequencies it will be visible in the spectrum.
Ah I got it, so if I wanted to visualize audio signal accurately, remove all DSPs from "Active DSPs" part of DSP Manager part of foobar2000 preferences, but beware that graphs are useless for hearing the difference between similar but not identical audio files and must ABX (or double-blind test) them per ToS #8

Thank you.  I will keep the console open and review text to know what is happening.

The reason for the pre-cache settings is that my entire media library exists on pCloud, and the pre-cache settings work perfectly for this scenario.  The only potential delay is when Skip Track actually has to Skip Tracks.
