Is there a way to check only the artist field, and not the album artist, composer or performer?

I have tried to set the double-click action on this plugin to be "Edit Other/Add to Specified Playlist"  The problem is, when you do that there is no place to specify the playlist you want to send to.  Would there be anyway to add an option to define a specifed playlist to add tracks to if you select that option as an action?

Thanks!

I just want to second this request in case it got missed in the jumble of other posts.  It is already possible to specify a playlist when setting hotkeys, and a similar thing for the playlist tree menu would be completely fantastic - it would allow a playback behavior that is closer to what people intuitively expect when browsing and playing music at the same time.  I have been scouring the forums looking for some way to get foobar to play and browse in separate playlists, and while there are a ton of awkward workarounds out there (using the queue, right clicking and selecting send to playlist, etc.) this little function would work perfectly.

Is there a way to refresh one query only?

Is there a way to refresh one query only?

middle click or shift right click on the query node and select "refresh queries".  It will only refresh that query.  Also if you have a static folder that contains multiple queries you can click on it, and select "refresh queries" and it will refresh ONLY the queries underneath it.

Having problems with nodes.

I've created a folder called "blah".  Under this folder, I have a few queries.  I'd like to use the contents of this folder in another query.  I've tried every possible iteration that I can think of and I can't get anything to work. 

* What is the actual definition of a node?
* Would the node name for a folder labeled 'blah' be 'blah' or 'Folder::blah' ?
* Does the 'folder format:' config option change the node name?
* The node syntax is used as a source so is used only in the Criteria section of a query?

I've searched and read as much as I could but am still lost..

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot further?

You could try @node<blah {28G}> to see if the {} stuff is what's causing the issue.

Yup, that was it!  I thought I had tried this before bothering you, but I guess not.  That's a bummer, since foo_playlist_tree is the only way I know how to get the size of a playlist, but these two features seem to be incompatible.  The reason the size of the playlist was important is because I am now using foo_dop to sync to my Ipod and I have more music than what the Ipod can handle in my library.

$align(left,middle)
Node: $treenode(displayname)$char(10)
Size: $cwb_splitnum($treenode(size))$char(10)
Count: $treenode(itemcount%)$char(10)
Duration: $cwb_wdhms($treenode(duration))$char(10)

Yes, I knew that but, due to the extra long time it took, and to the "s" at the end of the word "queries", for a moment I thought it was refreshing always everything.

Anyway, I tried that refresh on a couple of queries and this is what came out:

1)
Format= %artist%|%title% - %album%
Sort= by name after populating
refresh time = 2 secs

2)
Format= %artist%|%title%|%album%
Sort= by name after populating
refresh time = 65 secs

3)
Format= %artist%|%date%|%title%|%album%
Sort= by name after populating
refresh time = 118 secs

but...

following a hint I found in the wiki, I put "%overallindex%: %_name%" in the Folder name box of the preferences and that was the problem.
Removing that %overallindex%, reduced the time of 2) and 3) to a couple of secs.

As I'd like to be able to refresh a query and send it to a playlist with a remote control, is there a way to link a query to a keyboard shortcut without using that slowing function?
(Maybe assigning a fixed index number manually)

Thanks

Man...I'm trying to create a query that will display all the songs of the album of the currenly playing track...and to let it auto-refresh when a new song starts. I really have no ideo how to do it... I have this:

Now when I manually refresh, it works...but it dosn't at all update automatically when a new songs starts playing. Why is this? I have checked the box and I have mad a $playing() query...

I'm not sure why that wouldnt work... It looks very similar to mine... You could try changing the label to "Now Playing: @format<$playing('%album%')>"... that might work...

That is very strange: Both queries must work!

An idea: Remove population sort that so or so not makes sense and check sort display by name

I have my playlist tree setup as a simple list of misc. queues, which will be added to a new playlist with the same name. However it will always create a new playlist. Would it be possible to make it check if a playlist by the same name already exists and clear (/delete it) it before sends the results?

Also could you make "Play in Library Playlist" activate the playlist and add option to play in the actions, f.ex. "New playlist and play"?

Thanx for a great panel 

You can use the "Rename last library playlist when sending" option so that only one library playlist is ever created and then subsequent sends will rename and repopulate that playlist.

You can get a New Playlist and Play functionality with foosion's foo_utils.
