Greetings all!

I was wondering how I can enable this plugin?=/

I put those dll's in right directions, and I saw the playlist_tree in preferences-> components, but I have no clue how to enable it?


You need to use a interface that will let you add columns ui panels.  Columns UI, Panels UI, or my own foo_dockable_panels will let you add it.
There used to be a link to my website here.

Have I already thank you for this component ?
Anyway twice better than never, so thanks.   
I'm using it from the beginning (almost one year) with great satisfaction. And time has come for me to make my first request(s). 
  • Would it be possible to add a "Refresh All Queries" context-menu ?
  • (or/and?) maybe you could add "[local] menus" in "Selection Action" in main preference, so we would be able to automatically refresh queries when selecting them ?[/i]
I don't use anymore "the automatic refresh" option because it's somehow a bit heavy with a big library and using Panel UI (in my case) make a white "flash" during 1 or 2 second in place of PT panel, when track change.
And a "refresh all" will be very helpful when adding some new releases.

Regards

There is a main menu option Library/Playlist Tree/Root/Refresh All Queries option.  That could work depending on where you want to use it.

I'll add the thing about the local menus to the request list.  They used to be there I think, but I took them out I guess when I changed some of that stuff around.

You're very reactive, so thank for that, too.
I've even never used the main menu to access Playlist Tree menu or never been enough curious ?. I feel stupid now ... but it will not kill me
Now I will be able to have a nice button to refresh all. Easy and very useful!
Thank to have added the [local] request in the list.

Cheers

I've added F5 as "refresh all queries". It's the default refresh button for just about any application, so it's logical, and easy to remember/use.

Is there any query to show latest albums added to library?

I want to see all new added albums this week, ordered by date. Is that possible?

It is if you are tagging your files with something when they are added to the library.
cwb_hooks + a Masstagger Script can automatically write a tag like this for you.

Is there a way to empty the browser playlist if the query does not return any results? As it is now, it keeps what was in the playlist before you ran the query.

Oh, really? There isn't any way to see when a file was added to library?

Well, and how can I run a MassTagger script to each new file added in each rescan the library?

Is it possible to 'browse' other playlists whilst playing another? I can't seem to figure out how to do this with playlist_tree. It works fine with the switcher but I can't seem to figure out how to do this with the tree.

Hi - I'm just trying out using playlist_tree as an auto-refreshing library.

I'm using the query: @drop<z:\music>
and format: $directory(%path%,2)|$substr($directory(%path%,1),$add($len($directory(%path%,2)),4),100)|%filename%

This works perfectly, but is there any way I could make it faster? I deliberately avoided using actual tags (ie using %path% and %filename% instead) but does this actually make any difference?

I upgraded the version of my playlist tree panel. Then I refreshed my queries, and they all disapeared except "by Album" and "by Artist". I'm quite disapointed. Any explanation or help would be appreciated.

how old was the version you upgraded from?  How did you refresh them all?

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to use the @query<> function.

For instance, I put something like this into the Format box:

Code: [Select]
@query<Beatles;@database;artist HAS Beatles;;;artist>|%artist%|%album%


And it just gives me a tree with all my music in it.

What am I doing wrong?

Here's what I have done. It's not the best way to do it, but it was the easiest at the time for me, and I have had no reason to change it:

1. I created a folder (not a query) called Year.
2. I created seven subqueries here named Unknown year, Pre-1960's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's and 2000's. These had format
Code: [Select]
$cut(%date%,4)|%artist%|$if2(%album%,<Unknown album>)|[$num(%tracknumber%,2) - ]%title%
and criteria (this is the important part)
Code: [Select]
date GREATER 1969 AND NOT date GREATER 1979
for 1970's,
Code: [Select]
date GREATER 1979 AND NOT date GREATER 1989
for 1980's and so on. Unknown year had
Code: [Select]
date MISSING
and Pre-1960's had
Code: [Select]
NOT date MISSING AND NOT date GREATER 1959


That way, all the subfolders of these queries will be a single year (e.g. 2000, 2001, 2002 and so on for the 2000's query), and then the standard artist/album thingy. You might want to change some things to include months, if that is what you're after.

I've looked around for an answer to this without luck.  I very much like the foo_playlist_tree component.  I keep all my music on a remote SMB share.  Unfortunately, when I change songs, playlist_tree causes foobar to become completely non-responsive for 8-10 seconds.  Music plays, but nothing else happens.  Disabling playlist_tree fixes the problem.  Is there a less drastic cure?

Thanks!

Sounds like your queries are set to "Automatically Refresh," which refreshes them each time a new track begins.

Speaking of which, Chris, I'm sure you're probably aware of this request, but in case you're not: it would be convenient if you could choose when each query is refreshed -- e.g., when foobar starts, on track change, on album change, etc.
