After a few weeks umming and ahhing I finally made the jump over from the columns playlist and am loving my new playlist which a very slightly modified version of what mazy posted on this thread.

Thanks to terrestrial for giving foobar two excellent components that make it even more beautiful than previously thought possible and to mazy for testing them so thoroughly and coming up with beautiful designs that I love to steal

path has to be relative to foobar dir. absolute path isnt possible yet

I meant it's not in the "insert panels" menu anywhere, not even the playlist views section. It says it's installed in the components list and the console doesnt have any errors in it, so I dunno what's up. Maybe my version of columns_ui is out of date.

Edit: That's exactly what it was.

Absolute pathing is somewhat possible, if you use NTFS on your drives. Just create a junction folder in your foobar2000 directory that points to your audio storage location (which is free to be on any other NTFS drive). There's still the problem of non-NTFS drive and network shares, but it's certainly an improvement.

In addition to proper pathing though, what I'd really like to see is having the path surrounded by double-quotes ("), so paths with commas in them work properly. (eg; "D:\Music\Mötley Crüe\2005 - Red, White & Crüe\art.png").

Otherwise, this is an awesome plugin... I really had to laugh when I saw iTunes 7 today, with the same kind of album view that people have been building with this for a few weeks now.
They call me random_n...

Would there be any chance of getting a couple of variables for this wonderful thing?  I was wondering if we could get a total of all the tracks in the tracklist as well as the total time. Is this at all possible?

Cheers

Iget this problem, and i am unaware as to how to solve it via
Single Columns Playlist's sort code
or
by renaming the album (check renamed Versus The World [Bonus Disc] to V. The World [Bonus Disc] and no change)




any help would be appreciated.

At first glance it appears you have the %album% tag defined differently for different tracks of the same album, this is causing foobar to think they are part of different albums.  To correct this select all the tracks of the album (Ctrl+Click, repeat) then right click on the selection and choose "Properties" from the popup.

For the album name I suspect you will see "<multiple values>", if so this confirms my suspicions. Replace the string with the name of the album. Click [Apply], then [OK] and this should update all the tracks so that their album tag is identical and foobar will then be able to group them properly.

You may need to refresh your playlist for the grouping to take effect.  If your album tags are already defined properly and you still experience this improper sorting after refreshing your playlist.. please post your current sort string so that we can help you debug it.

anyone know when the new version is coming out because I cannot use single colum playlist due to the not showing up bug - ie nothing displays in the  list until i start scrolling

The issuess I've found:

- Numerous things are broken such as find, preferences (eg keyboard shortcuts)
- It flickers like mad.
- The edit boxes are annoyingly small.
- Things don't refresh/appear properly.
- Images can only be relative to foobar path.
- No scaling on images.
- No other image formats.

(probably others that I've missed).

Other than that, great plugin.

Actually I think the issue is that the sorting is such that the tracks from the bonus disc and the main disc are getting mixed up :]

Just make sure they have good filenames and are sorted right.

Could somebody help me please? I want the artist name to show up after the track if the album is a compilation, but when I try it, I get the artist after the track on all albums. How do I sort this?

tag the compilation album with ALBUM ARTIST tag and use this

Code: [Select]
%tracknumber% %title%[ '('$if($meta(album artist),%artist%,)')']

Feature request / bug report:  You can't drag and drop to move songs around a playlist : O  Seems like pretty basic functionality.

Could end up with several identical headers then though, which is probably not wanted..?

I guess it wouldn't be beautiful, but it wouldn't look tremendously terrible, and it sure beats not being able to rearrange files on a playlist at all.  Besides, a playlist that you are rearranging files on is probably tagged with -s- in the name or some such to designate it as a singles playlist, and will have styling that recognizes that.

I'd rather have a definable sort string for the playlist that was automatically applied. If I want to move a track I'd just adjust the sort string.

Alright, I'm losing my mind because I can't figure out how to configure this plug-in.

So I've loaded the plugin and it's displaying properly but after that I don't know what to do, the Configure button under Item details under Columns UI/Layout is grayed out. I either need more sleep because I'm sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious.

EDIT: I need more sleep.

about the *.png dont showing i want to share how did i solved it.

first, the relative path is in "document & settings\user\....\foobar2000"
second, C++ runtime libraries
third, real PNG files. i have troubles with one editor that saved the file as .png extension but it was really a JPG.

I need some help here, i have my covers in every folder & everyone is named "cover.png", which program could batch rename all my covers with the correct %album% information????? I think it's too complicated

SO---> i look forward next update could look in every folder like the good old foo_uie_albumbart

anyway, %$#% amazing plugin

Well, there's three situations in which I really like to be able to drag things around a single playlist:

A)  I'm playing streaming audio for someone via shoutcast or communication programs.

B)  I'm messing around queueing up 1-3 hours of audio for myself while I am going to be busy playing a game fullscreen or away from my computer and don't want to have to come fuck with fb2k.

C)  I am burning a mixed CD of tracks.

Both of those revolve around assembling a pretty much arbitrary order of a bunch of different files, and drag-and-drop makes that way simpler.

Perhaps I should be using the playback queue for these things.  The reason I don't is because it isn't obviously viewable or manipulable without a plugin, and a panel to manipulate the playback queue seems extremely redundant when the queue might have 10-50 files; isn't that what the playlist is for?

I don't really have any solution for doing any of those three things as it stands with this playlist, and I don't think having a definable sort string would solve any of them either.

Is there a way to show/hide this playlist view according to some tag content(%cwb_activelist% or %playlist_name%, for instance)?

It would be most useful with an "History" playlist.
I tried using the Auto hide feature of columns UI but I got weird results.

The next step, if columns_UI does7will let it, would be to link this playlist view to only a specific playlist.

The further step would then be to allow more than one instance of foo_uie_single_column_playlist or the ability to assign its settings and formattings to a chosen playilist (under the same playlist tabs as the standard playlist view) without the need of a separate panel.


Found a bug. I can't say if it's a "single c_p one or a foo_uie_tabs_mod one:

I placed the single column playlist view inside a tab stack panel where the other panel is a playlist tree one. If I make show the plt panel, then, when I go back showing the single column playlist it is totally blank. If I click on a row either in that panel or in an ordinari playlist view, the same row gets refreshed in the "single" panel. If I change playlist all the panel it's refreshed.

I have a suggestion that makes this plugin more usable with hybrid displays (single tracks and albums) - If the total count for a group of items is 1, Display just the header or just the single item itself. Right now it seems funny when it shows the header and a single item for every single track.
