Is it possible to remove the scroll bar and just add two images for scrolling up/down the playlist?

I have a setup im happy with, but the scroll bar is "ruining" it atm as its not the same color as the rest of my theme...

It does not sort your music for you.  You must accomplish this through a trackinfo_mod button or from a ColumnsUI column header with a custom sort spec.

usually just switching to another playlist works for me.

$imageabs2(%_width%,%_width%,0,0,%_width%,%_width%,0,-25,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)front.jpg,alpha-140)

$imageabs2(%_width%,%_width%,0,25,%_width%,%_height%,,,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,'front.jpg'),nokeepaspect alpha-140)

Thank you for your help this appears to be working now. I do have a few more questions though. Am I right in assuming that by placing the RESET at the beginning, the sorting string isn't reset until the beginning of the next sort?

Is %sortstring% and $sorted() available outside of the panel in which the buttons appear that set them? I keep getting ? or [UNKNOWN FUNCTION] when trying to use these in a different panel than the one the buttons are in.

Any ideas why it doesn't work like this for me?

I've got the latest SCPL (0.4.5 beta), ColumnsUI (0.1.3 beta 1v7) and Foobar.

Hey, I was wondering, for the context menu when clickin on a track in SCPL, there's an item called "playlist" which has "active" and "playing" in it, but I'm not sure what the check marks mean. Do they indicate which playlist is active and/or playing? Because you can click on them and change the appearance of the checkmark, which did not sync up with the same icons in the playlists dropdown component. If we don't use this context menu item, can we delete it?

Hmm, maybe saving cache between sessions.... with a big playlist and albumarts with ~2000*2000 pixels scrolling in very large playlists is not the so fast... resizing images takes some time.
Tried several solutions, but displaying album art in playlists is a big slowdown and I don't want to have foobar open all day just to have all images cached.

I was testing out dragging and dropping tracks in the playlist window, and I really don't like the way the window draws as you drag tracks. If you are viewing a playlist grouped by %album%, and you drag one track up, when the window draws the track in the next index position, it redraws the group header so you have to move your mouse over the group header once again to move the track one more index. This is especially annoying when you are dragging one track and if your "group rows" is set to more than 1, you must move your mouse more distance.

The problem is not as annoying but also present when you are dragging multiple tracks. A solution I thought of while messing around would be to re-draw the item displays as long as your mouse button (or alt) are "down," but only re-draw the group headers when your mouse button (or alt) is "up." In other words, don't refresh group headers while dragging.

I hope you can understand my idea because I'm not sure if I'm being clear. I really would like this to be an option.

EDIT: I just noticed that when you are dragging a track down in the list, that is to say increasing it's list index, and it's directly above a group header, it will refresh in the next highest list index position when your mouse cursor first crosses the group header below the track. I like this behavior. When you drag a track up in the list (decrease it's index) and it's directly BELOW a group header, it will not refresh until the mouse cursor crosses the top of the group header. This is very annoying, especially if that track has it's own group header, every time you decrease it's index and it re-draws in the window, you must move your mouse over the entire group header. It behaves much more smoothly when it's being dragged down, and it would be a nice fix if it behaved like that when you dragged it up, too.
