Yes, it is by design.

Most people ( including myself ) do not want to display it in the large album art area when it is already
shown in Details. To also prevent displaying disc art in jpg format, there is also a setting that is enabled by default to filter
those out -> top Menu > Options > Details > Disc art > Filter cd/disc/vinyl .jpgs from artwork.

It would look weird to have two disc art in Details when you scroll through the artwork and also in general the transparent space
in other panels where the large album art is being displayed would make the design look ugly because of the gaps.

I prefer to have a disk scan separately because the overlapping cover makes it look as if each album was a digipack or a paperback edition. Don't get me wrong, it's a matter of preference...

@ms1602, you have a valid point.

I have implemented the ability to display the disc art also in the album art display area:
Quote
- Implemented displaying disc art images in the large album art display area
  * Disc art filtering must be disabled in top Menu > Options > Details > Disc art > Filter disc art from artwork
  * When disc art is displayed via mouse wheel cycling on album art or auto-cycle setting, disc art in Details will be temporarily hidden.

You need to download and replace your files from the master here:

When restoring settings from a backup, I noticed that the option in the library to 'expand single items' that I prefer to have unchecked was not carried over from my previous settings.  I can't remember if I've previously changed anything else in the library options, or if this is the only option not being restored.

Hi @Drawshot,

latest commit now includes:
Quote
- Added Library options "Node auto expand" and "Node auto expand single items"
   * Can be accessed via top Menu > Options > Library > Track row > Node auto expand
   * Can be accessed via top Menu > Options > Library > Track row > Node auto expand single items

You need to download and replace your files from the master here:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

When installed, you can restore your current backup and afterwards make a new backup.
Now both settings will be also saved and restored.

Guys,

I am now on vacation for a longer period of time ( depends on circumstances ) so there won't be any activity from my side.
When I come back, I'll fix all remaining issues from the latest rewrite that is currently the master version on Github and then release RC-3.

If you are using and testing the master version, this one here:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
please post all bugs in the DEV THREAD over at Github!

Thanks and take care!

@Jjkbuysell,

I have actually handled this issue properly...

The error can occur if foobar 32-bit is out of memory because of 4 GB ram limitation for the 32-bit.
This can happen if users have an extremely large music collection indexed plus using Library's album art grid, 4K mode.
Also in general (especially when using the 4K mode), the setting in top Menu > Options > Details > Disc art > #Rotation images
should not be 120 (3 degrees) or 180 (2 degrees).

When the red screen error is displayed, you could try right click > Panel Properties... and click on the Clear button and OK.

I do not know from which time you have downloaded the DEV version, but it is updated very frequently,
i.e when I push commits on Github. If it is from months ago, you can try to re-download the current DEV version state:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

About your second question:
Do you mean the country name in the Details ' metadata grid in the release country field where the country flag is also displayed?
I think MusicBrainz uses abbreviation for country names and its tagging component that fetches data from its music catalog database.
Not sure if it is useful to change it, I am very busy with other more important things atm. I could take a look
when I have more free time for such things...

Got it thanks.  Understood hands are tied waiting for SMP x64.  Are there any things I can do to reduce my overall memory usage in the theme that would crash SMP after disabling the spinning disc?

Is it of any interest to anyone to have the ability to fallback onto a web source for ArtistCountry or any other artist info really, if it is not tagged in the file?  I mean artist BIO lookups are already happening.  Could maybe cache this info somewhere in the userprofile of windows as not to do constant web lookups on each track.

Just talking out loud here, after beginning the task of adding the ArtistCountry tag to all my files.   :o

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there a way to completely remove Biography downloads (all the vbc, cfg ,js , etc stuff that clogs up the folder)? I've tried unticking everything in the Biog options download window, but it all just returns on next load.

If you didn't replace all files in the latest DEV version, especially "foobar2000\profile\configuration\foo_spider_monkey_panel.dll.cfg"
the garbage collection that frees foobar memory will not work because I accidentally did not revert a testing memory value.
So please replace this file from the master AFTER you restored your backup.
The backup contains the old foo_spider_monkey_panel.dll.cfg with the wrong testing memory value.
When you replaced the file and then make a new backup after you restored your backup, it will use this corrected foo_spider_monkey_panel.dll.cfg file next time you restore a backup in the future.

Maybe I'll do that for the ArtistCountry but it is not so reliable than tagging because it uses Wikipedia for the bands.
Most lesser known bands do not exist on Wikipedia, so it should be the responsibility of the user to tag them correctly...
Actually if the Wikipedia entry does not exist for the Biography flag, it uses the metadata field %artistcountry% from the music file.

Also bio fetching from online sources do only happen if it is not already cached. You can find the bio cache in:
For portable foobar installation: "foobar2000\profile\cache\biography"
For standard foobar installation: "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2\cache\biography"

Actually there is an option to auto-delete the biography cache on every foobar startup:
Top Menu > Options > Settings > Theme cache > Biography > Auto-delete biography cache on startup.

When the current track is playing, it is highlighted by the album color. I am starting to find this distracting. Is there a way to get rid of the highlight? Or to even mute the color?

Thanks.

Hi nputra,

what theme are you talking about?
Not really sure what you mean, but when there is no nowplaying color indicator in the row,
how would the user know the position in the Playlist or Library?

There is the nowplaying indicator and the selection marker, I think it is good as it is...

Most themes I have tried show the highlighted playing track. As for indicating what is playing and position number, does the Status Bar not suffice?

Anyway, a small distraction. If it cannot be changed, so be it.

Thanks for the reply TT.

@TT  Thanks for the previous replies.  Appreciate it.  Curious if there is any way to incorporate animated album covers as now seen on some streaming services nothing important but kinda cool.  I think it would be nice for such a media rich frontend.   :D

Attached is an animated cover that Tidal uses for example.

@Jjkbuysell,

this has been requested multiple times, but unfortunately, it is not possible with SMP due to its rendering limitations:
https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/issues/214

It is only possible within a browser framework, such as with the foo_uie_webview user component.

Technically, I think it may be possible though.
Using JSplitter, you may add a window using WebView to display such animations, since it allows multiple windows within the same panel...

Well you're right, but I hate those floating window stuff panel, its kinda an ugly workaround which I would avoid like the plague :(
The core layout design for Georgia-ReBORN is just built different. This layout design has pros and cons and I won't start from the beginning. There are multiple reasons, too much work and we still wait for SMP x64...

JSplitter is not a floating window like foo flowin but a window within the same panel entirely controlled by JS, so I see no reason (except difficulty) to not use it as a layer for images... in fact that solves some current RAM problems you got with disc art animations, since it would split the RAM usage between 2 SMP instances. But respect your design choices.

I don't think we will ever see SMPx64 unless the dev contacts the ru dev to share the fork as is. And there is no much reason for that since we already have a SMPx64 version within JSplitter.
