put a tab in front of the length tag and put it at the end of your string, and it will always be on the right side of the playlist.

copy + paste this and replace yours with it:

Code: [Select]

[    %_length%]

edit: your talking about the 0.5 beta, right?

Yeah I am! Beta 16 to be exact, shit to bad there isn't like a window size command, so you know how many characters wide the playlist is, then you can create a script with some math formulas that would auto resize itself dependeding on the size of the window!

What would be better is to make parts take of a certain % of the playlist, that would then invlove allowing you to split the string into sections though, which would really be like virtual columns.

Anyway, copying and pasting that won't work because the forums don't seem to like tabs, its been replaced with a space. Since you can't press tab in the title formatting either, you'd have to do it in Notepad and copy + paste.

ctrl + tab will/should work.

my playlist for 0.5 beta 16:

$if(%_isplaying%,aa0000,5B5B5B)$padcut($if(%tracknumber%,%title% ,%_filename_ext% ),30) $if(%tracknumber%,5B5B5B$num(%tracknumber%,2),)$padcut($if(%artist%, - %artist%,),15) $if(%album%, - 5B5B5B/%album%/ ,) *replaceme* %_length%

where *replaceme* = ctrl + tab.

New format string.... detecting file format and showing mpc in different color.... detecting playing song, detecting replaygain, etc.

changed mine too, gave up with fixed-width fonts, now using trebuchet ms point 7 and pl string is:

Code: [Select]

c47F5e|ffAA80$ifgreater($len(%artist%),20,$cut(%artist%,18)..,%artist%) • $ifgreater($len(%title%),55,$cut(%title%,53)..,%title%)<TAB>c47F5e|ffAA80[$ifgreater($len(%album%),30,$cut(%album%,28)..,%album%)]

takes advantage of $len to use ".." if string too long, and title / artist and album is still clearly separated and it looks better too. replace <tab> with tab. prolly wont look right wid wrong bg colour.

All right it looks a little long and scary, but most of it is just guessing the artist, album, etc.. if the tag is missing.

The interesting part of this is the first part which defines a colour: $get(BYTE_RATE_COLOUR) which is continuously dependent on bitrate.
By changing the values of the *_BYTE_RATE variable you can adjust the scale to reflect your own prefference/file formats.
Also with a little work you should be able to shift the colours to the bright half of the spectum (for a dark background) or use the full spectum.

Looks best with a fixed-width font on a white background.

PS Has anyone been able to figure out a way to do recursion? I've come close a few times, but no luck yet.

EDIT: Screen Shot anyone?

First off: How'd you get that UI with the buttons and seekbar? Is there a plugin somewhere I'm missing out on?

And, here's my settings, which are meant to mimmic a program called "puTTY" which is an ssh shell for windows.

Changed my foobar to more minimal style, like it better that way:

Code: [Select]

Playlist:
DBDBDB|CCCCCC$num(%_playlist_number%,4).$if(%mp3%,0000FF|0000FF,DBDBDB|CCCCCC)·$if(%__replaygain_track_gain%,DBDBDB|CCCCCC,0000FF|0000FF)· $if(%_isplaying%,0000FF|0000FF» ,)[535353|535353$abbr($if2(%performer%,%artist%),20) DBDBDB|DBDBDB- %title%] ['['%comment%']'] [    535353|535353%_length%]

NOTE: 1) I've got a %mp3% tag in every mp3PRO I have
2) I have a %performer% tag in every song from Various Artists' CD which indicates the performer, the %artist% tag in these songs is "Various Artists". With this kind of setup, I can have the Album list work well, as the Various Artists CDs don't mess it up.

Using at 800x600 res. Backround Black...Courier New is the font

Any non-replaygained track is listed as RG(0)

Simple setup...but works for me

Nice, but $put & $get was killed in 0.55

Which has made my string stupidly long.. (not as much as yours though!):

Code: [Select]

c47F5e|ffAA80$ifgreater($len(%artist%),20,$cut(%artist%,18)..,%artist%) ▪ $ifgreater($len(%title%),55,$cut(%title%,53)..,%title%)<TAB>c47F5e|ffAA80$if(%album%,[$ifgreater($len(%album%),$sub(100,$len($ifgreater($len(%artist%),20,$cut(%artist%,18)..,%artist%)  $ifgreater($len(%title%),55,$cut(%title%,53)..,%title%))),$cut(%album%,$ifgreater($sub(100,$len($ifgreater($len(%artist%),20,$cut(%artist%,18)..,%artist%) ▪ $ifgreater($len(%title%),55,$cut(%title%,53)..,%title%))),40,39,$sub($sub(100,$len($ifgreater($len(%artist%),20,$cut(%artist%,18)..,%artist%) ▪ $ifgreater($len(%title%),55,$cut(%title%,53)..,%title%))),2)))..,%album%)],) <%_length%>

It basically resizes the album field (album is right aligned with length), depending on how long the "atrist - title" field is, and also putting ".." on any fields that are cut (the string is suited to the size i keep foobar). Im totally lost in parts of it now, i wont be changing it for a long time.. ▪ needs to be replaced with the character using character map (trebechut ms). This string is my substitution for colums/fixed width virtual columns, I find its got all the info i want, clearly separated, and not looking ugly either.

impulse/xamphear: those buttons where an "illegal" hack, they aren't allowed because they will cause foobar to mess up with new versions and such, as they do not use legal apis (as there arent any to do what they want, maybe with a future version who knows, but the ui was suposed to be seperated into a separate opensourced dll in a later version, so customised uis will be available when that happens.)

Well there goes my dream of having recurrsion so I can do proper string processing

Also without $put and $get my formatting string becomes pretty much just an unmangable mess.

Nearly the same string I posted above, just updated for .55. The one change I made was it now searches the filename for the tracknumber before looking at the tag, since I have alot of compilations I find this to be more accurate.

BTW I'm loving all the different strings, keep them coming.

EDIT: accually tested with with .55 now

I changed my colours to create a Borland Pascal IDE look-alike.

ROFL. without reading your post, I just looked at the screenshot and immediately thought "Hey, look! Just like good ol' Borland Pascal!"

Looks like you did succeed (w00t)

Is there a way to make the File info display box smaller?
I keep my fb2k window pretty small, and the artists/title get cut off in the status bar by the file info display.
