I have a question again.  Does anybody know how to completely lock the panels, splitters etc, to prevent changing their sizes by dragging? I've tried out to use 'locked' checkbox located in 'Item details' groupbox, but it doesn't helped.


I'm not 100 % sure but I don't think that is possible... I think that's what Panels_UI is for...

Is it true what sylla said? Or this feature is just not implemented yet?

you must not be locking the right things.
It works, trust me.
If you'd maybe post a screen shot of what you want, someone could help you.

You can only lock so they don't change size when you resize the foobar2000 window.

seems line the the project m panel now crashes foobar when you try to close it. problem started with the new columns UI. I hope its a bug in columns UI cause no one seems to be maintaining foo_uie_vis_projectm.

nm, this is an existing bug after more testing.. it will crash on full-screen exit if there is no projectm panel in the configuration.

I noticed that every other line in the columns playlist winds up being a slightly lighter/paler color than the one specified, so it kind of looks like that old spreadsheet printer paper.


(Yeah, I know I screwed up the Length field, and the colors are weird, but I'm not done configuring things by far)

This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the FAQ or anything. Is there a way to change this?

Yea, that's by design.

You can change the code in the style window under globals.

This row controls the 2 colors,
Code: [Select]

I recently installed the 2. version of columns. I want to thank you because now layout editing is more comfortable.The funktion to copy a something from the layout tree is pretty cool. That's what I wanted for a long time.

musicmusic: Could you add transparancy to your panels? Especially the spectrum analyser?
Can you be more specific. Background, whole panel ? What opacity?


So is there any way how to have transparent background in playlist switcher? Maybe I missed something, it does not seem to be possible right now

Where can I get the SDK ? The link in the wiki is dead

Hi musicmusic, do you still continue develop columnsui or are you sick of it? Please go on developing this one! I really start to hate the other panels approach to have anything excessively code based. Spaghetti code based. The other UI appears like a huge pile of mess to me. And it demands mess.

I'm not saying I currently have feature requests for panels ui. But because it's not as vital as the other ui, lots of people use the other ui like lemmings. This is not a good development for fb2k. Because I only can tell the newbies: "Hey, fb2k is small and ugly. You could have it more beautiful. But time is money- I rather recommend you becomming an experienced assembler programmer, which is way easier to learn..."

If you can't think of any feature requests, I sure can! A simple way to show bitmaps (such as stars) for the %rating% tag. Perhaps similar to how the playback button bitmaps function, where the user specifies the location of their %rating% bitmaps.

If I want to give Columns UI a horizontal scrollbar ala iTunes this way it displays many columns without compromising the width of the other columns, is it possible to do so?

I use Panels UI to compliment Columns UI by the way. Best of both worlds.

I would be very happy if you could make the filetype icons show. 

Why not let plugin devellopers work together? 

I myself don't have knowledge of c++

Hi, I'm still developing it. There was a version released this month. In regard to new features, I have a few ideas but really I just want to release 0.2.0 final and then work on some new features.

In regard to other UIs: I think competition is healthy  Its maybe only me but I don't see much of a problem with people using inherently flawed UIs like "lemmings" - it's their choice, and I respect that. If its happening with "other" UI then its probably because that's mainly what you see when you come to the forums. I guess that relates back to your point about more actively developing Columns UI. There's also not exactly any objective comparison between the different UIs around I have seen in any prominent place. I also don't see it as too much of a concern for me as a user if these UI trends are "not good" for fb2k. I'll leave those concerns to Peter and if he wishes to share (or otherwise address) those concerns that's up to him. But otherwise I don't see it as my place to decide what's bad for fb2k, except when it comes to Columns UI

Something that maybe interesting: a new poll for 'what UI are you using'. I think it would be quite different to the last poll a couple of years ago I believe.

I think disabling auto-size mode is what you describe.

Hi,

As a feature request a *simple, I guess* : a panel that would force a width/height of its ancestors.

I have Album Art, and I'd like it to make exactly 300x300px, but it resize automaticly (well, the behavior is random).

This is good news indeed. Yes, I have to think more positive. Currently I rather see the difficult sides of the project: A piece of software where shiny look and feel (this is what attracts most newbies) is possible, but getting a harder task. An exceptionally very hard task. Fb2k as a piece of software where the development side is a black box, we know nothing about plans, the future, the direction it goes... if discussing bugs/improvements makes any sense ...

Hello!

I wanted to add the following feature:
I plan to implement a Foobar2000 plugin with the following features:
From the currently selected playlist the marked items (1 or more) should be added through a double click to another playlist:
1.) Add to the hardcoded playlist e.g. Default
2.) Add to the hardcoded playlist queue e.g. Playlist Queue
3.) Add to the current playing playlist.

1.) with context menu is already implemented, but I don't know how to hook the double click. Any hints for the API calls?

BTW: Can someone explain the differences between a playlist queue vs. normal playlist. How is the order of playment.

See http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=55893
for details.

But according to the SDK license this might not be allowed.
=> Feature request to foo_ui_columns to implement a double click hook.

BTW: Why is it allowed for foo_ui_columns to use such hooks and not for other plugins?!?!?

musicmusic, i have a feature request. The ability to "bind" a playlist view to a certain playlist. The usage i have in mind for this is to use as a panel to view what tracks are next in queue. This in addition with Wiesl's request to be able to send to a "hardcoded" playlist, would be absolutely fantastic.

Hello!

I have a request for a feature that would avoid the overwriting of a playing playlist if it is an autosend/library playlist and if you continue browsing during playback: renaming of the playlist by titleformatting.

Just an example for the quicksearch plugin: If the playlist wich is started contains the word "Search" i can remove that word by titleformatting.

Or an example for Albumlist: If the playlist wich is started contains the word "Library" i can add an letter like "*" or just a space sign.

All that renamed playlist would loose their character as autosend/browser/search/library playlist and won't be overwritten.

Columns UI

An alternative solution to my request in the post before could be to create an media library output viewer as vlada and many users more need ( see here). That viewer then could replace the autosend playlists.

That viewer would act as its own panel and would have its own logic - means: it would act independent from the  playlists. However it could take over the settings from the playlist view (Columns, etc.)
