On 0.1 RC1 "Minimize to systray" check box doesn't work (has no effect, foobar still minimizes to taskbar). "Show systray icon" works properly.

Can't reproduce. Maybe you have "Show systray icon" disabled.

Yes, I had it disabled. Thanks. It's slihtly different behaviour from default ui (it still minimizes to systray even if I have "Always show systray icon" disabled). My wish is possibility to completely remove foobar from taskbar (show only in systray regardless of it being minimized or brought to front).

Thanks for great plug-in. Tryed it only today and got stuck to it.

I see what you mean; neither did I know the standard ui does that.

It is changed in RC2.

rc2:
- shift + drag on seekbar
- fixed: header alignment on sorted columns
- insert + copy buttons
- added rearrangement of columns from the header
- fixed '&' characters in tabs
- ctrl + a on column config
- tray icon recreated when explorer restarts
- rebar remenbers previous positions of toolbars
- when importing config, auto-sizing takes effect without restart
- made tabs look better in some circumstances
- on first startup, the window is not hidden
- fixed minor repainting bug with the header
- fixed minor bug when remember window positions is disabled
- changed some systray behaviour
- random fixes

Just discovered a small header redrawing problem with RC2, reproduced in this manner:
1) "Auto-resizing column mode" is on.
2) Create new empty playlist (where there is no vertical scrollbar).
3) Add enough files to the playlist so that the vertical scrollbar appears.
4) Header isn't redrawn i.e. vertical scrollbar overlaps the right-most part of the header.

Also, since ctrl-a support has been added to the column config, why not add it for  globals too?

Was reluctant to nitpick on your great work, but I guess feedback is to only way to make it even better

I just thought that it would be very nice to have an option on columns that will hide the columns if theres no playback and show when playback starts (or vise-versa) ... that could be very very nice

bouh

What would be on the playlist if there was no columns ? 

I think he meant to hide a single column, like the enabled option, but depending on the playback status. I can imagine this used for now-playing markers. 

exactly ... the now playing animation columns, the time remaining/left columns, and other stuff too who knows ... but thing is, those columns takes space when the playback is stopped, for no reason ... so I think this feature could bring new possibilities

Thanks for systray modification. And I too have problems with rerdaw after scrollbar appearing.

Great plugin, am loving it, a few pointers tho:

Wouldn't it be better to have auto-resizing availible on a per-collumn basis. I think it jus provides wider felxibility, as there are some collumns which I'd want auto-resized, and some not. This could also make a "now playing" collumn effectivly disappear when nothing's playing?

Also, what is the format for a buttons.bmp file? It only asks for one file, so they all must be in the same image, and presumable in a specific order/positioning for the plugin to assign the buttons correctly?

If you have a column you dont want to resize set "resize" to 0!
Under the column there is an option called resize that tells how much a column should resize set that to 0 for the columns you don't wnat to resize!

Really nice plugin. It even works (and looks pretty) in wine/linux. I have two feature requests that would make it work even better for me:

- in the default ui, doubleclicking in the statusbar selects the currently playing track. Would it be possible to add this to foo_ui_columns?
- This one is probably for post-0.1: show the sidebar on mouse-over. When you're not using it, the sidebar is hidden. When you touch the left side of the window with the mouse pointer (and leave it there for a few seconds) the sidebar "slides" out. When you move the pointer away from the sidebar, it disappears again. Oh, actually I discovered the doubleclick-the-sidebar-separator-function while I'm writing this. That's almost as good as what I'm describing here.

I've noticed in a few screenshots that people have images in their playlists (for replaygain a tick or a cross etc), and I am curious as to how this is done.

Is there an online to tutorial for this? Or would someone care to explain it?

I wish to create a rating collumn similar to that in foo_tunes (foo_tunes i feel is too buggy atm for my use).

Cheers,
Steve

This is how I do it!
Code: [Select]
$if(%__replaygain_track_gain%,%_gone%|%_gtwo%$char(10003),%_rone%|%_rtwo%$char(10007))   
$if(%__replaygain_album_gain%,%_gone%|%_gtwo%$char(10003),%_rone%|%_rtwo%$char(10007))

It needs Arial Unicode MS or other Unicode font with special symbols!

Reproduced, thanks. I wouldnt call it a redrawing bug though, its updating+sizing..

I was feeling lazy. I will add it for RC3.

Maybe..

..but seriously why would you have time remaining info in its own column? It would only be filled in for one track.

As for now playing marker columns, the column would still be redundant if the track playing was not in the (current) playlist.

Anyway, I will see after 0.1. Maybe as some general expansion of the playlist filters, i dont know.

Order of buttons is the same as they appear normally. The buttons should all be adjacent horizontally.

You can find info about format at the bottom of this page.

Ok, but the number of requested post-0.1 features is awfully long..

musicmusic,

When dragging and dropping a directory onto the playlist sidebar, instead of creating a new playlist called 'New Playlist' can it be changed to create a new playlist with the name of the directory?
E.g.:
Drag and drop a directory called 'David Bowie' onto the playlist sidebar and a new playlist called 'David Bowie' is made, not 'New Playlist'

Cheers

Hmm, must be a wine bug then. Sorry. I'll just use a keyboard shortcut.

Cheers for information about the buttons

Here's my first button set. Based on XP in silver mode, but I think it should look fine in blue too. If not let me know.

How big do the buttons have to be, so that they border the edge of the physical click area i.e so there is no grey between each button.

I wish to create something like this:

XP Buttons 2]

look at the plisk config , the light will come  ... and yes I was seeing this as a expansion to the playlist filters ... to show or hide depending on tabs and playback status

two small bugs in RC2:
- using the mouse wheel to horizontally scroll the screen causes a strange delay effect in the headers (just CTRL+Scroll back and forth)
- when arranging columns by the headers (yay), pressing ESC moves the column to the very left instead of cancelling

post 0.1 request:
- not sure how many people would find it useful, but how about a 'Move files here' in addition to 'Add files here' when right-click dragging?

Thanks.

Its not a question of making the buttons bigger, I have to mess around with the toolbar control.

I can remove the padding , but it will look like this:

How strange.  I will look into them, thanks.

Yes, it is planned, it may be in there for 0.1.

I have a small feature request... could you add an option where the entire column you've sorted by last has a grey background color, just like windows XP?

I can remove the padding , but it will look like this:

with the mouse over a button.

I can, however, remove that background so it looks like this:


(with a button pressed)

..however I can stop the button from being indented, but then there is no button down effect.

If either of those three behaviours is OK for you, I can make it an option.

Okay, I hear what your saying. Ideally, a hover picture could be included in the .bmp, like so: XP Hover Buttons

There could also be button-down images included too.

If this is not possible, I would recomend a slider bar, so the user can adjust the padding themselves? and then a check box with "hover effects" as shown in your post, and another with 'button down' effects. In fact, the slider bar seems a natural move whether hover images are possible or not.
