nevermind, it's dropped already when reopening the History window (at least the version I have does this)

Yeah that's what happens here..

Great work!  If you added an "add to selection to history" hotkey and allowed files to be moved around within the history, this would be the plugin of my dreams. :) (admittedly, that would be a bit more than a 'history' plugin, but imho it would sooo handy)

I would like to keep the history plugin as simple as possible. What you request would turn it into some kind of alternative playlist editor, which should be in a different plugin imho. It should probably be called "edit list" or "archive list", and the fb playlist would only be used to determine the songs which are to be played and their order (thus truly being a PLAYlist).

I can't reproduce the mouse wheel thing. :blink:

Regarding the mousewheel, are you able to scroll in the main playlist at all when the history window is open?

And I understand your desire to keep the plugin simple, it just seems like a small step to make it really sweet.

The font resets for me too, btw.

Fixed the font issue. You can now download the corrected version.

Yes.

A small step perhaps, but not a small change in the code. What you imagine
1) isn't what I consider a "browser like" history, and
2) would therefore require a completely different design.

I have more important things to do. Sorry.

foo_history 0.4 for foobar 0.7

Only minor changes, no new functionality.

@mods: Please move this thread to the 3rd party forum. Thanks.

- "Next in history" will no longer act as "Next/Random", when the end of the history is reached.

I would like to see this functionality again. Now I have to assign <insert your "next" button here> to foobar's next/random instead of "next in history" which makes half of the plugin useless for me, as I can browse history only backwards. Could you somehow add the old behaviour back, please?

I'll try. I admit that the main reason for dropping this functionality was that I wanted to go to bed, and I didn't not see how to do it with the new SDK. I'll look into this some more.

- "Next in history" behaves like "Playback/Next or Random" at the
  end of the history

i think it is more userfull to have ALL in the same place!
Music is my first love.

Since you can get Follow Curser state through legal apis now, can you sort out the follow cursor stuff (the scrolling stuff i mean) ?

I'll look into that, I just didn't bother to do it until now.

Uploaded foo_history 0.4c.
Quote
[0.4c]
- when "Playback/Follow cursor" is enabled, changing the playing
  song through the history moves the cursor (and the selection)

The setting for the "Change selection when..." stuff seems not to be available through the current api. Please tell me, if you want a separate setting for this in the foo_history config.

Thanks  I dont personally care about the change selection when option (i dont use it since it messes up my selections..)

edit: it doesnt seem to be working here.. on a sidenote it says 0.4b in components list but c in changelog..

I'm new to this plugin and I think it's nice, but:
Why does it erase the the history when you pick a song in the history list and play it to the end. Everything you have listend to (previously) after that song is removed, before the playback continue in the foobar playlist where you left off before "traveling back in time".
Did this explanation make sense at all?
Anyway, I can understand this as a feature, but not as a default behaviour.


Btw: Any plans for supporting formatting like in foobar's playlist? Colors matching the main window would make it alot nicer to look at, and easier to read.

edit: I would like the option to leave the history as is, or add the song once more to the history. Then it would be like a history and not a time travel to undo you past mistakes (like listening to too many backstreet boys songs in a row...) 

I read that you would like to keep it simple, so it's all up to you.

The problem here is that there is no "auto-forward" after a song from the history ends. Since previous versions of foobar did not allow for plugins to determine which song should be played next after the current one ends, the plugin behaves like a browser would when you went back and then clicked on a different link. I am still not sure how this could be integrated into the GUI in foobar 0.7. The problem is, that you would not want to selected "History" as your playback order, but something like "History atop Random".

Yes, definitely.

With B31 and the latest compile of the History Plugin, $char(9) does not show correctly in the History window.

When quitting, the plugin did not release the meta_handles of the tracks in its list (or rather, it released them a little too late). Should be fixed now.

BUG: If you go back in history and play a song, the song will be repeated once.  RC10 history 0.4.6.  This bug was not introduced in the fixed metadb compile.

I don't want to double post, but this bug is still present and quite annoying.
