$imageabs2(resizeW,resizeH,srcX,srcY,srcW,srcH,dstX,dstY,image,options)

buttons just don't display no matter what for me. :/

I haven't understood the parameters of the $button - function .... (dstX,dstY,x,y,w,h)
Please, can someone shortly explain them to me ??

And what is ment with "Options" for the $button-function ...??

And it was mentioned, that the font-thing had been fixed. So I can repeat my old question:
-How is the font-size measured ?? -The width of a character, or its height, or what else ?? (I dont mean px or pt. Just the dimension)

thinking about it, with buttons you could make simple tagging panel with indication of things like mood / tempo and buttons to set it. other obvious thing to set other than rating is skip state ...

edit: i did a quick test, but the "hotspots" are shifted, i have no idea what i did wrong - or if it is a bug. i had to move my mouse someplace under "joyful" for "sad" to get hover image:

I second the request for a list of "new" functions (like $imageabs2 ), since I dont use the "Single-Column-Playlist".

Like Sw!ng, I'd like a full explanation of $imageabs2().  I tried following this, taken from the changelog for single column display,

Code: [Select]

$imageabs2(resizeW,resizeH,srcX,srcY,srcW,srcH,dstX,dstY,image,options)

but couldn't get it working properly.  The first two parameters only seem to move the picture, not resize.  Does the track info panel version work the same as the single column display version?

the hotspot rect is relative to the position of the button.

$puts(rating,$if(%rating%,%rating%,0))

$button(3,3,0,0,0,0,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating1.png,r1,)
$button(3,3,13,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating2.png,r2,)
$button(3,3,26,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating3.png,r3,)
$button(3,3,39,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating4.png,r4,)
$button(3,3,52,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating5.png,r5,)

1) I don't have photoshop installed, but I'm pretty sure it has a setting. It should be something like image attributes...

2) right now its limited to items from the context menu.

edit: I went ahead and uploaded a new version which ignores the dpi in the images.

and you can use this code

Code: [Select]

$if(%isplaying%,
$button(10,10,0,0,0,0,images\button.pause.png,images\hover.pause.png,Pause,)
,
$button(10,10,0,0,0,0,images\button.play.png,images\hover.play.png,Play,)
)

(although the buttons don't do anything )

as for the problem of not showing images: the issue i'm experiencing is than when i start foobar, i see no images. if i change the formatting to use other images (i have two sets with different size of the circle, with names varying only by choise / choise2 prefix), i can see them.

my guess is that track info panel mod is trying to load the images on start and because of some timeout, it ends up not loading them and showing nothing. as these "blank images" are being cached, it stays like that until the next restart (when i have to change formatting back to the original set to be able to see anything).

and terrestrial - any possibility of extending the positioning system (x,y,width,height in various functions) by for example relative values or percentage values? relative would be nice if we could put images directly into the text flow (example: using image with vertical separator directly inside text flow to visually separate it; relative positioning could come handy in case of that image being taller than line's height - i could move it up using negative relative position to make the text look vertically centered against the image). that's advanced useless stuff, i guess

Here's my code btw, gratiously stolen from an earlier visitor. I use the star images from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stars.

Code: [Select]

$puts(rating,$if(%rating%,%rating%,0))

$button(3,3,0,0,0,0,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating1.png,r1,)
$button(3,3,13,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating2.png,r2,)
$button(3,3,26,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating3.png,r3,)
$button(3,3,39,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating4.png,r4,)
$button(3,3,52,0,13,13,images\rating$get(rating).png,images\rating5.png,r5,)

Since you can only do things from the context menu, with foo_run you could create a run service... say called playpause that calls foobar2000 /playpause. That part works fine, and it is available from the context menu. Now how would I get the $button function call that context menu item?

Then how (if it's possible) would you create a button to pause/unpause playback?

I'm having a bit of a problem with the rating code. How does one display the unrated image when track is unrated and 0 when rating is set to 0? Also I can't figure out how to rate the track on click, when I click now nothing happens.
