the reason 5 spawn at once is because a previous version did do 1 at a time and waited for 1 to finish before starting the next. the problem with that is that it prevented foobar from closing which i thought was unacceptable.

And i don't know to tweak my code to show both types of files...

try this.

Code: [Select]

$puts(path.artistPath,$if($fileexists(Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg),Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg,$if($fileexists(Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.png),Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.png,$get(path.noartist)))

and please post in bio component thread with any more issues. this is bit off topic for in here.

$puts(text.artist,$if($fileexists(Z:\artists pictures\%artist%.jpg),%artist%,$get(text.noartist)))

i still can't see anything wrong with downloads and i'm using a 10 year old piece of crap pc with an even worse 3G internet connection. i'm looking at task manager and foobar isn't using any cpu at all. 5 instances of cscript.exe are spawned to run a bit of vbscript i found online and they barely use 1-2% each for a second or 2???

i *think* i've taken care of migrating folder names with periods in. it's not windows that has a problem with them but some of the jscript functions which i've hopefully managed to workaround.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2280132...emp/migrate.txt

Folders without image/txt files deleted: 0
Folders without image/txt files not deleted due to errors: 0

Folders with image/txt files to keep: 1279

Of those folders to keep, 11 were matched against artists in your library and moved successfully.
There are 1268 folder(s) remaining that don't match artists in your library.

Obviously if I'm doing something else while the foobar is playing in the background, the spike is worse and causes the stuttering playback.

marc2003, please advise a correct command to locate currently playing file, (same as double click on status bar). Want to use it on left click down.

function() { fb.RunMainMenuCommand("View/Show now playing in playlist"); }, "Show Now Playing", true),

hmm.. just checked on 1.3.5 - though, it works as i want, but i am on 1.2.9. Any tricks possible?

function() { fb.RunMainMenuCommand("View/Show Now Playing"); }, "Show Now Playing", true),

MachineHead, it's not. nothing happened, i remember had already try it few years ago.

1) Untick always show notification.

ps. why fb.RunContextCommandWithMetadb("Open containing folder", meta_focus); - make art reader script crash, temporary put that:
fb.RunContextCommand("Open containing folder");

    this.explorer = function(path) {
        if (path.is_file()) this.run("explorer /select,\"" + path + "\"");
    }

a.lbtn_dblclk(x, y);

Code: [Select]

a.lbtn_dblclk(x, y);

i bit awkward when decide to spend few mins to change covers for betterresolution/quality and cannot open exaclty showing image immidiately. any ideas?

When I use old version of your script  - "last.fm & wikipedia biography.txt"  I  have bio for band "Ekseption".
