Columns UI

Reply #1800 –
I just started trying out mediamonkey and I noticed a feature which I thought was nice. You can progressively sort more than one column by holding ctrl while clicking on the column headers. This makes it easy to sort by more than one variable without having to use custom sorting.

Just a thought

I agree, that would be great.

Hmm, how is that different from what currently happens if you click e.g. the title column, then artist column? Sorting by columns already has a "memory" of the previous sort order if that is what you wanted.

I just tried it and I can't get it to sort with more than one column. For example, I clicked on my Artist column and then on my Bitrate column and it sorted everything by bitrate only. Of course I could get it to do this with a custom sort, but that's not as intuitive.

Have you tried clicking first on bitrate and THEN on artist?

I would really like to be able to have a second sidebar... I don't think that's possible at the moment, or is it?

I noticed that once i switched to columns the transparency option didn't work.  Is transparency going to be implemented into columns ui?  Thanks

No, its not. Im hoping to completely remove the sidebar by 0.1.3, with the new configurable layout replacing it.

The options for the Default User Interface do not apply to Columns UI.

Implementing transparency isn't on my immediate plans. Possibly later if its not too much hassle, but its not something I've looked into.

Vaguely. Foosion posted a screenshot in the coruscate thread, but there are still somethings left for me to implement before the sidebar can go.

Hello, I'm having little difficulties with a code. If you look at the screenshot, you will see that the artist is displayed on the first track of the album, although this is a Various Artists album. I'd like to display "Various Artists" when it is a VA album.



This is the code I use.
Code: [Select]
// Track 1
$if(%_is_first%,
$if(%_albumfirst%,$if(%album%,%album%,Unknown Album),
$if(%_is_various%,
$if3(%album artist%,%performer%,Various Artist),
$if(%artist%,%artist%,Unknown Artist))),


Can someone rewrite this to a working code please? I'd appriciate it alot!

EDIT: Never mind, I just figured it out. It was a faulty string somewhere in the global variables.

Suggestion:
I was thinking it might be handy to have a global color scheme for panel windows.  E.g. in each component you could select the 'default' (black/white), 'global' (which is specified somewhere in foo_ui_columns), or the usual user settings.

Obviously this would have to be supported by individual components, but foo_ui_columns could provide the global settings.

(...or is this already supported somehow and I just missed it??)

What will be new in 0.1.3 except maybe the configurable layout? Even if that's a pretty big thing.

I would like to see the ColumnsUI-interface providing ColumnsUI-variables (a stack of all $puts()), so that the ColumnsUI-variables can also be used by its panels e.g. trackinfo -  would be neat at least.

ATM you have to configure everything twice (even though copy & paste is your best friend)

*drooling* But these are not at all necessarily implemented by 0.1.3, right? They're just future feature requests? Because they all seem to me like hard developer work.

Your talking about global variables, right? Yeh I suppose so, it would be for convienience rather than speed though.

Hopefully He'll add the ability to treat the main playlist as a panel, so we'll get the ultimate freedom

Actually, I'd like to see the "columns" part of columns UI divorced from the main component. You could then retain the awesome panel framework, global vars, .fcs, and whatnot, but have a completely modular playlist component. Call it foo_ui_panels and foo_uie_columns respectively or something like that

Columns UI

I'd like to download and print the columns_ui documentation (as I did with playlist_tree and others plugin): is there a printer friendly version of it?

Or, at least, a 'one big html' to not have to spend hours in clicking on links to pages, then print, then go back, then click again.... etc.

Thanks.

Actually, something like a non-trackspecific global string which makes its vars also available to other stuff - may speed up things alot.

FCSs which have stuff like color-schemes - or generally make lots of use with color-calculations (especially the $blend function) - are currently the slowest FCSs. Thats because $blend() and color-calcs is a cpu-hog. However, this is stuff which theoretically only needs to be done once - not for every track.

In other words, FCSs could overload their most resource-hungry code to a non-trackspecific global string.

BTW: if you're playing with implementing global vars which can be used by other stuff - may i provide a slight reminder about the exposed background-color which currently can only be defined manually? Would be cool if there would be a global-var which can be used to override the manual-setting of the exposed bg-color.

thanks for columns ui.
