Is it possible to make a browser-panel that sorts the files after directories?

You should be able to accomplish that with either
%directoryname%
-or-
$directory(%path%,n)
depending on your needs. see the titleformat_help.html file in your foobar directory for more details.

Before starting to use a plugin it is always a good way to get familiar with it. So take a look in context menu, main menu and especially foobars preferences page. I am sure you will find it there!

I have the default 3 browser panels, Genre, Artist, and Album.  Say I select Electronic from the Genre list.  All of the artists tagged as Electronic show up in the Artist panel and all of their albums show up in the Album panel.  When I click on an Artist I want it to just display that Artist's albums in the album panel, but it just keeps the entire list of all electronic albums.  Is there any way to change this?

Go to the preferences and choose for the album panel a precedence level which is higher than the level of the artist panel

Still doesn't work

Code: [Select]
Genre         Artist               Album
Indie      -->   Cursive         -->  Displays all Indie albums

Genre has a precedence level of 1, Artist 2, and Album 3

I have tried it with Album at 2 and Artist at 3 and it doesn't make a difference.

Any ideas?

Try setting artist and album to the same number, for example 2.

Keep in mind that you need to refresh the browser panel settings by shift+right clicking on them and selecting their criteria after you make changes to the precedence levels.
There used to be a link to my website here.

That doesn't work either.  I wonder if this is a bug or just the way it was intended to behave..

Here is a screenshot of my browser

I know that selecting the artist on the browser will display all of that artists albums in the playlist, but i would like to be able to choose from that artists album in the album panel without having to go through all artists' albums.


edit: I have been refreshing the contents too, and even restarting foobar after making changes to precedence levels.

I have my "Genre", "Artist", and "Album" windows set to "1".  When I select a certain genre, it then shows only the artists and albums for that genre.  When I then choose a certain artist from the new list, it only shows the albums for that artist in the "Album" window.

Not sure why it won't work for you.  Btw, I am using version 1.2.2c.  Also, my "0" window is "Codec".

Hmm, well for whatever reason, its working correctly now.  Guess i must've been doing something stupid.  Thanks for all of the help

btw kockroach, there is a version 1.2.3 available now too http://wiki.bowron.us/index.php/Foobar2000:Browser

I feel like a complete doofus.  I have columns_ui 0.1.3 beta 1v7 installed, using fb2k version 0.9.3.1, but the panels simply don't show up for me.  Under Preferences -> Media Library -> Installed Media Library Viewers, the "activate" button for Browser is greyed out.  Album List works, though not as a panel.  Any quick ideas on what I've done wrong?  I can't seem to get anything to pop up as a panel.

sti3: Are you adding your panels to your layout from:
File> Preferences> Display> Columns UI> "Layout" Tab

No do I need to do that?  I thought when you installed the foo_browser component its panels would automatically pop up if the browser was activated/selected.

The only things I have in that layout tab are playlist sidebar (default) and playlist tabs

EDIT:  I got it to work after googling this exact phrase and finding this page: http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/foobar2000_itunes.htm

However I want to be able to clear all filters.  I seem to be stuck on a certain filter.  Refresh Browser contents?

Has this been recompiled to work with Vista?
And does anyone have a way to sort the Artists to just ignore 'The' but still allow it to display the Artist as 'The ___'?

It hasn't.

use
Code: [Select]
$replace(%artist%,The ,)


(in your sorting field)


check the previous page of this very thread.

Hi and sorry if this has been discussed.

Is it possible to display a multi-artist tag like "artist1 vs. artist2" in both a1 and a2 menus instead of its own?

I don't know that it is directly, but there is a script built in to foobar2000's tagging system that splits "artist" tags into several ones (e.g. if there's an "and", or a "," or a few other sets of characters it will become two tags at that point.) This then sorts correctly.


i used ";" and it worked for me few weeks ago.
but i started using foo_browser again today and it doesn't recognizing 2 artists...
what's the problem ?

I'm trying to do something like cYmoZz was earlier but I've hit a road block.

This is how my music is generally set up in the directories.


This is how the browser is set up. I've highlighted the problem folders. What I'm trying to do is get the panels to say

ROOT NAME  |    ARTIST    |  ALBUM (YEAR)

Only problem is with the folders named "Disc #" start to mess up the way that the panels show up. I've tried a few $if statements but none of them really work to well.

Is it possible to exclude items entirely from a panel? I don't want to display all items which has %skip% tag. I tried the following without luck: $ifequal(%skip%,1,,$if2(%artist%,<MISSING>))
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

Where is the %skip% tag stored?  Is it actually a tag within the file, or is it a custom tag stored elsewhere (only used in fb2k)?

I tag tracks I don't want to be played (could be interludes/intros on albums, or other tracks I find improper to be listed) with a "1" in a custom field called %skip%. It's also used by many people using the foo_skip component.

How does the sort-feature work? I tried putting
Code: [Select]
$if($stricmp($left(%artist%,4),'The '),$replace(%artist%,The ,),%artist%)


In there to remove the 'The ' in the artist name but still, when I refresh the panels all artists starting with The are stuck down there in the same place.

*edit*

Now I found out how to refresh properly. Now my problem is that all artists are in some sort of random order, except for the "the-albums". Why is that?

*edit again*

Solved it by
Code: [Select]
$replace(%artist%,'The ',)
