To be fair, the bug had already been reported by PogusMagnus.

tru, but

(1) that was a few pages ago, not a few posts ago

(2) he struck out twice (with the feature suggestion that cwbowron said one post before he'd implement next version), not just with that one bug

so there

Hi all and tks cwbowron for this 1.1.6b which works really well.
I have a little question about what is happening when youy have got for example multiple grenres (Electro\Hip-Hop) or artists(Stan Getz\Bill Evans) for a song.
When I tag those files with the masstager, i just see one genre : Electro, Hip-Hop.
I would like to know if it is possible to have to song in the both genres (Electro and  Hip-Hop).
Tks for your help

Just type 'genre' into the Formats column (as opposed to '%genre%')

Tks Silverbolt, you are right, i can now see the problem:
i can't have multiple genre with an album in APE format and cuesheet in it.
It just does not work !
So the problem is not foo_browser.
If you have a solution for those cuesheet, i'm interrested !
Tks

Is there any solution to this if I use complex formatting strings?

Code: [Select]
$cut($if3($meta(album artist),%composer%,%artist%,Unknown Artist),35)

Or am I fxcked?

No, i'm pretty sure Browser stops doing that fancy separating thingie if it detects that you've used any TAGZ in the format string.

Im having some trouble with the browsers.

I just installed the latest version, but i can't put the browsers in Columns UI layout, they dont show up under panels, so there is no way for me to put them on. Ive been going at it for awhile and I have no clue how to fix it. Anyone else have this problem or have an idea on how to fix it?

To explain more: I go to Columns UI-> Layout then right click on splitter go to insert panels and then go to panels and the browser panels arent there. I didnt see the question answered on any other page, so I figured id ask.

No, i'm pretty sure Browser stops doing that fancy separating thingie if it detects that you've used any TAGZ in the format string.

That's why I'd love to see foo_browser use a different approach on TAGZ vs multiple values like I described in my previous post.

Right now you can either use TAGZ and read only 1 value per field from each file. Or you use the notation without % and foo_browser will read all values for that field but without any further processing possible.

In my humble opinion it would be better and certainly more logical if foo_browser would read all values for a specified field and perform the formatting on each value. This would of course raise a problem with formatting constructions where multiple fields are used (for example, %genre% and %artist%). If these fields have quite a few multiple values, foo_browser would have to process all possible combinations between those fields which obviously would cause a performance hit and probably give results you don't want.
A better way would be to specify just one field for each browser on which foo_browser will check for multiple values. During processing foo_browser would read each value for that %field%, and then process the formatting string for each value while substituting %field% by the value and read other %tags% as normal.

I'm not sure I made my idea clear enough, but I really believe this (and some other things I previously mentioned) would improve foo_browser's usability.

Of course, all I can do is request such features, propose ideas and hope the developer finds them worthy enough to think about

I just installed the latest version, but i can't put the browsers in Columns UI layout, they dont show up under panels, so there is no way for me to put them on.

I had the same problem, and from the help I got and other people's same experiences it turns out this is almost always caused by an incorrect verion of foo_ui_columns. Just make sure you get the latest versions from both foo_ui_columns and foo_browser and all should be fine.

Release 1.1.7

Code: [Select]
New Features

    * Selected text color - focus, non focus
    * multiple tags using %<tag>% like playlist tree
    * @skip allows you to omit items from the list
          o Example: $if(%artist%,%<artist%>,@skip)

Bug Fixes / Improvements

    * Draw the selection bar across the entires line - looks better IMHO
    * automatically change border style on changed in preferences (SWP_FRAMECHANGED)

Wow thanks! Don't forget to catch some sleep every once in while

I'll try the new version later today, but in the meantime: thanks again for the incredibly fast feature implementations!!

I agree.  Can't live without it, especially since its so quick and convenient when trying to find a particular song.

I just kindly ask that an option be made to hide the vertical scroll bars.  Then it would be 100% perfect, instead of 99.9% like it is now!

Code: [Select]
    * multiple tags using %<tag>% like playlist tree

The option to skip certain output is great. I really appreciate it!

However, I can't seem to figure out how the %<tag>% works - Or I don't understand its meaning (more likely ). For example; I have 4 files with following tags:

Code: [Select]
File1
- <none>

File2
- TEST1=test1

File3
- TEST2=test2

File4
- TEST1=test1
- TEST2=test2

As browser formatting string I have %<test1,test2>%. This leads to following situation in the browser:

Code: [Select]
[All] --> shows all 4 files [OK]
<MISSING> --> shows File1 [OK]
--> an empty entry. shows File3 [??]
test1 --> shows File2 & File4 [OK]

Is that correct? Wouldn't one expect:

Code: [Select]
[All] --> shows all 4 files
<MISSING> --> shows File1
test1 --> shows File2 & File4
test2 --> shows File3 & File4

Or am I wrong?

[Corrected some typos]

many thx for the updates! indeed this plugin rules. 
still got no 100% full draw of the selection bar across the entires line. am i the only one?


any ways to add line spacing feature? and one question about drawing position of selection bar. possible to place the bar verticaly middle possition in relation to text of the entires line?

besides this, any chance to see someday something like this for albums:

There's a few kinks in the %<tag>% format right now, I think.

You are right in the way that it *should* work.

Hi and tks cwbowron for this new version. This plugin is getting better and better.
But on the 1.1.6, i had solved my problem with multiple genres : the songs appeared in both.
But now, it just take the first genre of the tag.
How must I do to make it appear as on the 1.1.6 ?
Tks for help

Uh, when I updated the plug-in, it disappeared from the window and I can't add it to a splitter.

Any help?

This new version is incredible, with the addition of the @skip feature I think it beats the iTunes navigation by far.

The only thing I miss is an option to update current playlist instead of a predefined one, because sometimes I like to browse my collection while playing a browsed playlist.

Thanks for foo_browser, cwbowron!
