Does anyone know if there is a more accurate way to trim long text. The problem is currently that the more text that is trimmed the more inaccurate it gets. Cuts more than necessary. This is basically what I currently use.

Code: [Select]

$left($get(tracktitle),$sub($sub($len($get(tracktitle)),
$div($sub($calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$get(areaWidth)),$get(charWidth))),3))'...'

If you're not using a fixed-width font, the string will vary in length.  There's no way to get the length of a string of text in pixels to use for trimming purposes.  Too bad that most fixed-width fonts are ugly.

That link doesn't appear to be very specific and I'd like to offer a solution to the problem because I've seen this asked many times.  This can be handled like so:

Code: [Select]

$puts(text,This is a string of text to test with)
$puts(width,$sub($div(%_width%,2),38))

$alignabs(4,4,$get(width),$calcheight(X),,)$get(text)
$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(text)),$get(width),
$alignabs($add(4,$get(width)),4,%_width%,$calcheight(X),,)...
,)

The only drawback to this approach is that there sometimes appears a gap between the last character of the text and the ellipse. If anyone has a better solution please post.

Is there any way to disable wordwrapping?

$puts(text,'Text to calculate, ie %title%')
$puts(charWidth,$div($calcwidth($get(text)),$len($get(text))))
$puts(width,$sub($div(%_width%,2),38))

$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(text)),$get(width),
$cut($get(text),$sub($div($get(width),$get(charWidth)),3))'...'
,$get(text))

I'm not sure why the wiki says that.  I use $imageabs2() currently in trackinfo_mod to display albumart and the image will stretch larger if you use NOKEEPASPECT.  See my post about 5 back.

Why is my trackinfo empty when i start foobar, and I have to go into settings and click "apply" to make my buttons reappear?

$align(center,middle)
$puts(text,[%artist%])
$puts(charWidth,$div($calcwidth($get(text)),$len($get(text))))
$puts(width,$add($div(%_width%,.1),100))

$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(text)),$get(width),
$cut($get(text),$sub($div($get(width),$get(charWidth)),3))'...'
,$get(text))


$puts(text2,[ - %title%])
$puts(charWidth,$div($calcwidth($get(text2)),$len($get(text2))))
$puts(width,$add($div(%_width%,.1),100))

$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(text2)),$get(width),
$cut($get(text2),$sub($div($get(width),$get(charWidth)),3))'...'
,$get(text2))


$puts(text3,[ - %album%])
$puts(charWidth,$div($calcwidth($get(text3)),$len($get(text3))))
$puts(width,$add($div(%_width%,.1),100))

$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(text3)),$get(width),
$cut($get(text3),$sub($div($get(width),$get(charWidth)),3))'...'
,$get(text3))

//Display Art?
$if($and($greater(%_width%,400),$fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.*))),$puts(position,142),$puts(position,8))

////Main block of text////
$alignabs($get(position),18,$sub(%_width%,$get(position)),$sub(%_height%,54),left,middle)
$font(,16,bold glow-107-132-153,234-232-227)
'#LINEHEIGHT,21#'
%artist%
//cut bracketed info from title if needed
$ifgreater($calcwidth(%title%),$sub(%_width%,$get(position)),$puts(title,$cut(%title%,$sub($strchr(%title%,'['),2))),$puts(title,%title%))
//If the title is still too long, use smaller font
$ifgreater($calcwidth($get(title)),$mul(2,$sub(%_width%,$get(position))),'#LINEHEIGHT,22#'$char(10)'#LINEHEIGHT,14#'$font(,10,bold glow-107-132-153,234-232-227)$get(title),'#LINEHEIGHT,19#'$char(10)$get(title)'#LINEHEIGHT,22#')

Thanks terrestrial. I tried that, but that just deletes everything from the "Bla" playlist. I assume that this is because there are several commands that could be accessed with just the name "Bla" - i.e. the button action "Bla" could be interpreted as "Edit other/Add to specified playlist and play/Bla" or "Edit other/Remove from specified playlist and play/Bla" or "Edit other/Send to specified playlist and play/Bla". So if the button action "Bla" is all that is needed, how do I specify which of these "parent" commands to use?

Apparently it's been asked already but i didn't find it via the search:
Any chance to have a function for getting image X Y resolutoin?

@Terrestrial: Could you add an option (e.g. "NOCACHE") to the imageabs-functions that enables me to prevent specific images from being cached? At the moment my [a href='index.php?act=findpost&pid=464466']fullscreen config[/a] eats RAM like nothing.

Why doesn't track_info_mod update when playback is paused or stopped?
I'd like to be able to use %cwb_systemdatetime% when stopped.

$put(text2,text)
:loop:
$ifgreater or equal($calcwidth(text),$get(areawidth),$put(text2,$left($get(text2),$sub($len($get(text2)),1))) goto :loop:,:endloop:)
:endloop:
$get(text2)

Feature request. I was wondering if you might consider adding a function to calculate the number of characters in %text to check% that would fit in a specified width. To do this requires the use of a loop which is not possible in scripts.

Code: [Select]

$put(text2,text)
:loop:
$ifgreater or equal($calcwidth(text),$get(areawidth),$put(text2,$left($get(text2),$sub($len($get(text2)),1))) goto :loop:,:endloop:)
:endloop:
$get(text2)

This way it's possible to have much more accurate truncations (...) on long text.

you can't  I've been meaning to rewrite the button to handle paths but haven't had the chance to yet.

What about non-fixed-width fonts? Obviously, an 'i' takes up less space than say 'B'. I could fit two 'i's in one 'B', if that makes sense.

I think it'd be a lot easier if the component automatically trimmed text when it exceeds the text bounding box, automatically appending '...'. At the moment it just cuts off the last word/s until it fits. [/feature request]

I'm not 100% on this, but you need

// PerTrack

somewhere before your button code.  I always use all the headings -

// Global
// Background
// PerTrack
// PerSecond

even if I don't have anything in that section.  Check the wiki for what goes where (buttons go under PerTrack).

Buttons can not be in the // Background section. This much I am fairly certain, however they should work in the // PerTrack section as I use that myself.
