Columns UI

Reply #3326 –
Hello musicmusic!

I don't know if it was ever requested - if yes so sorry (this thread is very long). It would be nice if the button toolbars would offer the opportunity to create buttons that don't apply a command but open a menu with several commands wich are defined in the configuration box. For example: I create a button with the name clipboard and add to this button the following commands fromm foosions foo_utils: "cut, copy, collect, paste, insert". So clicking this button opens a menu with exactly this commands.

Another type of having pop up menus for buttons would be to define a button as a node of your main/context menu. For example: you define a button as "Custom info" and this button opens the submenu with the scripts from foo_custominfo, wich are organized in submenus.


I hope you like the idea to think about it!

Have a nice day!

What was the reason for changing the default buttons? Personally I think the new ones are ugly and perfer the older set. Is there a way to enable the older buttons?

If you're referring to the old buttons from version 0.8x someone ported them and they're in the upload section

I don't know if this is the right spot to report this, but currently I have a small problem with in-line tag editing in foobar 0.9.3b1 with coloum_ui 0.1.3 beta1v5. In 0.9.2 if I edit a tag field then tab or shift+tab to go forward and back then it will goes normally but in this version it just goes out of in-line tad editing mode. Any idea?

Dunno if the problem is with Columns UI or foobar itself, but it would be fancy to be able to get the album average bitrate to columns UI. Is this possible?

Columns UI

Reply #3330 –
Both the default UI and ColumnsUI work on a per-track basis. The information about the album average bitrate is not stored on a per-track basis unless you explicitly set it up with a custom tag.  AFAIK there is no way to programatically compute an album's average bitrate with foobar.

I see. I imagine that that wouldn't be that hard to program anyway. Different albums could be identified by tags or file structure.

Is it possiblе to sort the Coluns UI playlist alphabetical ?

Columns UI

click on the title column or use sort submenu in the edit menu

Solution 1) You can click on the column header for the column you wish to sort by.

Solution 2) Click on "Edit" (Upper right corner of your screenshot), then select the "Sort" submenu and choose what you want to sort by.

Solution 3) Configure foobar to automatically sort your playlist.  See this thread where I explained this to another user.  In your case you'll probably want to use %title% instead of %date%.

I want to sort the Sidebar playlist not the window one

I believe you can use foo_playlist_manager to sort the playlists.

The feature "activate now playing" when doubleclicking statusbar doesn't seem to work for me,
when browsing through a playlist,  that doesn't include the now playing song and that was sent
to the colums playlist by the album list panel.

However it does work, when using the playlist switcher.
I use the lastest versions of foo2k and the above mentioned components.

Is anybody having the same problem?
fire walk with me.

ok so heres the thing
i have made my columns config so that my columns playlist is at the bottom with a label toggle above it so that when i double click it to hide the list it does but foobar itself does not resize to accomodate for the lake of realestate i hide away.  i have all my other splitters locked so that when my columns is minimised they dont resize ie stretch to fill the gaps, which is good as thats what i want.

but what i also want is foobar to then move the large blank box minimizing the playlist leaves...

if this doest make sense i can include some pictures but basically foobar doesnt resize when i make the bottom panel minimized/hidden so you can just see the label...

is there a way to fix it perhaps?

maybe i can have to configs and get foobar to remember 2 window sizes... any thoughts?

I imagine something "container panel"...

This panel displays other panel( album art, trackinfo, buttons, etc) in it.

If this could be realized, we can have different font-combined trackinfo panel.

"trackinfo-albumart" panel, "albumart-albumlist"panel, etc.

First of all, we can solve "border problem".

If container has border line and sub panels have no border, they could seem to be "one" panel...

Is this possible?

Sorry for my poor English...^^

No, this is not possible at the moment. (Except for changing system wide colours of course). I like the borders  @ http://www.minnit.de/etc/fb_notebook.png

I mean no border can be "none" in each panel edge style.

And container panel and each panels have same background color, we can't see boder without system color change.

Of couse, container panel can be set sunken or grey...

It's just a dream at present...^^

I am not sure if it could be a bug or if i am just understanding something wrong:

I thought that the item group "none" in buttons configuration has same effect like "context menu" for hotkeys. So i created some buttons that represents some commands from foosions foo_utils  (add to specified playlist|Default, ....). I choosed item group "none" so that i can apply the command not only on playlist view but also on other plugins (f.e. browser). It doesn't work!

Is it a bug or does item group "none" has a meaning i don't know?



The following must be a bug:

I decided to create buttons for item group "playlist selection" with same commands like above. Everything works fine except these commands from foosions plugin that contain "play": f.e add/send to specified playlist and play|Default. All highlighted tracks are indeed sended/added to Default playlist but the selected track wich begins to play is being played in old playlist and not in "Default"

Feature request:

A variable for the next track depending on the playback order.
This should be possible with the sdk, because foo_osd has such a variable.

Would be really great if we had this, and use this in any panel because of $set_global...

BTW, why is the development of columns ui stuttering? Real life?

Feature request:

Would it be possible to have the status bar display the size (in MB) of the selected items?

Currently, the status bar can be configured to display a given number of decimal places of the (time) length of the selected items. This helps when creating a traditional CD (limited by time) but not when creating a MP3 CD (limited by file size).

It is the only feature that I'd add to the otherwise perfect ColumsUI.

Thanks and keep up that good work.
