Some weeks ago i posted that some commands from foo_utils don't work correct if they are applied from a button. I am sorry if it is already known but i discovered that many other commands also don't work with a button. Hopefully you will have same time, musicmusic, to fix this bug/problem in one of the next releases.

nice test version 6  glad to see you back on the forums musimusic  does that mean we should be expecting more columns ui updates soon?

Not really... maybe when I buy a new laptop (old one broke). But choice in Core 2 Duo / Turion X2 laptops, 14/15" WSXGA(+) screen with reasonable spec (and price) is poor  So, don't know when I'll get a new laptop either.

Who's up for a donation?

Edit: Things I would REALLY like to see in a new version:
* Option to hide splitters
* Option to lock splitters from moving (eventually entire table)
* Possebility to show and hide a panel from a command
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

I am having trouble getting the column dll file to work with foobar 2000 version 0.9.4.1  and I get the error message that foo_ui_columns.dll requires a dependency or is made for another version of foobar 2000.  Any ideas?
It means you downloaded old version of Columns UI.

Sorry, works here. Try checking you are setting the item group correctly. Beware, setting it to now playing item will crash if nothing is playing. That is fixed for next build.

Is that a pound for every minute it would take to compile Columns UI on this phantom computer?

I found notebook I want. But need to wait for stock on some not-so-random websites

I hope I don't intrude here, but I found a private assembly for Visual C++ 2005 on your (musicmusic) wiki but, unfortunately, the link is broken.  I was hoping to have the runtimes so I can carry foobar around on a USB drive and have some components work properly on machines I don't have admin privileges to.  Do you think you could host it again?

I re-upped the file you're after here. But make sure you follow instructions from the wiki page correctly for it to work.

Try this: foo_utils command "Add to specified playlist and Play"(choose any playlist or like me the default one).  When i press the button the track will be added to the specified playlist but will be played in the source playlist.

One question: What does item group "None" exactly mean? I thought it is similar to keyboard shortcuts [context menu]. I tried to use such buttons to apply commands f.e. on a selection of tracks inside of foosions database search or other plugins who offer the functionality to use shortcuts

Hi musicmusic,

there seems to be a bug in the Button API with the dropdown menu: Whenever captions (of menu items) contain a &, they are just added to each other.
For example, these are the captions I add (when menu_node_t::get_display_data is called):
Code: [Select]
Test&1;
Test2;
Test&3;
Test&4;

and this is what I get in the button's dropdown menu:
Code: [Select]
Test&1;
Test2;
Test&1;Test&3;
Test&1;Test&3;Test&4:


I'm having this problem with 1v5 and 1v6.

I'm trying to keep track of the artist and title of the previous track so I can customize the appearance of the playlist based on changes without having to do so based on the track of the album being 01.  So I put this code into the Global Variables section of the Playlist View:

Code: [Select]
//Keep track of the Artist of the previous track
$ifequal(PreviousArtist,%artist%,$set_global(SameArtist,1),$set_global(SameArtist,0))
$set_global(PreviousArtist,%artist%)


It seems to work, except the $set_global line is always processed before the $ifequal line.  The result is that the change in artist is never detected and SameArtist is always 1.  I've tried many variations of code to get it to work, but it always comes out the same.

So my question is, how is the variables page processed, and how can I get what I want to do done?

Thanks.

Maybe I'm daft, and maybe this doesn't even belong in this thread...

I have a self-titled album by Hindsight 20/20.  The album title displays correctly, but the artist title displays as:

Hindsight 20, 20

This is using the default display and style settings in ColumnsUI.

Any suggestions?

foobar treats the / character as a separator between multiple artists. so "Hindsight 20/20" is being interpreted as two artists "Hindsight 20" and "20". This is why it is displaying "Hindsight 20, 20".

I'm not sure of a good way to work around this other than not using forward slash in field names, but you might want to try experimenting with:

File> Preferences> Advanced> Display> Properties Dialog> Multivalue Fields:

I thought the multivalue seperator was a semicolon. The only case where this doesn't hold true is foo_infobox which uses the forward slash.

In both the default and Columns UI interface, titleformat scripts can only evaluate one track at a time. So unless you are using a plugin/component that alters this functionality, (which I'm not aware of), what you're trying to do is impossible. Your variable "$set_global(PreviousArtist,%artist%)" will not carry over from one track to the next, it will always reset to the %artist% of the current track being evaluated. Or something like that...

^^ And, even if you could do that, $ifequal() only works for integers IIRC. You'd need to use $stricmp() or $strcmp().

But it won't work anyway, for the reason Cosmo stated...

Darn.  So there's no variables that aren't defined and set on a per track basis?  Thanks for the answer.

Musicmusic. Could you maybe add so that it is possible to use underline somehow on %isplaying% in Globals > Style. That would look cool imo.

Feature request:
I noticed at the very bottom of the General Suggestions of the Feature Request wiki page was:
"have more than one columns playlist"
I must say this would be amazing, but my real request is to be able to specify a playlist for a specific instance of columns playlist.

The reason is that I have multiple layouts for 5 basic views Browser, Playing, Radio, Search, and Saved. I find that each of these require slightly customized UI. I would like to use Columns Playlist for the Playing view because it has as much graphic capability as this view requires and it has the, all important, drag & drop to reorder the songs that a Playing view needs. The problem is that, in this scenario of "views", or "layouts" for different playlist scenarios, I need to be able to freeze the columns playlist to a specific playlist.

I hope I explained this adequately, Thanks.

P.S. See the following for a current work around, that isn't really working around.

Sorry for delay in reply I overlooked your post.

It looks to me like the bug is in the Columns UI SDK. Can you try changing ui_extension.cpp / line 154 from
Code: [Select]
                if (strchr(name,'&')) {fix_ampersand(name,temp);name=temp;}

to
Code: [Select]
                if (strchr(name,'&')) {fix_ampersand(name,temp);name=temp;temp.reset();}

and then recompile and let me know how you get on. Thanks
.

Cheers. I only installed Vista yesterday and realised album list panel wasn't working when I was getting some random crashes.
