musicmusic, I know how busy you must be, but I was hoping you could take a look at this request:

playlist view notification

It would make me very happy!

Trying the last test version I found that at track change I get heavy clicking noise and some quick display flickering. Reverted to the previous version the thing disappear.
I only copied the old one back so I'm pretty sure last columns UI is to blame.

Thanks.

@fabiospark: Weird, no such problem over here on Vista Ultimate. Just so you know.

I have actually an annoying issue with Playlist Tabs.
How can I change the background color of the playlist tabs?
I am not talking about the color of the tabs, but the backgroundcolor of the panel itself.

Hi. Having experimented around with my layout, I was wondering if there was the possibility of adding an option such as "right toggle area"; exactly the same as left toggle area, but on the right of the screen. Thanks a lot
If at first you don't succeed, so much for hang-gliding

(Hope i can post here also about albumlist panel - i found no other thread)

There is a small issue if you send/add the allmusic node to a new/active playlist. Each child node of the root node is sorted by view but the root node (all music) is sorted neither by view nor core sort settings: f.e. the root node of the view "year" is  sorted by artist.

I have a feature request:

Constant sorting of playlists in the playlist switcher by a sort string or at least alphabetically. Of course this would be an option as it would disable rearranging playlists.

I am (perhaps naively) assuming that this wouldn't take a great deal of effort to implement. I know I would find this very useful and I expect that many others would too.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

EDIT:

And while I'm here, how about switching to a playlist by typing the first few letters of its name?

if your play/pause button on multimedia keyboard don't work after switching to columns UI and when using kx drivers just add foobar2000 to main windows title and it will work.

I just made a new TEST version available here. It has a few improvements, listed in the changelog. Note the copy/paste in layout editor has one limitation currently - it lets you copy single-instance panels. Also note it doesn't use the Windows clipboard, so don't expect it to persist across foobar2000 instances. Also, being a TEST version, I only recommend testing the inline tagger on test files in case of any bugs.

Is there any news about v8? Did anyone discover serious problems with it? I'd like to have the inline tagging functionality very much, but I didn't try v8 yet because it is labelled as a TEST version (and because of musicmusic's warning). I hoped to see a more stable version released soon.

I've been using v8TEST for a long time now, since the time musicmusic posted it. It works fine over here.

Previous versions had inline tag editing, v8 added multi-file inline editing. That did have a couple of quirks, which will be fixed for v9.

I did not express myself correctly. Yes, I meant multi-file inline editing.

I think I'll wait for v9 then. Approximately when do you expect to finish it?

I'm not sure; I've fixed those quirks but Im working on some other bits and also I dont have too much free time at the moment. So maybe a few weeks?

Thank you very much for your understanding! ! !

Columns UI 0.2.0 alpha 1 released. Note: I just jumped version because versioning had become a mess. Basically aim from here to 0.2.0 final is to finish the FCL export functionality.

This version adds a complete layout (FCL) export. This is accessible from the main preferences page. It includes layout presets, toolbar layout, title scripts, colours and fonts settings. It is meant to be non computer specific (i.e. for using on another computer). So e.g. the buttons toolbar embeds images vs. storing the paths. This is a first implementation of this, and so the FCL format will probably change before 0.2.0 final.

What I'm looking for is feedback on the grouping of settings from the export dialog. These can be tree-arranged if needed.

If you try and import an FCL and don't have some panel it requires it will not import the file and tell you that. Currently however it will only tell you the name of the panel (vs. the name of the component, website etc.) I'll be improving that in the future, with the use of a panel database which is what the post a few above was for.

There is also a new "Themed" colours setting for the playlist view - this is basically for Vista with theming enabled and doesn't do anything useful otherwise.

Complete changelog here.

Thanks for update.

I got an error when trying to export an FCL.

missing panel

There's no panel missing what I can see, in the tree.

It exports all presets - so there should be a panel in one of the presets that's not installed ("Unknown" in the tree).

BTW importing will replace all your old presets (if the FCL contains presets).

Thanks musicmusic for the updated ColumnsUI 

Any chance to get volume-change by wheel without first-klick, like in StdUI AFAIK ?
If likely not, maybe an additional option in statusbar-prefs is feasible.

regarding the export dialog: From what I can tell, the "Title Scripts" checkbox refers to 1) the common title formatting scripts and 2) the title scripts on the "Globals" and "Columns" tabs of "Playlist View" (and possibly the other settings on those pages).  I think the "Playlist View" settings should be listed separate from the common title scripts.  At the very least, there should be some indication to the user that the checkbox refers to the "Playlist View" settings.  I was scratching my head when I first saw "Title Scripts", and the only reason I figured it out was because I knew that the "Playlist View" would most likely be saved as part of the FCL file.  I'm not sure if it would be clear to a new or casual user.

Also, would it be possible to have a similar "Select settings" dialog on import?  What I'd really like is just to see what settings are saved in a particular FCL file, so I know what will be overwritten when I import.  Ideally, I could select which settings I want to import, but I'd understand if that weren't possible.

Hi, I do have a number of issues with this:
-The volume pane is dynamically sized. So you could be turning the wheel and it then goes out of the pane's area.
-The volume pane is a particularly small area
-I would have to hook/subclass the status bar just for that when I'm not doing it now

Clicking first for the popup then scrolling avoids those issues, as does adding the toolbar to your toolbars someplace (which supports wheel scroll). The toolbar is much easier to use anyway.

I certainly don't want to add any (more) options for minor behaviour changes in the UI. I'll be cleaning some of those up sometime anyway.

Thanks for feedback.

Hi, in regard to number 1:
I liked the simplicity of the current groupings, but I agree there is some need to separate the two. There are a few things that could be done to alleviate this:
-Split the group into a couple of sub-groups ("Common scripts", "Columns playlist scripts"). But keep the tree collapsed by default to keep the simplicity.
-Add description in export dialog to list what each node includes.

May do both.

In regard to the second point:
Yes I will definitely add the same dialog for importing the FCL files.

Thanks for feedback

Would it be possible to implement a feature which remembers Album List Panel's scrolling position?

When I close foobar album list forgets the position I scrolled, and always resets and starts from beginning of the list. It's not a big deal but I recall Winamp's Album List remembering the position
