Hehe, actually personally I wouldn't mind tagging directly from the filter panel, it would be pretty easy to locate and clear up bad metadata.


I think that is a better idea for sure, set it up if you got time and I look forward to testing it out

b. Use stuff like %genre% instead of Genre? (i was trying to get a %date% %album% type field, but i just can't figure out how i'd put it in)
I don't really want to add title formatting, I don't feel it is necessary, it will impact performance and plus it will require too many hacks (on my side) to get multiple values per field working with it.


That makes sense... performance is priority no 1 . What about browsing by directory structure?  Suppose we have a path as follows:

Quote
Z:\Music\Classic Rock]\Led Zeppelin\[1969] Led Zeppelin\##- Title.mp3

It'd be awesome if we could access the directory marked in bold it using something like PATH(1) (where path(0) = root directory, etc) or something.

Actually any implementation of directory browsing would work for me .

Sad, I love similar Facets functionality. Though I still hope that either there will be a way to use Default UI elements into Columns UI layout or new SDK will provide an easy way to implement similar functionality.

Anyway, I'm switching back to Columns UI. Great work musicmusic, thank you for the great UI.

upd: Hell yeah, Globals functionality is just what the doctor ordered

Thx musicmusic for the nice enhancements 

Could you implement keyboard-A-Z-navigation in the filter-listview, e.g. pressing 'p' selects the first entry beginning with p.

It's not so difficult for fb2k developers to do smomething like that. When foosion said:

medialibrary auto update is working really well...

another request for ngplaylist is to select an album by the group name, so I dont have to highlight every song, I just click on the group name..

also in ng playlist is I select a song, hold shift and click the end of an album it does not select the whole album either it just highlights the bottom song... to me this is standard windows behavior that should be implemented... what do you think?

tagging from filter is also very sweet saves me lots of time and makes tagging a breeze, especially for finding badly tagged stuff... what are the future plans... so for filter what about inline tagging in the filter window itself... could be an interesting idea...

Two Three more feature request if I may 

1. The ability to put a button on the toolbar which envokes a drop down menu, like the ones already available for navigating backwards and forwards through tracks.
But with the ability to put the other button commands in the menu. This would allow for a less cluttered toolbar while also having a lot of functions available fast and it would allow to group related functions.

2. Having an entry in the View -> Layout menu to switch back to the previously chosen layout.

3. Overriding the font-type for specific columns. For instance I would like to use Wingdings in my ratings column so I can use star symbols to display my ratings.

[/quote]Hi,
Well I don't really want to invent a new scripting language (!) To be honest I'm not really convinced on directory browsing. However there are some tricks that can be used to mix in title formatting with current implementation (some version of album list did that). I didn't make any decision on that yet.

I don't really have any issues with that. But, implementing it in that way will interfere with any single letter keyboard shortcuts. There is an alternative implementation if you don't like that..

Thanks for considering those musicmusic

Just a (possibly unneeded) clarification about my suggestion for a rating column. I'm using the "classic" columns playlist view and I added a rating column myself. Now I use $repeat(*,%rating%) in there. But of course some nice symbols would look much better there. So please consider making something like that possible in both playlist views.

Thanks for listening, and keep up the great work

Hi there,

One of my first post, if not the first. I've been reading this forum for months now but can't really remember if I have participated...

First of all, I would like to congratulate musicmusic for his incredible work in developping ColumnsUI and having released a major component for this excellent program fb2k. (that's a bit too much... but it's just because of the way I turned it )
Then, thanks musicmusic for the implementation of the two new great features Filter and NG Playlist (I haven't had internet for the past 2 months... so they seam new to me) .

Nevertheless, there are two little requests I'd like you (musicmusic) to take into account.
[blockquote]- NG Playlist: ticker to hide columns title (as we used to be able to in playlist view)
- Filter: whenever I "browse" the filter panel, it brings up (focuses on) the Filter playlist... Ticker to enable/disable focus on filter playlist ?
[/blockquote]Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the possible english mistakes, my written english is usually pretty poor.

Edit@4h10 (Paris Time): Just thought that, in NG Playlist, it would be very handy to be able to collapse/expand the different groups we created. I mean, I created two groups, one for the artist, and one for the album title. It would be great to navigate through our library like that, just open an artist, an album, choose your song...and that's it !
I guess that's VERY complicated to implement... but hey, never know.
