Is there a way to disable album art display in the NG playlist? I looked around the preferences, but couldn't find one.

what does NG stand for by the way?

where are all the artworks stored that are loaded? in RAM?

i'd like to be able to use the artwork column only in certain layouts, is that possible?

musicmusic could you add a checkbox that enables the search for a artwork in the parental directory? i use that for albums that have 2 cds, i store the artwork once in the album folder and have the music files in folders cd1 cd2 etc. i know it would possible to write a script that would look there but that's not very elegant
or would looking into the parental folder as well use a lot more resources??? maybe it would be better after all to store the pictures with the music files - what do you think/suggest

is there any advanced track display panels for colums ui that works wiht the newest foobar sdk?

%is_playing% in playlist switcher doesn't work properly. quite often i get more than one playlist that %is_playing%=true
it might have to starting up and starting playback in a different playlist than before shutdown. or with invalid playlist entries (file not found) and then switching to another playlist.

musicmusic, are there any plans for some of the old requests?

I'm especially interrested in these two requests:

"Lock splitters for sizing"
"make width of the separators configurable or at least > 2"

Since upgrading to foobar 0.9.5.3, I discovered that %_playlist_name% isn't working any more.
Is there any equivalent field I can use instead, or - if not - is there any chance, that access to this field can be recovered somehow in the next CUI-Update?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm, I could make it available again in just Columns UI if needed. Where are you using it (I don't remember if it worked in just the playlist or elsewhere as well) ?

Simplified example:

$if($strstr($lower(%_playlist_name%),error),
set_global(bg_color,$rgb(255,255,255))
set_global(has_error,1)
,
set_global(bg_color,$rgb(255,0,0))
set_global(has_error,0)
)

1. I still don't understand how you accidentally resize something.

(It would be great if the system could show more than three images. Sometimes I scan complete booklets and have lots of image files in the album folder.)

When I use this rule: %album artist% - %album%
it works fine if the tags don't contain illegal characters, but, for instance, AC/DC - Volts is a problem.

I have named the actual image file as "AC_DC - Volts.jpg" -- i.e. I have replaced the illegal character with an underscore (which is the foobar standard for audio files), but the Artwork View panel does not recognize the filename. Would it be possible to add support for replacing illegal characters with underscores?

It doesn't stand for anything in particular.

The scaled copies are kept as GDI resources, so in memory somewhere I guess.

Not at the moment.. Though it isn't shown if the playlist has no grouping. I may link it more to grouping presets later, don't know if that helps.

I may just add multiple sources a bit later.

Can you try and track down what specifically causes it? I couldn't make that happen. Edit: Never mind I found it.

I think the handling of them will vary between people,

but anyway just do $replace(%album artist% - %album%,/,_,:,_,*,_) etc.

I think it contains all common illegal characters (on NTFS), except "a dot in front of the filename", but so far I have not stumbled on a name that would start with a dot.

0.3 beta 2 preview 8 released. See changelog for the details.
