Oh! go to Options->Display->Columns UI->Filter (tab)->Auto-send selection to playlist. Turn that off and you'll have the control you want.

Hi everyone )
I was trying customize grouping pattern in NG Playlist with no luck!
What I want should look like this:
ALBUM ARTIST - ALBUM (DATE)
for this I used:
%album artist% - %album% '('%date%')'
in "Preferences\Display\Columns UI\Playlist view\Grouping\Script" field
but some of my compilations have multiple %date% (DATE1, DATE2, DATE3 for example),
in this case it creates multiple groups with equal %date%.
Still I want'em to be a single group like:
ALBUM ARTIST - ALBUM (DATE1, DATE2 and DATE3)
I tried this expression with no luck:
%album artist% - %album% '('$meta_sep(date,', ',', and ')')'
it creates multiple groups anyway
Did I make a mistake in $meta_sep? or doesn't this function work for grouping at all?
PS I don't want to use auxiliary tag fields like "Released, date", "Produced, date"
thanks to one and all : )
PPS Is it possible to create expression like:
If %Date%=Single value, THEN CREATE Group, OTHERWISE Don't create group at all???
cause it could solve my problems otherway

In ColumnsUI, I would like to give track number priority all the time in sorting my songs, but I can't seem to find an option for this.

An undesirable example would be: If I were to first sort by title and then sort by album, the songs would be sorted according to their albums, but would also be sorted alphabetically instead of by track number.

I've tried searching for this, but... too many results to read through, so I'm sorry if this has been answered before.

When displaying the filters on the common Columns UI screen, the default behavior when clicking on multiple Genre filters "OR"s them together in the resulting playlist view.  Is there a way to configure a click behavior so that when you click on multiple entries for a given filter that they be "AND"d together, meaning a file must have all the filter entries in it, not just one of them (without disabling the OR behavior when desired)?  Perhaps a different key combination instead of the existing CNTL+click (OR's)  somekey+click (AND). 
I know this can be done with playlist scripts, but it will require a lot of playlists defined to cover the matrix of possibilities to bring up the various moods, energies, and rating combinations.  And after looking at my multiple genre setups, it appears that these playlists will be mostly simple variations of which genre's are "AND"d together.    A way to AND filters on the fly by  clicking on multiple Genre's and playing the resulting playlist would be nice - or perhaps there is a better method that I am unaware of?


No response after almost three weeks - guess the answer is "no one knows"?      Ok.

I came here after that:

How I would do it is add two or three GENRE filters and select one filter from each. I think you'll have to enable the filter option "sort using above filter order" (or something like that) and you might have to create a bunch of different GENRE filters. Then you can even use a horizontal splitter so that they're stacked neatly on top of one another next to your other filters.

I know, it's not great, but neither can Facets create AND filters. I tried Columns just recently, but switch back to the default because the you can't even make multiple values per track (eg %artist%|%album artist%) unless you're using dumb syntax (Artist;Album Artist) which doesn't allow for conditionals or anything.

lol. Let me explain:
  • Go to the Columns UI->Filter preferences page.
  • Select the drop-down option to use the order of filters on the preferences page for filtering.
  • Add multiple Genre filters (let's say 3).
  • Click OK.
  • Enter layout editing mode.
  • Replace your current Genre filter with 2 vertical-splits (assuming you use horizontal splits to separate your filters now).
  • Fill all three sections with your three different Genre filters
  • Use.


Remember that whereas selecting values WITHIN a filter results in an OR gate, selecting values in DIFFERENT filters results in an AND gate. What I'm suggesting is just one way to accomplish this.

Ok, now I get it... I believe that is working - thanks!    Is there an easy way to "clear all filters" when starting over?  It's cumbersome to have to click the "All" at the top of each individual filter to clear them all.

Not that I know of, but possibly. I can't test anything, because I switched back to the default UI.

In you layout, instead of horizontal / vertical splitters, you can use Panel Stack Splitter (PSS) You can download the component here http://foo2k.chottu.net and see the wiki to find how it works: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...er%29#PanelList

Hey guys, I'm new to everything foobar; so please bear with me:
Basically I'm trying to make a nice and simple skin, with Columns UI to match my Ubuntu (10.04) setup. I'm not using many fancy components yet; just keeping things simple whilst I get used to the functionalities etc.. anyway, One obstacle I've come across is the editing/skinning of the main toolbar (File, Edit etc) along with the one containing play controls. At the moment I'd just like to change the colour, as the default looks out of place in Linux, but maybe in the future skin it properly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,

Ben

Musicmusic, is there a reason for the different behavior of tab stack borders (or lack thereof) between CUI and DUI?


Image

If possible, consider this a feature request. This has been nagging me for years. Could you pretty please add an edge style option to tab stacks so one can mimic the look of the DUI tab stack border as shown in the above image.

Hello,

The toolbar Buttons Options window is fixed size (611pix heigh).

This does not fit a 10" Netbook screen size and I can not click the action buttons at the bottom!

Could you make this window resizable ?

thanks

Regarding my last post, I'm noticing all the non-skinned apps (ie: Miranda, uTorrent, 7zip) I'm using in Windows 7 have an edge style like DUI. The edge style is a solid grey outline. Whereas the CUI grey and sunken edge style lack the grey edge on the bottom and right side.

hejiamei, there's nothing to share. Those were just screenshot snippets of default layouts with an added ratings column and a wsh panel thrown in.

Hi.
There is a Columns config I like (Cleaninterface.fcl), with lyrics scrolling up the right side of the screen.
But it appears if I commit to using Columns, I lose the option to insert a certain file-browser panel I had on my default UI.

The one I really liked showed a tree of my entire music folder, where I could expand every branch, and see exactly what was in every folder, and double click to launch each file.

How to get that back?

Thanks

Columns UI has its own Album List Panel (see passage "Extras") which you have to install.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

Is it possible to disable the grouping function in NG Playlist when the number of tracks in this group is fewer than, say, 3?

Not being able to do so has bugged me since... for a long time. Help would be much appreciated.

Hello guys,

i'm new to foobar and i wanna do some modifications to adjust this great tool to my needs.

there's one essential question i'd like to ask you experts :-):
is it possible to bind specific playlists to specific playlist-panels? i mean: having a playlist panel for the media library and one as my main playlist. now when clicking on the tab of the main playlist, foobar should switch to the one and only playlist i have for this purpose and show it in the respective panel. the other way round it should switch to the filtering-playlist when i open the media library view.

do you guys know what i mean? i hope you can help me.

thanks a lot....

Thanks Robertina.
I thought that would just read the tags and autosort my collection by albums. (which I don't want)
Will try it out!

I'm trying to use CUI in conjunction with aero (win 7) and when I active transparency in the main window (the columns UI based transparency) I get visual glitches in the glass area. Is this a known issue?
