is it possible to use just a number (1,2,3,4,5), instead of stars or other symbol, for the rating system?


I can do that no problem. Just put a number from 1 to 5 in your "rating" tag (in every song that is; if all your songs already have stars in that tag then you might want to change all of them), then in the preferences page where you define columns, put [%rating%] in the display tab. If you change your mind and want stars instead, use $repeat(*,%rating%) for display.

If you have a number of stars in all your rating tags, then use $len(%rating%) to display the number I think.

Does that answer your question?

Use [%rating%] if the rating values are stored in Playback Statistics own database,
use [$meta(rating)] if the values are stored in your audio files.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

I guess I'll re-post my question here in case everybody missed it:

In the album list panel, is it possible for me to add a keyboard shortcut for "send to autosend playlist"?

There are already shortcuts for "send to playlist", "add to playlist" and "send to new playlist".

Ok I give up, it looks like it's impossible without modifying the source for album list panel.
You guys can move on and ask other questions now (wow, no questions for a week!)

By autosend playlist, you do mean an autoplaylist?
Autoplaylists are by their very nature built 'automatically' based on a query of various types. If the track you are browsing meets those requirements then it is already there. If there were a send to command the playlist itself would reject the file same as trying to drag a track to an autoplaylist that does not meet the query.

Usually a need to continue re-posting the same text with no alteration is pointless. Begs the question that question is worded poorly.  Glad you have given up

EDIT: Nevermind, browsed thread, found answer:
$replace(%artist%,'feat',$rgb(173,173,173)'feat'$rgb())

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know how can I make a 'feat' word in artist field force to be of different color?

If I enter this:
$replace(%artist%,'feat',$rgb(173,173,173)'feat')
Everything after 'feat' is the same color as 'feat'.

If I enter this:
$replace(%artist%,'feat',$rgb(173,173,173)'feat'$rgb(235,235,235))
Only 'feat' is of different color, and that's great, BUT when I select it, everything after 'feat' becomes black.

Custom style like this didn't help:
$set_style(text,$rgb(235,235,235),$rgb(235,235,235))

Where is it pulling the black color from when selected? How do I override it?

Are you referring to the playlist? Is so what playlist component are you using?

Columns UI of course. Nevermind though, I browsed this thread a bit and found indirect answer, this works:

$replace(%artist%,'feat',$rgb(173,173,173)'feat'$rgb())

As a heads up, just because it is clear you are using Columns UI as your interface to foobar2000, does not lead to conclusion that you are using a particular playlist viewer. There are more than one playlist viewer available.

Is there any way to display how many items a particular filter returns?

For example, on the left hand side of my Foobar config, I have a filter that narrows the library down based any one of the following (depending on which I select):  year of release, genre, album, or artist name.

What I'd like is to display the various available filtered results, and how many results are under that result:



Like in this example, I've filtered the library by genre, and here I've selected the "Post-Rock" genre; as you can see to the right of the filter, I only have 4 albums from that genre in my collection.  Is it possible to have it state in the filter, then, "Post Rock (4)", and for every other genre similarly display however many albums of that sort I have?

i don't think the filter panel embedded in columns_ui can do that. try album list panel.


can you make a columns playlist panel always follow the playing playlist, while another panel follows the active selection (ie the filter results or a custom PL)?

Using Foobar 1.1.9b1 and Columns UI 0.3.8.8, how do I configure Foobar so that various artists albums are presented as single groups in playlists (right now, albums are split per artist)? Appreciate any help!

Have the playlist view group by album artist (in my case, %album artist%[: %album%]) and make sure all tracks on various artist albums have the same album artist.

Just setting the album artist (to "Various Artists") worked a treat! Thanks!

One thing I would like to do within the NGplaylist is to display subgroups within the original Album group. Take Nick Caves album Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus for an example. Is it possible to create a separate subgruop for disc 1 simply displaying 'Abattior Blues'?
I am not familiar with using 'globals' etc, and if using that is the only option, then an answer fitted for a beginner would be lovely

Hey guys, is there any way that I could split each values individually for a multivalue field such as %artist%? This is so that I could just display each artist name separately in the filter list.

In the album filter, if I just type Artist (which is the default), each value will be splitted invidually. However, once I changed to something like $if(%artist%, %artist%) $if(%artist_jp%,' / '%artist_jp%), these multivalue field are not separated.

Example:
%artist% contains Nobuo Uematsu; Rikki

Result when using $if(%artist%, %artist%) $if(%artist_jp%,' /  '%artist_jp%):
Nobuo Uematsu, Rikki

My desired result:
Nobuo Uematsu
Rikki


I have the same problem! I can't seem to find an answer to your/this wuestion - is there one?

Question: Is there anyway to expand folders on single click in albumlist?

I ask because fishing for the little "+" every time I want to expand a folder gets annoying after a while.

Using Columns UI, when I right click and drag a song to a playlist (say, it is titled "Jams"), then foobar2k automatically opens up "Jams". How can I get foobar2k not to do this, and instead stay at the search results or the entire library?

Hello everyone,

I'm new here, though I've been using foobar for a number of years now.

I upgraded from XP to Win7 last week, and in the process, I've decided to redesign my foobar. I had a very basic layout with the default UI, so this is my first time playing with Columns UI.
It's quite a bit more powerful, and complex, while offering some nice visual enhancements for the trouble. Unfortunately, there are a few features I miss from the default UI, but that's a different matter.

Thus far I've found a lot of information to help me along with my first CUI design from the wiki and these forums, but there are a few things that have stumped me and I can't find any answers.
Right now, I am struggling to format/align text in the 'item details' panel.

I want to put a bunch of information on it, but spanning it horizontally, instead of vertically. This is pretty easy to do, but the result is a mess. A global align left, center and right is not enough.
I wanted to align some text on either end, at the very least, or have some way to keep the spacing consistent.

After a bit of digging, it seems I am to use $tab() to accomplish this. However, it does not seem to work for me and I'm at a loss as to why. It's almost as if the $tab() function is completely ignored.

I'm using the latest versions I could find of everything; foobar v1.1.9 and CUI v0.3.8.8.

There's a lot more I need to figure out, but this is the biggest aggravation so far.

Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new field with the %added% tag from foo_playcount like this :



My query is
Code: [Select]
$if(%added% DURING LAST 3 WEEKS, $if2(%album artist%,%artist%))


But it looks like even if column ui knows that %added% exists it skips the DURING... part, at least the query works in playlist search.

What am i doing wrong ?
