I put the DLL in my components dir.  How do I activate it?  I looked in the documentation but found nothing. 

Thanks.

first of all, you need to have the latest columns UI installed. then you need to go into the preferences and setup the playlist tree in a sidebar or something. once you do that you should have the playlist treein the wondow. there should be example queries in there. you can create new ones by right clicking in the empty space.
if you want to load a .col file you already have, just right click in the empty space and click select file and load.

Cwbowron... Any plans to reincorporate the Playlist Tree Browser?

I loved the way you create sortable columns (%artist%|%tracknumber%|%title%) in a way that's not really possible with Foo Browser.

How do I add it to the sidebar?  I see the playlist tree has a little sub menu in prefs. 

Sorry for being a n00b here.

There is no side bar in the new Columns UI.

Is this plugin more efficient than Explorer Tree or Album List panels?!

More efficient than Explorer Tree, i would say. I switched from that when i realised that PLT actually did what i wanted a lot better.

I don't know about Album List, though, they're not really designed for the same thing (although you certainly could re-invent the wheel in PLT if you wanted to).

hey is it possible to have the playlist in other way then by artist?

I want it sort by folder instead

I have tried anything that came into my mind without success.

Here is how my windows explorer structure is:

f:\music
in music I have \Pink Floyd\
and then in my pink floyd folder, I got all albums named [1977] Pink floyd - name of the album

All I want is to have a playlist that look in my f:\music folder and then only show all the stuff there!

is it possible?

what is the $avg() function used for? is it possible to use $avg to get the average rating of tracks within a subfolder?

also, with the new version, drop queries no longer work for me... do the files have to be in the DB?

I had this problem as well.  I changed the format to @default and everything worked just fine.  I am not sure why though.  Also, my query is for a folder with files not in the DB.

No, the files shouldnt have to be in the library...

I just tried a drop query and it was working for me:

I having a bit of trouble getting a query to show the count of folders under each entry. my query is as follows...

Code: [Select]
%label% '('%_foldercount%')'|$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)|%album% '('%date%')'|$num(%tracknumber%,2) - $if($strcmp(%album artist%,Various Artists),%artist% - ,)%title%


and it gives this result instead of the number of albums in each folder



what am I doing wrong?

blah, my database file got corrupted after such query
Code: [Select]
artist IS Byrds AND (tracknumber LESS 12 OR title IS We'll Meet Again)

maybe a feaky one, but it's to avoid bonustracks from byrds records. It worked, but after foobar restart every query after this one is.. well, mostly gone.

further investigation showed that:
Code: [Select]
artist IS Byrds AND (tracknumber LESS 12 OR title HAS Again)

works without database corruption

I think you should be able to get what you want using:

Code: [Select]
%label% '(@format<%_foldercount%>)'|...

hey I have only one search that is listed by directory structure.  For a reason I ignore, some of my folders show my songs twice!  I nuked the database and rebuild it but I still have the same problem.
Any idea what it could be?

No, the files shouldnt have to be in the library...

I just tried a drop query and it was working for me:


thats pretty much exactly how i have it. it worked up till the newest release, i was using "$puts(tree,$replace(%path%,\,|))$replace($get(tree),F:|Music|New Albums|,)" as the format. with the newest version of the plugin, this will result in an empty query. if i use @default as the format, i get the directory structure, but there are no audio files...

i tried shift-draging the folder into the playlist tree, it seems to work, i get a query like what you posted, but still, i just get the directory structure in the tree, but no audio files..

Uncheck the 'hide leaves' thing?

foo_playlist_tree

yup. leaves are not hidden anywhere else. not only do the leaves appear, but i cant even add them to the playlist when i double click on the query.
like i said, underneath the query i can see the folders that the files are in, but no leaves.

files that are in the library do not have this problem. they work properly with @drop queries.

If it doesnt have any leaves then the files are getting picked up as playable types... Take a look at your console output under View->console and see if there are any warning messages...

ok I found out why some of my folders were having songs in double.  It's because of the m3u file!  Is it possible in the criteria to not add the .m3u file in the database?

Are they in @database queries or in @drop queries?

@drop but nevermind, I've deleted all m3u files!

but there is something I dont understand.  Why every time I open foobar, I have to load my playlist?
Otherwise, I get the default one including the By Artist sorting...

Start up foobar2000, then in the planel, right click somewhere not on any item.  Select "Select File And Load" and it will load that file and from then on it will read and write to that file when exiting and loading....

I've also added "Ignore nested playlists in @drop queries" to my list of feature requests.  It was something that was available on 1.7.x but has been temporarily dropped...
