common7 is no longer supported so i really would recommend using the latest common8.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2280132...sh/samples8.zip

as you're using very old scripts, you need to make sure your WSH panel mod component is new enough to run new ones. 1.5.0 or above is required. latest version is 1.5.6 https://code.google.com/p/foo-wsh-panel-mod/

also, make sure you extract the whole marc2003 folder and overwrite any files if prompted.

foo_uie_wsh_panel_mod is 1.5.6, probably 'get update' button works well sometimes.
the same folder i store scripts too. common8 is same as 7? i just not like the idea to open bitmaps files in paintbrush as you mentioned.

use the latest 8 and later on, i'll add a new setting where you can choose what double clicking does. at the moment, you can right click the panel>open containing folder.

when i post the update, you can just right click the panel>Update script.

well no. WSH panel mod is not on the official component repository.

hehe, rite, probably i did update it by myself during one of my sleepwalking trips.. ok

hm.. many new menu options, probably somebody needs it, not me.

hold on, i should enable dl.dropboxlamerscontent.com on my zisco first

okay, no need to update for me, just modified double click and checked it - THE SAME behavior == not always highlight..

PS. funny:
Code: [Select]
common6.js"
WSH Panel Mod (Art Reader by marc2003): initialized in 6 ms

common8.js"
WSH Panel Mod (Art Reader by marc2003): initialized in 7 ms

1ms price for opening covers still incorrectly, without hightlight.

When I use old version of your script  - "last.fm & wikipedia biography.txt"  I  have bio for band "Ekseption".


the problem here is that the first script you use will fetch the bio just fine but it leaves an entry in the internet explorer cache for 24 hours preventing the other script from fetching the bio. i don't know why it can't use the file in the internet explorer cache.

i'm stuck with IE8 so apologies if these directions don't exactly match what you see, click on tools>internet options>browsing history>delete. make sure temporary internet files is selected and you can untick everything else. click delete and you're done. reload the common8 script and it should work.


It's work.

Second answer: why script "now playing.txt" not included in samles8.zip. This is my favorite script, and so I have to use the previous version of your package.

no complaints if it's win problem, you can reconstruct even with your version if don't trust - just right click and choose 'open folder' (~20% highlight fails), always was the same behavior with common6.js, was thinking first i double click too fast and/or too many entries in search patters, but cmon it's not 286 now, everything counts on 0.0001 seconds, but even if you do it as retired the same 20% there, so it's not a case.

i like the idea of "now playing", especially in fullscreen mode!

okay, will switch to album art viewer for now, as it open folder and highlight images on 100% clicks.

hi @marc2003,

im new to foobar. i've found your website with the wsh panel mod installation instruction...

im stuck and cant follow this instructions

"Next, click on the WSH panel to open the configuration dialog. I recommend leaving all settings at their defaults. Now simply add the script you want to use. These are located in the samples8 folder inside the zip. If you extract that somewhere, you may use the Import button to browse for it otherwise you can just copy/paste the text. To access this dialog in future, you'll need to right click the panel and choose Configure from the menu.

Click OK to close the dialog and hopefully we won't see any errors!!"

this is where i'm at.



where's the WSH panel and how to add your scripts...?

cheers...

You need to add a WSH element to your layout. The best way to get familiar with this is to use a scratchbox (View>Layout>Create scratchbox) and get creative. You can create more than one scratchbox to compare or use as a sort of staging box for different elements. Splitters divide the UI into sections and will probably be your first added elements. They can be resized or locked (r-click on the splitter) depending on what you want to accomplish. Once you have the UI layout sectioned as you wish you can start adding the main elements (those being things like Facets, playlist renderers, WSH panels, etc.).

Basic layout example.

Explanation of above images:

1) Splitters. First one is top and bottom. Then the left and rights were added above. You can do these any way you want. If you don't like it you can right click on a splitter and remove it or simply make a new scratchbox and start again.

2) Added elements. Three WSH panels and one tab element. Note - you can also add splitters and other elements in the tabbed elements. Click and try various options.

3) Configuring WSH panel. Simply click on the one you wish to configure and then Tools > Import. Browse to where the text file is (in your case marc2003 > samples*) and choose which one you need. Hit apply or OK. You can also use a text editor, select all then copy & paste into the configuration editor if you are using something besides marc2003's samples.

That should be enough to get you started. If you like what you have created then you can do a couple of things. First, you may want to export the theme you have created in case you want to continue exploring your options. Click the edit button (upper left of the scratchbox window) and export with a name besides theme. That's the default name and you will need to differentiate. You can save them anywhere. Second, after saving you can apply your new theme under the scratchbox edit button as well. Just select apply and your new layout is now applied ready to use. Just close the scratchbox when you're done.

* marc2003 has provided several versions of his samples (eg: 6,7,8). You'll need to browse to the one that corresponds to the common.js in the main marc2003 folder. Probably common8.js if you are using the most recent. Earlier versions can reside in the main marc2003 folder with generally no conflicts, too.

maybe i should address your posts.

i did put wsh panel on my layout.
i've used splitters yes.
i've used scratchbox yes.
i did use export and import theme on my experiments yes.

so...  this is my first image before your posts...





more than half of the foobar is covered by the folder view, but that's the wsh panel on the right side. and i used scratchbox and splitters and export import themes on my experimentations.

because it seems like my first screenshot didn't get the message through... i made another screenshot (basically my last post before this)

fullview of my current foobar created by import export theme from scratchbox... (the WSH panel is on the right side) (splittered left right with playlist)




my problem with couldn't follow mark's web instruction is these... (from the last post screenshots...)

when i clicked the WSH panel, the panel mod configs comes out => tools => import => marc2003 => images8 (there's nothing there) => buttons cd lastfm etc etc => when those are clicked, the inside are empty





you see when i click the WSH panel mod on the "create your script click here to open editor" => WSH panel mod configuration => tools => import => appdata => roaming => foobar2000 => marc2003 => images8... there's nothing there... => inside images8 => there's the buttons cd mb misc etc folders, but it's also empty...

i think i missed a step somewhere. let me know if there's any of my explanatiosn that are unclear for you, but for now, kindly check out my screen shots because.. that's probably the best i could do to describe my problem, in addition to words...

why did you stop reading there? the next sentence is kind of important.

i'd have thought the last part about copy/pasting the text would be obvious?? you actually have to open the txt file inside the samples8 folder. just double click and it will typically open in notepad.

ahhh i see what i missed!! basically.. i didn't know that "script" means notepad...
hehehehehehe. well i know now...

fyi... i've read everything over and over and over before posting here. i didn't know that script means notepad. i went to samples8 folder inside the zip, and i couldn't find a script. i just found bunch of notepads. so there that was.

yeah no. i have no experience with tweaking digital stuffs whatsoever, particularly coding. this is my first experience. no yeah... it's obvious now that you've explained it to me... but it's completely oblivious to me when i tried it out by myself.

thanks for pointing it out marc2003.



thanks to you, and machinehead...



yeahhh!!

i tried rating, similar artists, and bios... hehe!

i know you didn't mean it as a compliment. but im genuinely happy. no hard feelings over here mate.
and terribly sorry to made you have to explained that.

yeayy!!

the way i cut your explanations made it looks like that i seemingly didn't read the subsequent sentences. i'd like to reiterate that that's not true... i did read it. and didn't understand it. but it's a good lesson.

when people write script it meant notepad with bunch of codes inside of it. i see thanks!

i um... checking out and reading all your scripts explanations now. im reading about thumb at the moment... probably will have question/s about it after a while...

cheers

heh, i was only having a bit of fun. i suppose i should learn a lesson as well. not everyone is at the same level when it comes to using computers. i see this on a regular basis at my local library. i go there because the internet is exponentially faster than what i have at home and i do see lots of new people struggling with the very basics. unless you're instructed by someone competent, it's not always easy to pick it all up by yourself.

i guess its fairly obvious that script equals code if you know computers and your first language is english. mine isn't hehehe!

it's all fine and good. yeah! your thumbs script is the reason i was looking for your wsh panel mod. thank you for releasing it to the masses.

now in relation to "fairly obvious" stuff and "english language" related questions again...

these are all thumbs options that i dont understand after i tried it by myself (either because i cant see / missed the differences or nothing happens that jumped out in my eye)

automatic download => library tracks only and all tracks
1) what's the difference?

limit 1 - 3 - 5
2) is there option where i don't have to choose? (is it possible to leave this blank instead of choosing 1,3,5?

selection mode
the explanation written are "Selection mode allows certain scripts to prefer either the playing or selected item"
3) what's the difference between now playing and selected track?

what's a selected track anyway?

*particularly number 3, you see, it's a language barrier more than anything. hahaha

WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help

1) if you use the foobar media library (file>preferences>media library), then the library tracks only option will only work if the track lives in one of the monitored folders. if you play file that isn't inside one of these folders, no attempt will be made to automatically download an image. just remember that it will display images for any previously saved artists and the manual download artist art from last.fm option always works regardless of the setting you have chosen.

2) ???? you have to make a choice of how many images you download. if you want it to be none then don't use the script in last.fm mode. instead you can use custom folder mode where it will look for existing folders that already contain images.

3) the selected track can be anything else you select (click) in your playlist. consider this screenshot.



with the playlist, you can see the playing icon is next the to the Björk track but selected track is by CHVRCHES. if the panel was configured to prefer now playing, i'd see a picture of Björk but i have it configured to follow selected track.

2) for number 2 question i actually meant more than 5.
how complicated is it to change the script to have number more than 5 by myself? both on the graphical option and to appear to be more than 5?

1) for number 1...
a. at the moment i drag and drop around 20 albums on my experimental playlist.
b. my automatic download is set on "library track only" option
c. my media library music folders path are set to monitored  my main music folder (the MUSIC folder there on the SS) (it contains around 100 something albums)



my question is regarding thumbs artist art last fm download activity...

1) say i have 2 playlists. the default (usually all my music, but at the moment i left it empty). and the experimental playlist with 20 albums above.

Question a) when the automatic download is set on library track only option while exp. playlist songs are playing, does it snatch artist arts only on those 20 albums, or all my 100 something albums due to my main music folder being monitored?
(does it matter that the default playlist are empty, and not all 100+ albums are being loaded into foobar?


Question b) regardless of A answer, when does the snatch continue going on? only when foobar is actively playing songs, or also when foobar is not playing songs but active (say, minimized), or does it works in the background process even when foobar isn't active?

that's probably all...

oh my internet speed is pathetic around 1 to 1.5Mbps so that's why i ask.


cheers....

the automatic download only works on 2 conditions:

when you start playing a new track AND there are no images saved for that playing artist.

it does not look at your library or playlists to do anything in the background.

sweet! this is a really amazing script (i meant the work for getting the thumbs alone to work flawlessly)

the scrolling up and down with mouse. the options to switch pictures every couple seconds, the works. beautiful.

last question would be regarding relocation of saved files. is it possible to change the artists => artists name folder to be moved to say a different disk

my local SSD is only 120gb so it get full pretty quick...

what kinds of adjustments in codes / paths do i need to make to change the path from roaming = foobar2000 = wsh_data to say, my D hard drive...


(or is it just easier to scrap everything and install foobar on my D hard drive and not in C program files...?)

will that messed with your scripts and other plugins (like foo uie lyrics3)...

I just started using your lastfm/wiki script for bios. Is there a way to manually refresh the info? I have just updated some bios on last.fm and can't seem to get them to download again.
