No, it's not currently possible to make group headers conditional in NG Playlists.

But it would be a wonderful feature

I need some help on NG playlist view.
Its just a minor thing.I use following script for grouping the playlist, So in my playlist view, Songs appear under artist name and album with year. Like those three as the Header of playlist. I would like to add genre or some other tags to that heading. But i don't want to sort or group the playlist with that tag. What can i do?  Is there any script to print tag and where should i use.

$if2(%album artist%,)[ / %album%][ '('%date%')']
$if2(Disc %disc%,$tab())

Thanks...! 


I need a suggestion on one more thing,

http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xm_BG...feat=directlink
Hope the above image loads, i'm not used to loading image to a site. Suggest me site to upload photos, so that i can use that everyone uses in the future.
If u can see the image, u can see  the selected item on the playlist is seen as a 5 star rated, actually its not a rated one, its same as all other. But when i select it, the color is inverted, can i make this not happen on that column.?

Forgive my language, i'm an outsider.

Ok, my foobar went kaput (something to do with a corrupted theme), and I took the opportunity to update foobar and the few components I had installed.

Now then, I didn't think of backing up, so shoot me if you want.

The problem I have now is, the music in playlist view is no longer grouped by artist, with an album cover for that artist (chosen by whatever album is at the 'top' of the group). I had configured this setup so long ago, that I cannot remember how to get it back.

In Preferences > CUI > Playlist View, I have 'Display Artwork in Groups' checked, as well as 'Show Groups' on Grouping. I have one group script, and that is %artist%. However no artwork is still showing.

To make matters worse, every instance of folder.jpg seems to be hidden in my music folders, even though I have the OS to show hidden files and folders. If I try to rename another picture 'folder.jpg', the OS will state that folder.jpg already exists.

In short, a few problems, but hopefully you guys can help me.

EDIT: What the! I decided to play around with the Groupings again, and deleted %artist%, and then re-added it, and everything is back as it was! However, I am still having the problem with the phantom folder.jpg in every folder

In Folder Options un-check "Hide protected operating system Files".

Anyone has an idea how could I use the Typefind panel without manually activating it? Let me explain. Right now I use a shortcut "J" to activate it and I have to press it when I'm searching for an item in a playlist. It would be nice to use this like when a playlist is active and I start typing anything it would go to the Typefind panel's search field. Is there a way to do this? I tried to use an "empty" shortcut with the Typefind activation command but it's not working. :'(

Musicmusic,

Could you make different column sets for the "Mixed" playlist view and NG Playlist?
Just like DUI, where every playlist view instance can have different column sets.

Quick question: Foobar's default user interface shows the codec column with what level a vbr mp3 is encoded ex. MP3 V0
How can I put that in the status bar of my columns ui?

Columns UI

Reply #6135 –
Preferences --> Columns UI/Status bar tab
Add this to the "Title format script":
%codec%[ %codec_profile%]

Hello

Is there a possibility to set alternate grouping (NG list) with a button? So that pushing in button enables it, and pushing out restores previous grouping?

Console Panel 0.4 Problem

Sending 50000 characters to Console Panel with WSH Panel mod's fb.trace(""); causes CPU consumption of 50% on playback start/stop. foobar2000 is unresponsive for several seconds. foobar2000 restart: normal CPU consumption.
Only CUI problem, not DUI.

Need some help!

I just upgraded to Foobar 1.1 and have encountered some problems formatting my playlists.

For some reason, apart from title, artist, album and lenght, all other tags have filled to display.

Here are is a screencap :

As you can see the genre format of the album is present as shown on the Item Details panel on the right. They are also present in the Properties dialog box. But somehow the genre tag won't display within the playlist itself. I have also capped the Playlist View dialog box - the setting are the same as I had in previous versions which worked fine. I am baffled.

Also, in older versions, I could easily re-organize the items in the playlist context menu by simple drag and drop. This doesn't seem to be the case now for v1.1 - so can I still rearrange the context menu items? I would like some items in subfolders to be right on the first layer of the context menu.

Can someone help? Thanks!

Jubei,

both scripts %genre% and $meta(Genre) are working here with foobar2000 1.1 and Columns UI v0.3.8.7

This is no longer possible (since version 1.0 if I remember correctly).

Thanks. $meta(Genre) worked fine. Now problem is to get last played and rating to display ... figured that might be related more to Playback Statistics than Columns UI though.

Regarding context menu re-organization => so one can't re-arrange things now?

musicmusic,

I am no programmer, so I don't know whether this should be considered to be a bug, but if a comment field contains TABs the Item properties panel displays a strange text overlay:

I've two questions, the first one regarding (assumingly) the Globals tab under Columns UI > Playlist view.



Is this mishap an acknowledged bug? (i.e. items get the same background color consecutively)

I have not touched the Globals tab at all, but this problem's been there for almost a year now. It happens randomly when sorting or adding stuff to a playlist. Browsing down and then back or changing between playlists fixes the problem. I assume Columns crafted this code snippet by itself when it was installed:

Code: [Select]
$if(%_themed%,,$if($and(%isplaying%,$not(%_is_group%)),

$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),ff0000,20),25))
,

$ifequal($mod($if2(%_display_index%,%list_index%),2),0,
$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_back%),12))
$puts(back-selected,%_selected_back%)
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,%_selected_back_no_focus%)
,
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),7))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),7))
$puts(back,%_back%)
)

)
$set_style(back,$get(back),$get(back-selected),$get(back-selected-no-focus)))


My second question has to do with the artwork source title formatting. Does it follow the regular $if, etc. expressions? I actually tried a string in the vein of $if(back,folder,*) and it did work somehow, but very randomly and without any clear logic.

Two more questions..

Is it possible to disable typefinding somehow? My PC jams for a little while on a big playlist if I accidentally hit a key on my keyboard, and it's kind of annoying.

Plus, can you force force color override on a selected item? If I set an $rgb on any column on the NG playlist and that color differs from the default color, it's inverted. I'd prefer if it stayed black (like I've set it to stay) regardless of what color I pick for a particular column.

Hey guys! I have a little problem on customising Columns UI.

Is it possible to change the colour of the dash line in the item properties windows? I just don't know how to change it in the options.

Bug report:
I discovered it when I upgraded to foobar 1.1.  I tried with foo_ui_columns 0.3.8.6 or 0.3.8.7.

Here is the layout I had before:



Now, because foo_uie_quicksearch changed its name to foo_quicksearch, I had to replace the <unknown> element.
However, this crashes foobar.

I discovered that even if I try to rebuild my layout, from scratch in a new profile, foobar will still crash when I create the last Horizontal splitter with filters.

Could you please consider this bug and add a fix?  Thanks
