foo_title, new version for 0.9

Reply #200
No, .NET Fw 2.0 is a part of 3.0, so this is not the problem. Currently, I don't have Vista installed and I study and have a job, so you can imagine how much time I have for fixing it :/

Any programmer here ?

Hello - any chance to have a fix one of these days for the "show only when foobar is minimized" ?

Understand that foo_title is not your primary job.... anyway some suggestions just in case

suggestion : handle double click on foo_title and let us chose what to do.
I'd like to have foobar maximise when I doubble click on foo_title.

suggestion 2 : fade in / out timer. Instead of a single timing, would be great to have a timing for each. I'd like to have an almost immediate reaction on mouse over, but see it smoothly fade out when I move mouse elsewhere.

Great work - I love it.

I do still plan to work on this project... had it almost building a few months back.  However, I plan run Vista when hell freezes over, so I can't help out there.  If anyone interested in fixing the Vista issues just needs help checking out the files, I have done that and I can lend a hand, but you'll have to do the hard work yourself.  Quiark, sorry for not having contributed yet, but we just had our first son... busy times!

would it be possible to use the old skins from the previous version of foo_title?

This is an nice plugin for foobar 0.9, but it doesn't work at all with Vista Premium and that's bad.

The DirectSoundCreate(...) issue is what makes this plugin not to work with Vista.

Hello Quiark,

any chance you take a look at the issue with "show foo_title only when foobar is minimized" ?
does not work on XP with version 0.7

also, is it possible to display a button (or image) based on titleformat scripting ?
something like :
<normalImg src=$if(%isplaying%, "pause.png","play.png")/>
I coul'nt make it work
the goal is to have a single button toggle for play/pause.
Would be also useful to display appropriate button for mute, or to play an "animation" image only when playing.

The plugin loads, but then I get no sound on my foobar.
I get this error on my console

[01:27:44] DirectSoundCreate failed : 80010106



I have exactly the same issue. Anybody? (I am using updated drivers and window Vista)

Yeah, it is not compatible with WIndows Vista, that is the problem!
Would be very nice if someone could fix this!

You could run a 30 day test version of Windows Vista as a virtual machine to test it.
Would be very nice!

Just noticed an issue with the update to 0.9.5... they added Random playback order back, and now I can't make a foo_title button that does just Playback/Random (which I find helpful in Shuffle(albums) mode; it goes to the next album).  Playback/Random is the menu command for that, as opposed to Playback/Order/Random.  My button did have an action of "Random", but I think for ambiguities, the first menu option name that matches wins, and Playback/Order comes before Playback/Random.  However, Playback/Random doesn't do anything.  Is there a different format I should use instead?

I need to check out the latest code (I know, ~6 mo. old already... my first child is almost 5 mo. old, though... I'm busy!), maybe it would be obvious how to fix it?

I can't get it to work with the /command:<name> commandline switch either.

It's all done in CManagedWrapper::DoMainMenuCommand (ManagedWrapper.cpp) which calls mainmenu_commands::g_find_by_name (mainmenu.cpp) from the SDK. This function looks like this
Code: [Select]
bool mainmenu_commands::g_find_by_name(const char * p_name,GUID & p_guid) {
    service_enum_t<mainmenu_commands> e;
    service_ptr_t<mainmenu_commands> ptr;
    pfc::string8_fastalloc temp;
    while(e.next(ptr)) {
        const t_uint32 count = ptr->get_command_count();
        for(t_uint32 n=0;n<count;n++) {
            ptr->get_name(n,temp);
            if (stricmp_utf8(temp,p_name) == 0) {
                p_guid = ptr->get_command(n);
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;

}


so it seems it picks the first menu command that matches. It would be nice if the commands could be entered using Menu/Submenu/Command syntax, but that would break compatibility with existing skins.

I wonderd whether the possibility is an progress that it is able to switch from "Allways on top" to "Pin to desktop" so other windows will overlay foo_title...
this would be really great for desktop skinning!

//edit:
Is there the possibility to display more than the "folder" artwork?

I have some Covers named: folder.jpg most of them are called
rise_against_-_the_sufferes_and_the_witness_a.jpg or
rise_against_-_the_sufferes_and_the_witness_front.jpg

is there a way to have variables like "*front, *a, folder"
and is there a seperator like","?

Pin to desktop is already there, only it's called z-order and it's in the preferences of foo_title.

The album art layer can display only one image.

Are you working on a Vista compatible version?
You could test it with a virtual machine and a trial version of Windows Vista...

I'm not currently doing anything about the Vista problem. No time.

It's a pity.
Would be so easy to test with no money and a short amount of time...

I don't think it's the testing, per se, that is time consuming.  In fact, you all say it doesn't work well with Vista... great, testing done!  It's determining what is wrong that is time consuming.  Say, you probably have Vista... now just get a trial version of Visual Studio and debug the code (which is freely available)!  I use foo_title every day and even have Visual Studio installed... if I was forced to use Vista, I may have done the debugging already... but I don't plan on using Vista and I don't have time to look into something that doesn't affect me.

If you feel that debugging problems introduced by a new version of Windows is easy, you should know how to fix this.

I have a feeling that it will be a rather tough issue - when I had Vista RC1 installed, it ran fine for me. It will be something related to the fact that I combine purely C++ foobar and C++/CLI and COM in foo_managedWrapper.dll in a rather strange way.

Great component, no more bringing up Foobar after a song change to find out what song is playing. Thanks.

I found a few bug though, I think. All related to streams. I have foo_title set to only show for a few seconds after a song change. However, when the song/title of a Stream changes, it doesn't show. Of course because it's still the same stream, but it would be nice if it'd show on a stream title change as well. Secondly, if I turn 'Show before song ends' on and play a stream, it'll display continuously, probably because a stream doesn't have a length. Is there anything you could do about this behaviour?

Also, it would be great if I'd be able to dock it on the right side and have it expand to the left if a songtitle is too long.

Yes, it could be certainly fixed somehow, but just as the vista bug, I'm afraid I wont' be able to get to it in the near future.
