foo_title, new version for 0.9

Thank you Quiark, this component is very useful and you're doing a great job with it.

Figuring out which actions are able to be assigned to buttons is difficult. Your web page says ''It can be any command from the main menu, like Play.'' Should that mean that all commands found here should be available? I know (or it seems) that not all of them are able to be used right now, but I'm wondering if that's just because your component needs to catch up with recent foobar updates? Will the usable actions/commands be expanded, perhaps to include all of the above mentioned list of menu items (/or command line switches)? Lastly, is there an easy way to list all the actions which are usable, or is trial-and-error the only way?

Thanks!


foo_title is simply using foobar2000's component API to call menu commands, so any command registered with foobar2000 (so even commands of other components) can be called. So that means that all commands that can be found in the main menu (not the context menu) can be used. The list you posted seems to be out of date. There's currently no way to list them using foo_title, but I believe that it's not necessary - they are already listed in the main menu. You should copy the name of the command exactly (for example, 'Sort by ...' works fine for me).

I have been considering expanding the list of actions, probably by extending the syntax, but I don't have much time to do it now.

This is weird. I was having trouble getting ''Play or pause'' to function, but now it's working. I'm sure I had typed it correctly... but oh well I probably messed up some other way. Sorry to have bothered you over nothing. Thanks again for your work on this excellent component!

Would it be possible to add the ability to draw rectangles of dynamic size, like with track_info_mod, to this plugin? For framing text, or making progress bars and such.

For some reason, I cannot figure out the syntax for adding different possible filenames for cover-art in the "Album art filenames" box. When I have just one thing in there ("frontcover") it recognizes it. But when I add more ("frontcover front folder") it doesn't work. Do I separate with commas? Commas and a space?

Weird that I find this so confusing.

It should be separated with ;

Unfortunately it doesn't not work on my maschine. I get the error message: "Failed to load DLL: foo_managedWrapper.dll Reason: Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil die Anwenungskonfiguration nicht korrekt ist. Zur Problembehebung sollten Sie die Anwendung neu installieren.  "

Impossible due to a bug in font smoothing rendering in windows  It can't properly handle smooth fonts and transparent layered windows. I have already been thinking about it, but found no solution.

is the plugin supposed to lock the image file even when its not showing? if i want to update the albumart, i have to close down foobar, since the image is locked and can't be unlocked with unlocker.

i can understand if its the image showing but..
and the foo_uie_albumart plugin is able to show it without locking it.
Nothing is so good that somebody, somewhere, will not hate it.

This is pretty neat. I'm wondering if the skinning could be more robust a la Xion?
http://xion.r2.com.au/index.php?page=home
It's pretty new, but the way the skins operate seems very interesting. From Wincustomize:
"A new skinnable media player arrived on the scene in August, say hello to Xion. This is a very capable little player, but by far the most interesting thing about it is it's skinning format. To skin this player you simply create the interface in Photoshop, making sure all the different elements are on individual layers, (which many of us do anyway) and then you give the layers specific names and just dump the .PSD file in the skins folder of the player...... That's it!!!! The software does the rest and converts your layered .PSD into a skin.

This is surely a step forward for ease of skinning. No code to write, no XML to battle through, NO SLICING UP OF IMAGES!"

That aside, the skins look flashy or simple, and above all, are lightweight. Could foo_title do the same?

Yep, that seems to be cool  However, I'm not implementing it now  However, foo-title is now open source, so anyone interested...

First of all great plugin, I have a problem with it while trying to use it with windows vista RC1.  It prevents foobar2000 from playing songs while I have the foo_managedWrapper.dll in my components folder.  Has anyone else have had the same issue??  With windows xp it works perfect but im trying windows vista, and i was wondering if there was a way to fix this??

That's weird.. I have Vista RC1 installed as well, so once I get through all the other requests..

Like C:\SOME OTHER FOLDER\%artist%.jpg

Try C:\SOME OTHER FOLDER\%artist% in album art settings (in foo_title's preferences page)
