foxhawk:
Can you be more specific about what you mean by "grey resizing grips"? Maybe a picture? If you are referring to the separator lines added by ColumnsUI between each panel then this is a known issue and we hope it's corrected in future versions of ColumnsUI. The best you can do is try to mask it by choosing similar colors in your panels or windows visual style.

If you are referring to something specific to this component please provide more detail.

Which is not the desired result. Perheps this component does not fit with those who like hybrid playlists

All my tracks, Regardless of their nature, Are tagged to allow such a check be made. All single tracks have the aforementioned TOTALTRACKS=1 tag, While all other albums have a correct TOTALTRACKS tag for their size.

Your point still remains invalid, mquander.

I should have a white text color when the text is selected but the $textcolor and $font(,,,color) don't change the color, i don't know why.

I never said it should mquander, But that is NOT the case here. I have songs SPECIFICALLY tagged as singles, and songs SPECIFICALLY tagged as albums. If I'll pick a random album song and move it to somewhere else, I don't expect it to become a single. If i move a single into a playlist which has the same album as he does, I don't expect that single to become part of the album either. All I'm asking for is a hybrid playlist. Singles get no headers, Album do get headers. Thats all there's too it. Nothing impossible, I assure you.

that's because you've left the colour code until after the text has already been written.....  the code is executed line by line as it's written.

omit that last line and change your code that writes the title to this...

$if(%_selected%,$font(,,,255-255-255),$font(,,,108-120-135))%title%

Code: [Select]

This assumes your albums are properly tagged with %totaltracks%.

Do we want to know?

marc2003: Odd. So there's no reason for the "group by" section at all? I think I'm misunderstanding something here.

that doesnt work

for example. if i have an album with 12 tracks and i put just song #1 in my playlist, it'll still show

Can you make it so one doesn't? GDI+ lags my games

Is there any way I can wrap or ellipsize text in a rectangle? I am having overwriting problems with long title songs...

Since one of the main attractions of this component appears to be displaying album art, and because loading and resizing the images as the playlist is scrolled is slow and a strain on the disc drive, I think it might be a good idea to implement caching of resized images, in the same way as explorer does with Thumbs.db. 'cached' could be an option for the $image* functions, and when this parameter is specified, the first time the function is run for that file, the image will be loaded, resized and saved in an 'image database' file. Subsequent accesses would read the cached data from the database. The modification date of the image could be stored to detect when the image needs to be re-loaded (if it has been changed/deleted).
Of course if someone decides to change from 150x150 display of images to 160x160 the database would no longer be of any use, for this situation there could be a 'Clear database' button on the settings page.

Keep up the good work, thanks for this wonderful component.

Excellent idea, david_dl.

As a fellow programmer, here are some of my thoughts...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the playlist is an owner-drawn ListView common control? Whether it is or not, wouldn't a custom control be more efficient? So that you can draw the whole album art image in one step, and everything could be more customizable, such as different row heights and other things. The whole playlist viewport could respond to events, and only repaint when and where needed. The display language could be improved upon to be easier to read and write as well. Something resembling XML would be cool, and could be stored in files to be imported/exported.

Obviously that would be a lot of work, but it would make FB2k the best audio player ever if the whole UI could be done like this.

Regardless, this is incredible work, Terrestrial!
