+ fixed centering/resizing bug
+ option to span group display over one or more rows
+ !noheader! to suppress header
+ readded updating every second
+ selectable playlist
+ columns ui globals (untested..)
+ _itemcount _itemindex


Thank you terrestrial for another impressive update, I'd like to especially thank you for the %_itemcount% and %_itemindex%. Lots of new toys to play with in this one

Edit: That first one means all the ugly lines are gone from images resized with different aspect ratios.. yay!
Edit: Image files are no longer locked, so you can update album art without closing foobar.. yay!

The problem is that %_itemcount% and %_itemindex% dont really come into play until after the items are grouped (think about it, this actually makes sense). However you need to specify !noheader! in the group by box, which is processed before the items are grouped (in fact this determines what is in the group).

You can't really use %_itemcount% and %_itemindex% in the "Group By" Field and what little experimentation I have done has shown these variables wont work this way.

Maybe !noheader! would work better from the "Group Display" field.

So what should I try? I still want the grouplisting to be displayed.

I've got another question.
I have the Group by set to %album%%discnumber%, but for multiple discs albums from an artist, i get the albums displayed in this order:

Album 1 Disc 1
Album 2 Disc 1
Album 1 Disc 2
Album 2 Disc 2

I can't seem to get it to work in a more natural Album > all discs of the album > next album > all discs of the album.

Any help would be appreciated.

whr:
The Group by field only determines how the items are grouped together, it does not change the order in which the groups are displayed. For that you need to modify your playlist sort code.

File> Preferences> General> "Sort Incoming files by:"
-or-
Edit> Sort> "Sort by..."

make sure the %discnumber% appears AFTER the %album% in your sort string.

Oh, that did it. I had the %discnumber% before %album% in the sort string ><

Thanks!

I just started using this wonderful plugin and i am fascinated about all the possibilities. I would like to make a request that could take this component one step further:

I thought about implementing the opportunity to create and use sort strings for your playlist: That could be something foo_custom_sort for foobar 0.83. But that is not the whole idea: Every sort string could be associated with a certain "group by" string.  So everytime you use a sorting your grouping (and why not the item display too?) also changes.

What do you think?

I totally agree with this concept.  The only functional limitation that I see with this component is the inability to change the group heading and corresponding sorting of the playlist dynamically.  What would be great is if the user could select that the playlist be sorted by any particular metadata field and that the group heading be modified accordingly for particular sort selected.  Also, the ability to bind sort options to buttons would be a great feature.  As such, you could have a series of buttons to sort the playlist by artist, album, last played, play count, etc. and when selecting the appropriate button the playlist re-sorts accordingly and modifies the group heading with the metadata field for the selected sort.  Right now, those of us who like to sort playlists based upon varying selectable metadata must use the Columns UI or default playlists to do so.  With these features, this component can do the job.

maybe ive found a bug but not sure:

there is imho some bug with resizeing images in new version of single column.
this works for me in most cases (strange beacuse it should not afaik):
Code: [Select]
$imageabs2(,,0,0,46,46,295,1,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)

this doesnt. some images just disappeared:
Code: [Select]
$imageabs2(46,46,0,0,46,46,295,1,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)


maybe it isnt bug maybe there is something wrong with my imgaes i dont no  cause with resize some work but some doesnt and it looks like there is no kye in which does and which not and they did work in previous release.

Is there a way to get the length of an item in hh:mm:ss format?

If not, I request an %_itemlength%

also, I'm having the same problem as cartman(2vd)

By default the group header appears to inherit most of the properties of the first item in the group. It would be nice if commonly used variables were replaced with more group-related equivilants. Such as %length% reflecting the sum total of all items in the group.  I also noticed that %list_index% gets duped from the first item in the list.. it would be nice if it incremented like any other row.

I previously requested group "siders." Nobody seemed to respond to this idea, and Im guessing it wouldnt be possible unless you created a list control completely from scratch anyway. Instead, would it be possible to let us have group header code that overlaps the tracks under it (instead of getting cut off if there isnt enough vertical space)? I'm mainly just trying to find a good way to put album art next to the tracks in a group without having to divide it between tracks, which doesnt work well when you are missing tracks in a group or don't have perfect tags.

Also, would it be possible to make the index of a group available to be used in item display code. For example, instead of using tracknumbers to split up albumart, you could use the offset from the group index number.

alphaex32: If you position your art "slices" based on the newly added %_itemindex% instead of %tracknumber% you will solve the problem of missing tracks or tracks with no tag.

Just updated and its great 

But now my playlist is messed up at the bottom. The last song shouldnt be there, when u click on it foobar just crashes 

any idea on how to fix this?


I have this problem too.
I found that resizing the playlist removes the double effect to the last song and therefore wont crash on ya but I do find at times on a restart that my header is cut half way.

The only way I can think of fixing it is to look into the source code, and looking at the function/subroutine that returns the size of measured rows in the listview. This bug was most likely brought on by group row spanning.

Looks like this is going to be a great component, too !! (better say it IS ... but beta  )
Unfortunatly it cant replace the conventional Playlistview for me, yet. -Since I often use it for editing single Meta-Fields.

Is such a function going to be implented ??
(you know: doubleclickin in a Column, and editing the Artist-Tag, for example.)

Or is it allready implemented, and I didnt recognize ??

.THNX.

research report:
ok i did some more testing on this and it surely looks like there is some problem with handling images (maybe in "+ fixed centering/resizing bug" or new "gdi release images" feature). When i restarted my foobar this noon this code
Code: [Select]
$imageabs2(,,0,0,46,46,295,1,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)

did just as it is meant to = did no resize (strange because yesterday it did but without foobar restart!)

so new research progress is. If you change something in code with imageabs2 and click apply some images disappear but after you restart foobar some of then appear and acts like they should. To speak the truth after restart almost every image works (but still not all of them:()

does anybode else encountering this behavior?

Quick question - what's the best way to do alternating backgrounds?

The resizing aspect of imageabs2 seems kinda unreliable and buggy.  I can't really get it to act how I expect at all when I'm taking slices from images for album art, unless there is something I'm completely not understanding.
