Doesn't work

I'm waiting for mazy to get back to me as to how he did his complex layouts without destroying the CPU :/

I'm using a modified version of Mazy's code but I can't get the text to truncate (re: show ellipses) when the window is too narrow for the album title or song title.

Concerning the images-can't-be-on-other-physical-drive thing, I think I've found a workaround using a feature available to NTFS filesystems : the junction (same thing as a hard link on *nix). All my music is at D:\public\music\<artist>\<year><album> and my foobar is at c:\program files\foobar2000, and each cover is in the album's directory. So I junction "d:\public\music" to "c:\program files\foobar2000\music" using SysInternal's freeware junction.exe, and Foobar can access the d:\public\music, thinking it's in its own directory on C:. That's quite a geeky tweak, but it works a treat! No need to copy all album art to C: when my music is on D:, after all.

$puts(groupcolor,30-69-197)
$puts(profile,c:\profils\rheuh\application data\foobar2000\)
$puts(groupgradient,intf\groupbg.png)
$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-$get(groupcolor) pencolor-null)
$imageabs2(%_width%,64,,,,,,,$get(profile)$get(groupgradient),)

$puts(art.cover,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,front.jpg))
$puts(art.frame,intf\frontframe.png)
$puts(art.nocover,intf\nocover.png)
$imageabs(12,9,$get(art.nocover),)
$imageabs2(64,64,,,,,12,9,$get(art.cover),)
$imageabs(8,8,$get(art.frame),)

AFAIK uie_single_column does not truncate text with dots at the end. You can only make it cut the text using alignabs.

(I am working on a routine that will truncate the text and add dots.)

Is anyone else experiencing this bug? When I use quicksearch, the results look like this:

As soon as I switch playlists and then switch back, it looks fine, though.

when singlecolumnplaylist changes tracks it simply scrolls the playlist until the newly playing track is visible, usually resulting in that track appearing at the top or bottom depending on wich direction it needed to scroll. If you prefer the track to appear more centered like in the default playlist or columnsui playlist I would suggest you stop by the foo_uie_single_column_playlist thread and making a feature request.

Hi. How do I add a function to the playlist which checks if the folder which contains the songs in current album starts with VA - so it would change the %artist% to Various Artists ?

Cool, I'll try using alignabs and I eagerly awaite your ellipses code routine.

EDIT: the wiki doesn't explain how to use alignabs (the only mention of it is in Mazy's example code).  Any pointers?

$iflonger(%title%,55,$cut(%title%,50)'...',%title%)

$if($stricmp($substr($directory(%path%,1),0,9),%date%' - VA'),'Various Artists', %artist%)
