The click region is only limited to the playlist name. An option to have single click to display would be good as well ...

i would really like to see the ability to assign different colours to different folders

need the ability to double-click on a playlist and have it not just load but also start playing

i'm also noticing issues with the text turning white when selected, which is frustrating

I am happy to release a new component that let you organize your playlists in a treeview control.

• In CUI's toolbar context menu Playlist Organizer appears twice in the subcategory 'Panel'.
• I can not complete the creation of a new folder in the expected manner: I choose from foobar's main menu View, Playlist Organizer, then with a right-click on it "Create new folder", type a name but this procedure I cannot complete because the plugin does not react to pressing 'enter'. With 'escape' the Playlist Organizer is closed. However if I recall it, the newly created folder is existing. I deleted all keyboard shortcuts in foobar including the default ones, but this does not change this behaviour.

this procedure I cannot complete because the plugin does not react to pressing 'enter'

• Link to this page from the preferences page (Help button)
• Fixed bug in managing (Enter/Delete) keys for label editing
• Make the matching (at startup) of tree content vs. actual playlists more intelligent (usefull for utilization of the popup window)
• Fixed panel appearing twice in column UI layout

-------------------------
| Playlist
-------------------------
If you double click he empty region after the playlist name the playlist doesn't get activated even though it is selected

...
- the item count of the library viewer selection playlist doesn't seem to be updating when browsing the library

looking forward to "double-click = activate & play"

• When using the custom background highlight color option, even without making any color change the highlighted text becomes black, using reset fix/restores the original color.
• After clicking, if there is a playlist in the first level/in no folder, the highlighted area goes beyond the "name rectangle".
  F2K 1.0.3

foo_plorg is supposed to mimic the standard colors behaviour (just like other components) unless there is a bug.

controls (nodes) doesn't follow system (vista/7) style

a few people have mentioned the component does not use the new TreeView from Vista/7. I'm guessing based on your quote and that it is not on your to-do list, the style of TreeView is intentional and not going to change. Yes/no?

An idea I'll throw into the mix is being able to access the Control context menu when right-clicking a folder.

Whenever I right-click somewhere in the Playlist Organizer area, then click somewhere else in Foobar (Left or right clicking doesn't matter), I get a CUI context menu:
Has anyone else experienced this?

Can it be developed to have the same functionality as playlist_tree_mod?

Renaming a playlist with modifiers (like shift or alt) does not work if the combination of modifier+key is set as a shortcut (works in the original playlist manager)

I'm not sure I understand  the point. Why do you need modifiers to rename a playlist? Can you explain?

BTW: thanx for 0.4 , "Activate on single click" is much more intuitive from my point of view

Foobars playlist manager and every other part of foobar disables keyboard-shortcuts in renaming-mode, so the problem didn't occur before.

You can see the problem in action here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpyU5OtHWUs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpyU5OtHWUs)

Example:
Renaming to "playlist" works, while renaming to "Playlist" won't work if [SHIFT]+[P] is set as a keyboard-shortcut in the foobar preferences.

...
What I meant above whether this would be intended  ....

Well .... if you place the panel on toolbar, that's what happens.

This bug is now fixed in Version 0.5 (http://thx538.free.fr/Foobar/V1.0/Plorg/foo_plorg.zip)
This is now fixed as well in V0.5

And the Win7/Vista tree view does not have a dotted line with it

The color of preferences window isn't the same as the rest

Even upon activation the playlist doesn't get selected ...

but the themed mode on windows 7 is still not working i.e. skinned selection frame
Also just a suggestion wouldn't it be better to move all preferences to the preferences page instead of the context menu?

Why does the foo_plorg panel flicker twice really fast each time a playlist is selected? It seems to happen only sometimes when "Activate on single click" is disabled, but every time when it is enabled.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks for the updates. Just wondering if this red-dotted line is intentional.

Why does the foo_plorg panel flicker twice really fast each time a playlist is selected? It seems to happen only sometimes when "Activate on single click" is disabled, but every time when it is enabled.

...
- 1: When You select a folder or a playlist, the "F2" shortcut to edit It isn't working (accessibility issues)
- 2: Imagine that I have a lot of playlists (It makes sense in a playlists based player), and I have a lot of folders.
---- 2.1: If I change from Columns UI to Default UI. Result, I've lost all the folders and the playlists order (unless I return to Columns UI). That is an undesirable behavior.
---- 2.2: If I accidentaly delete the element, again, the data will be gone, lost.

What I suggest You, is to not store the folder data in the element configuration. Store It in the plugin configuration, another file or folder.
Maybe You can store the folder's names in the plugin configuration, and store folder's ID in playlist as a property using the playlist properties API

The flickering is now eliminated, at least on XP, both during selection and when resizing the panel. Thanks to someone with Vista or Seven to confirm.

Thanks for this useful plugin. Please help me see, I cannot find where to change its font...

I have encountered another bug
Using CUI+PLORG+Filters. I have it set up so that there is a folder named 'Library' with 'Filter Results' and 'Filter Results (Playback)' playlist.
Using these steps
Start fb2k > Select another artist in filters other than the one selected right now and double click to play > select a different artist in filters
makes the 'Filter Results' playlist popout of the folder and to the bottom of the PLORG tree

Hi, and sorry if this has been answered before, but is it possible to display the length of playlists (as in x days, y hours etc.) with this component somehow?

...
Using these steps
Start fb2k > Select another artist in filters other than the one selected right now and double click to play > select a different artist in filters
makes the 'Filter Results' playlist popout of the folder and to the bottom of the PLORG tree

when selecting an item it seems that a border is drawn first and then the selection background color is changed which should be instantaneous... just like in playlist modules

One tiny feature request: When dropping files from one playlist to another it automatically selects the playlist which the files have been droped in to,
if possible could the selection stay with the source playlist?

It seems that everytime I close and start foobar, my playlists suddenly move from their respective folders to folder called "new" (not created by me). Have I missed some option about saving configuration or is this a bug?

To be exact, I have folders called "genre" and "rating", in addition to "default", but my playlists keep jumping around. Might this be because I have last.fm radio on one playlist, which (I think) creates itself from scratch when starting foobar?

I have the newest version of foo_plorg.

A "New" folder is created only if playlists are found that were not in the tree the last time you closed the panel. It should not happen if you keep the panel permanently (even with last.fm radio).

Do you have any message in the console?

I see ... try to remove the panel from your configuration while foobar is still active (Layout editing mode if you are using CUI). Then close foobar , restart and re add  the panel and see if the problem persists. Watch for messages in the console at each step.

Bug: When I delete a playlist and restore it again (excellent feature BTW), it isn't restored to its original folder and position, but at the end of all playlists and folders.

Suggestion: It would be nice if playlists could be shown in the tree without being active in Foobar. I have some very large playlists that I don't listen to very often, and they take up a lot of memory when they're active.
To clarify this, a web browser is a good analogy: I have a lot of bookmarks but only a few open tabs in my browser. If I want to view a page, I click the bookmark and the page opens in a new tab. In the Playlist Organizer every bookmark equals a tab and vice versa. Or am I missing something?

Your suggestion does not make much sense as playlists need to be stored somewhere

I might be doing something wrong, but keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-P, Ctrl-F, etc.) don't seem to work when foo_plorg has focus: is this intended?

Does that mean anything serious?

btw, is it part of your roadmap to display the categories (at least at level #0) as tabs?

I am happy to release a new component that let you organize your playlists in a treeview control.

With foo_playlist_organizer (aka foo_plorg), you will be able to create folders and hierarchies to arrange and categorize your playlists. All current functions are available by drag & drop or right click on items in the panel.
It can be downloaded here (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_plorg) and is compatible with both DUI and CUI.
Please check this page (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Playlist_Organizer_%28foo_plorg%29) for help and additional information.

Is it possible to display the total length of a playlist (as with playlist-switcher component)?

another feature-request: Could folders be displayed in another textcolor as playlists?

• Select/start playback of a playlist from a later point (double-clicking the track that might start?).
• Reorder tracks in a playlist without switching the playlist viewer.
• Add tracks from the album list to a point of a playlist.

I found a small bug with autoplaylists:

When I generate an autoplaylist by using the Media Library Search, the playlist in the Playlist panel has the option Autoplaylist properties in the right-click menu.
But if I generate an autoplaylist by right-clicking on, for example, the name of an artist in the Album List and then selecting Create Autoplaylist, there is no option Autoplaylist properties.

1. if I delete a playlist from somewhere inside the tree, the cursor jumps to the top playlist.
it would be nice if it stay in place and just select the playlist before the deleted one.
2. if I drop a track from playlistview inside an other playlist in foo_plorg (via Strg) the cursor jumps to this playlist, but I want stay in source playlist.

I have added your requests to the todo list (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Playlist_Organizer_(foo_plorg)#To_Do). Be patient however as I have little spare time at the moment.

Is it possible to display the total length of a playlist (as with playlist-switcher component)? so for example
[-] Folder
    Playlist1 (8)........................... 1:25:12
    Playlist2 (3).............................. 17:23

Nemo7538 as well as total length  could you maybe add Size to the TODO list please as posted earlier would be useful for burning CD's and would allow me to drop playlist switcher completely for you component. 

1. if I delete a playlist from somewhere inside the tree, the cursor jumps to the top playlist.
it would be nice if it stay in place and just select the playlist before the deleted one.

Great thanks for the mod gives me what i need but not fully automated 

Would it be to much to ask if in next ver if possible you could select under options> show playlist> combinations ability to select more that one of the options available  i.e. Items & size
Anyway many thx for this

...  if possible you could select under options> show playlist> combinations ability to select more that one of the options available  i.e. Items & size

While talking about space consumption, did you notice the big padding in the panel on the left and the right side?

Do you have any plan about this (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=80705&view=findpost&p=708659) small issue?

Or this (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=80705&view=findpost&p=723009) one perhaps?

Can you provide more information?

I have already replied ... please read the thread. I may improve the name, however.
Edit: A better name will be provided in the next version.

I might be doing something wrong, but keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-P, Ctrl-F, etc.) don't seem to work when foo_plorg has focus: is this intended?

...
Thank you for changing the name - the two terms are indeed confusing. It would be nice if you could also add the Sort option to the (now-called Lock properties) dialog. Thanks!

...
I'm using DUI, and while it works great, I'm still having trouble using keyboard shortcuts (i.e. Ctrl+F) when it has focus.
I see you have fixed this issue for CUI, but I'm wondering whether you were aware that it still persists in DUI.

Working fine now; thank you and apologies for the late reply.

Another minor issue: I have some PLO folders containing playlists of radio streams and these nodes (and the root node as well) show a question mark as %children_count%. Can this be fixed?

%children_count% has been renamed to %count% - so use %count% and Bob will be your uncle ;-)

....Say for example if I press Alt, when I release the key, the focus goes back to foo_plorg. With other components (and other programs), when releasing the Alt key, the focus will remain and give access to the file menu.
It's not that big of an issue though, as I can still use Alt as a normal modifier key (i.e. Alt+F simultaneously).

...which also introduces shared selection management. Please redownload or use the built-in updater.

maybe a dumb question: what is shared selection mgmt? Thanks for info...

• If you use the "Selection Properties" UI element in default UI you will notice that it is now refreshed when the selected playlist changes in foo_plorg.
• Similarly (but more subtle), if you use foo_quicksearch and select a playlist (with one item ...)  in foo_plorg, you will notice that keyboard shortcuts mapped to "quicksearch for same ...." actions are now working, which was not the case in previous versions of foo_plorg.

The Alt Key behavior should  be fixed in the new version (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_plorg), which also introduces shared selection management. Please redownload or use the built-in updater.

However, it's still not possible to use Alt+F4 to close foobar2000 when the component has focus.

When ctrl+dragging+dropping a song from the Playlist View into a playlist in plorg, is it possible to not have the destination playlist selected? It's a pain to constantly have to select the playlist I was originally on over and over again.

It's already on the todo list

- "Rename" by context-menu works on the selected playlist/folder
- "Rename" by keyboard-shortcut only works on the active playlist

...
the playlist organizer tab will be activated, not the tab that was open before close/restart, this is not happening on CUI.
I'm using foobar 1.1.1 beta 2 and foo_plorg 1.7 at the moment.
Can you fix this behavior?
Thanks.

Not exactly :
- "Rename" by context-menu works on the playlist/folder indicated by the mouse position and then selects the playlist or folder

Not exactly :
- "Rename" by keyboard-shortcut works on the selected playlist/folder (because some playlist has to be chosen)
This is by design

After double click activated and selected playlists are equal.

Yes (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Playlist_Organizer_(foo_plorg)#Drag_.26_Drop_with_Ctrl_Key)

Columns UI/Tab stack: Warning: Playlist Organizer panel was visible on creation! This usually indicates a bug in this panel.

so make the folder itself a playlist. is that possible for future releases?

One small bug: when a playlist is too long, it gets ...'ed, and when hovering the full playlist title shows up, which is all awesome and exactly what I want :3 but when the playlist is too long and gets ...'ed, but it's because of the number on the right, then the hover behavior doesn't work.

like to make one suggesstion for improvement. it would be nice to select a folder & gettin displayed all tracks from the folders containing playlists.
so make the folder itself a playlist. is that possible for future releases?

It would be even better though - I think - if it were possible to select multiple playlists at the same time.

I've added item 4/ (%lockname%) in the todo list.
Not so sure about your other requests.
For item 3/ I would recommend that you place the relevant playlists into a folder and keep it closed.

in summation:
cant drag+drop songs into playlists

This is a very nice plugin and I have been using it for a couple months, with great success....
Until today, I used Windows system restore to resolve a completely unrelated issue. When I opened foobar2000 after the restore none of the playlists were in the folders. They are all situated in bewitched folder called 'New.
I would just sigh and start to reorganize everything, but that will simply take too much time since I have 316 playlists, of which many I have to look up into which folder I should drop them. If it takes let say 1 minute per playlist it would take me over five hours!

I looked at the configuration file with notepad, and I saw that inside there everything was still neatly ordered with the <F></F> and <P></P> tags. But it doesn't show it like that in foobar2000, and no matter how I tried it won't read in the data from the .cfg. I tried reinstalling the plugin and removing the .cfg file, let the program generate a new one and then copy paste all the playlist information from a backup. However when I do the latter all it gives me is an error stating that the cfg is corrupted.

don't want to waste those five hours drag and dropping playlists in foobar2000, EVEN I have something better to do.

System restore was the thing causing the problem, and I reverted back to a time where the playlists were perfectly fine.
and foo_jesus didn't work as foo_plorg won't load the configuration, for some reason it completely ignores it and places all the playlists in folder called 'New'.When I jumble the playlists around and put them in different folders and then shut down foobar2000, delete the config file, open up foobar2000, it still shows the jumbled around playlists.

yes, this would be fine.

However, if I assign a keyboard shortcut to that very menu item (the shortcut appears in the menu), it opens up a separate Playlist Organizer window instead, with a completely different organisation of the playlists.

Is this a bug?

Which UI are you using? At the moment DUI should activate the window (both with menu entry/keyboard shortcut) while CUI launches a new window (which I may change later), but the behavior is consistent within one UI

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce ... I have DUI as well and everything works fine here.

Edit: Do you have shift+something as the keyboard shortcut? shift will open a new window.

I'm having some trouble with plorg/facets (See this post (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=88410&view=findpost&p=765406)). Speaking with Frank he told me that foo_plorg is the component that's crashing, he'd forward you the info so that you can take a look into the issue. Have you had the chance to look into it? I find both components, facets and foo_plorg quite good ones, so I wouldn't like to have to give up on one.

Thanks for the great plugin !

I'd like to report a weird behavior : when I put 2 instances of Playlist Organizer's UI, the second uses a different tree (the flat, default one).

A picture is worth a thousand words :

Is that normal ?

It is a feature! Why would you open two instances with exactly the same treeview?

Are you too lazy to do the same work a second time?

Any progress regarding to plorg/facets compability fix yet? I'm really liking both of the plugins, just too bad they won't work together too well.

QUOTE (NEMO7538 @ May 22 2010, 20:06)
Do you have any message in the console?

Actually, it seems so. When starting foobar there is this:

Playlist Organizer: Error (Playlist [0-] unfound or name does not match) reading configuration
Playlist Organizer: Unmatched number of playlists while reading configuration
Playlist Organizer: Unfound tree configuration, trying to retrieve from last known configuration
Playlist Organizer: Reinitializing Treeview

Can you provide more information? Thanks

At any rate, the crash occurs in a following way. I'm playing music and then using facets to search and filter artists/albums/tracks. When I'm trying to add files to the playlist ("Send to selection playlist" or "Send to current playlist"), foobar immediately hangs after double-clicking/middle-clicking selection - current track keeps playing to the end but foobar is completely unresponsible to any action. So this occurs when a track is currently playing or paused; if there is no track playing, selection will be added to the playlist normally.

I didn't know which component was causing the crash at first, so I uninstalled all components until eventually finding out it was happening when both the playlist organizer and facets were installed.

Thanks .... I'll have a look and hopefully provide a fix, but please be patient. I don't have much spare time atm.

... Playlist Organizers Preferences broken in foobar2000 v1.1 beta 1?

That is now fixed in the new version.
Please use the component updater with V1.1 (or redownload form first post) and confirm. Thanks.

FYI- this console message is now back with V1.1.12 beta 6.

you should find a restore option on the context menu when you have deleted a playlist. it only exists for the current session though- you lose it when foobar is closed.

and from the main edit menu, you can undo changes made to the current playlist if you've accidentally overwritten it or deleted/added/moved items.

Is it possible that foo_plorg keeps the same folder structure across all layouts in CUI?
For example:
I have problem if I make playlist "pl1" in folder "fl1" and then switch to another layout "pl1" will appear in folder "new" and "fl1" will not exist at all in that layout.

yes, same problem here - same for DUI... IMO this is currently the only drawback of this outstanding plugin...would be really helpful for usability if folder structure would be preserved between layout switches... thanks for offering this great stuff!

This being said, it seems we have no sign of life from the plugin dev.

Really? From his profile: Last Seen: Today, 12:59

I don't think you quite understand the purpose of each function.

The Media Library is simply a folder-watcher. Its database is being constantly retrieved and listed by the different Library viewers (such as the Album list). The regular playlists are just lists of tracks that were meant to be created, modified and deleted on a regular basis and has nothing to do with your Media Library. (The only exception are Autoplaylists, which use the Media Library's database and a criteria to constantly update their hits.)

I'd suggest introducing the ALBUM LIST tag to your library instead of relying on your *.m3u playlists. It would most likely solve all your problems with VA/Compilation/Best of etc. albums.

You might have to update your Library viewer to handle the new tag, but it shouldn't be too hard. At any point, the wiki (especially the titleformatting part) and the search function on these forums should be able to answer most of your questions from here.

Thanks!

And thank you for sharing this great component, it's very useful indeed

Rock (Folder)
 - Rock (autoplaylist - Genre IS "Rock")
 - Hard (Folder)
 --- Metal (autoplaylist - Genre IS "Metal")
 --- Hard Rock (autoplaylist - Genre IS "Hard Rock")
 etc...

Not at the moment

Double clicking on a playlist does that for me (activates and plays).

Is there anything i can do about this?

No luck still. I am running foobar 1.3.1, Columns UI 0.3.8.8, and MS Visual C++ 2010, and foobar is still saying "This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for different version of foobar2000."

It is available as either a Column UI panel or an UI element for the default UI

2. Is there setting to choose colour of the dropdown arrow? Because it is only visible on hover

the foo_plorg shows first.

But when this error came up previously, like mentioned a few times on the first pages of this thread, it usually was that the " Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package" requirement that wasn't met:

I am probably misunderstanding, but does right-click > Sort in the 'docked' window not work for you?
Granted, it doesn't auto create  'New' folders like the floating version, but that is easily rectified by adding them yourself with fitting names.

Hat sich erledigt. Ich habe auf dem Zielsystem eine portable Installation von Foobar2000 angelegt, aus dem Quellsystem den Inhalt des Ordners C:\Users\MeinName\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000 in die portabel Installation übernommen und dann hatte ich, was ich wollte.


-> Copied content of C:\Users\"MyName"\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000 to foobar2000 folder of portable installation

Hm... is anyone else having undo not working in the foo_plorg window ? Or is this a known issue even ?
Just discovered this the hard way with a WIP playlist when a delete action had its focus on the playlist and not on the files inside the playlist....

I used to use a lot of quick-searches with SHIFT, it makes search in new playlist.

But my pain with such scheme is Playlist Organizer always puts new playlist to the end of root directory.
So then folder-tree of my playlists becomes extreamly long in a few weeks.

I do tidy from time to time, some searches I'm willing to return I put them to folder.

My dream is about "Autofolder" which would "catch" quick-search generated playlists by name pattern or so.
Is it hard to emplement?

Or maybe multiple playlist selection to move them as bunch?

How do I create a auto-playlist in Playlist Organizer?

Is this still how foo_plorg is supposed to work? Because it doesn't work right on my setup. For some reason it's scaling down the font set for "list items" (I assume) to like 6 point. I had a similar problem with another panel, but that one was listed as an element in the dropdown menu on the Colors and Fonts menu in Preferences (in Display->ColumnsUI->Colours and Fonts, Fonts tab), and setting it to Custom resolved the issue. But there doesn't seem to be an element listed for Playlist Organizer, so I can't fix it the same way.

Please provide more information: message, console log, screenshot, ....

if you backup your full configuration there should be no specific problem with foo_plorg

can I apply a CUI playlist filter to all playlists in a folder?

Is there any way to also use a folder as a playlist? That is, have it contain playlists and, when selected, list all contained tracks? It's annoying to have a playlist and a folder to do what a folder could do on its own.
If this isn't currently possible, could it be added?

is it possible to backup my sorted tree view of 50+ playlists? where does it save this config? thanks.

I'm sorry I can't reproduce this autoscrolling bug. Can you provide more details ? thanks

Then I tried to install the portable version of foobar and try my configuration there ... It still froze.
After that I tried to figure out, if it was really Playlist Organizer that made my foobar freeze so I installed a fresh foobar version again, without any plugins. That worked like a charm but after I installed only Playlist Organizer to that and tried to create a new playlist, it froze again.

This is great. However, I noticed that this UI doesn't work properly with Scheduler UI. When scheduled to play the next playlist, the reordering of the existing playlists in this UI is not reflected in the scheduler. This problem doesn't happen when using the Playlist Manager instead of Playlist Organizer.

Let's say I have three playlists A, B and C which I created them in the same order (A then B and finally C). Regardless of how I sort them in the Playlist Organizer, Scheduler will play them back in the order of creation (A->B->C). But if I change their order in the Playlist Manager, they will be played in the sorted manner I defined.

A fix would be a great addition.

Any development on this?

Hi @NEMO7538 , thanks for your component :) Here's my point :

Playlist Organizer hasn't been updated since 2015. Actually, not a single playlist management component has been been updated since 2015, and that's a lot of time : https://www.foobar2000.org/components/tag/playlist+management
Of course Playlist Organizer works pretty well, so it doesn't really need an update. However, maybe I could suggest a small improvement.

I have lots of autoplaylists, like dozens of them. Folders are really helpful to organize them, but what would be even more helpful would be being able to assign a custom color (text and/or background) to any playlist or folder.

I'm not talking about the existing "custom color" feature, since it doesn't allow to set custom colors on a per-playlist or per-folder basis.

I hope you can consider this. Thanks in advance!

I think the ux expand/collapse chevron glyphs should be the same color as the font. They're virtually unnoticeable with a dark background. See pic below.

(https://i.imgur.com/ThGxJat.png)

It is controlled by your Windows color scheme IIRC.
Sorry for that but don't expect any change in the near future.

Hmmm, nobody....
Maybe someone
- who has foo_plorg embedded in his skin (e.g. within a CUI layout by Preferences/Display/Columns UI/Layout: Insert Panel/Panels/Playlist Organizer)
- can spend 2 Minutes of his time

Yeah, that happens to me too. Its not a problem on your side.

^ @kpr812 - probably needs Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 as stated under requirements (http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Playlist_Organizer_%28foo_plorg%29).

I believe this is a bug that's specific to Linux users running Foobar2000 with Wine. (Such as me and many others.)
The best way to solve it would be to simply add an option to turn autoscrolling off.

I have this problem on two Windows 10 computers (latest updates applied), one with dual screens, the other single screen. Please take another look, it's really annoying. I'm sure it didn't do this when I installed it back in 2015. Maybe it's a Windows design change but if it also appears on Linux?
It seems to be responding to Windows cursor position messages when the component doesn't have focus and even when the mouse is outwith the foobar2000 screen. IMHO this is definitely undesirable behaviour.
TIA

How do I keep the playlists of two installs synchronized? Synchronizing the playlists-v1.4 does not do it. Both installs are identical except in some UI dimensions.

When adding tracks to the playlist it would be nice not to add the same track therefore not allowing duplicates.

If this was an option in the preferences this would be great.

Me too, I have this behavior on both a recently installed W10Pro and W10Education. I believe it started after a Foobar update a couple of years ago (1.3?) - the one that fixed the playlist crash error and made the old playlists incompatible with the new ones (I think). I use the same config folder on both systems so the problem might be somewhere within. I'm confident that if someone just used my config folder they can reproduce this issue reliably on W10 and latest FB2k.

Is there a way for me to keep my 100+ playlists but reset them as if it's added from a clean install? I think that could help given that the dev can't reproduce it

Would want to report a bug (which I have been having for years without being able to track the culprit). There has been no updates since 2015 so it should be marked as not safe to use at the plugins page, unless it is fixed...

If there is a single panel with Playlist Organizer loaded and you close all playlists loaded within foobar, as soon as you try to create a new playlist in any way (File\new playlist, sending tracks to new playlist, etc.) foobar gets blocked indefinitely. The plugin clearly gets broken as soon as there is no playlist at some point. There is no crash (and no log that points to the culprit), it simply keeps processing indefinitely.

Steps:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Ensure there is at least one active playlist.
- Put Playlist Organizer in the layout OR open it in a new window (view/playlist organizer) and keep it opened.
- Close all playlists (ctrl + w). It will close active playlist, repeat until there is none.
- Try to create a new playlist via menus or double clicking on the library items, etc.
- Profit.

There is no way workaround to it unless the plugin is removed from a panel after restarting foobar and then creating a new playlist.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Force foobar closing.
- Remove Playlist organized from layout. If it was loaded in its own window, then ensure it's closed.
- There is no active playlist and no playlist loaded at this point.
- Create a new playlist (now it should work).
- Playlist organizer can the be used as usual, but never close the last playlist.

Tested it with clean install, both with CUI and DUI layouts and no other variables.

I'm thinking about a port to 2.0 / 64 bits ... when I have time and courage.
Thanks for your patience.

Tested it with clean install, both with CUI and DUI layouts and no other variables.

Reminder that the plugin is still being shown as safe to use by the troubleshooter...

@NEMO7538 mentioned he's considering updating this plugin.

Fyi I have been using this component without any major issues until 2.0

Thank you for editing the Japanese wiki the other day.

As someone has explained, I was just being ironic about this non-sense situation where a component being reported to be broken during a full year has been not been flagged as such yet. My comment was not towards you, but the situation (and the whole component ecosystem philosophy)

Since I came across your Spider Monkey script (Playlist Manager) during my search for alternatives, I was wondering if it would make sense to also have it monitor subfolders of the playlist folder and display them in foo_plorg tree-view fashion. I know categories are meant to allow for a similar functionality, but perhaps having it tied to actual folders on the filesystem would be more intuitive.

The existing playlist queries need to be stored somewhere?

It would be handy if they were in a json file to help recreate them that way.

But don't keep asking everywhere how to do it since there is only one way to do it right now.

Excuse me! You asked me to ask on this thread. Don't make me out to be one of those. Forget I ever mentioned it.

I'm thinking about a port to 2.0 / 64 bits ... when I have time and courage.
Thanks for your patience.
