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

C.

EDIT for clarity.

Thanks for the reply, I see the option under preferences.  I guess I should start downloading shoutcast pls.

To be a further pain would it be possible to add an option for it to play, but not open up in the playlist (activate).  It looks messy otherwise.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your work on the component. I'm not sure how much time you have for it now but I have a feature request anyway. Feel free to ignore it.

It would be nice if there was a way to customise where new playlists are places. Sometimes they seem to appear in a "New" folder and sometimes they just appear at the end of the root node. Either way, if for example you could apply a filter to place certain playlists in a certain folder, you could, for example, make all of the playlists created by the quicksearch panel appear in one folder. It could work from the title of the playlist, as you can make all the playlists created by quicksearch start with an asterisk.

Just an idea! Thanks again

When i have a playlist highlighted (whether playing or not) and i download and open a music file straight into foobar, the playlist gets completely wiped and replaced with what was just downloaded. Luckily it was a playlist that can easily be rebuilt but i have some playlists where i have carefully crafted the contents, so i do not wish to override these playlists accidently. Is there anything i can do about this?

Hi,
my musik laptop runs many weeks without a reboot and with foobar open.
foobar crashed during a pc restart after windows updates.

now all my plorg folder and playlist looks like some week ago. 

is it possible to restore the last set before the crash?
when and where are the settings stored?
is it possible to make backups?
Thanks in advance

Foobar is telling me that foo_plorg is too old for the version of foobar I am using (1.2.9). I am using whatever version is available on component repository. I recently re-installed Windows and foobar, but prior to this I was using foo_plorg with 1.2.9 with no issues. It also says I could be missing a dependency. Is there a newer version of foo_plorg I don't know about or is it a dependency issue? What does foo_plorg depend on?

Maybe this.

From the documentation
Quote
Requirements
As of version 1.9.1 [2011-04-16]:
Foobar 1.1 (or newer) is required and Column UI 0.3.8.x (Optional). The component will not work with previous versions of Foobar.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package may also be needed if not already present on your system

Thanks, I think I'm missing MS Visual C++ 2010

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."

EDIT: Turns out I had to completely remove Foobar after installing Visual C++ 2010 and then re-install. Foo_plorg works fine now.

Hello,

[problem solved...]

thanks for the component.

For some reason, the playlist nesting hierarchy is lost every time I close Foobar. As I have over 60 playlists sorted into multiple folders, this is very irritating. Any ideas?

Is it possible to make foo_plorg display items, duration and size like the standard playlist manager does in the above image?

Would be really nice to be able to dock it inside the main window (instead of having a floating window). Kind of like Explorer's folder tree.

according to the component page, you can already do this.

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

I have 2 questions though...

1. Is there a feature to display total of "filesize of playlists" at folder??

For example (expanded):
Code: [Select]
- FOLDER A [3 list]    3GB
--- PLAYLIST A        1GB
--- PLAYLIST B        1GB
--- PLAYLIST C        1GB
- FOLDER B [2 list]    4GB
--- PLAYLIST D        2GB
--- PLAYLIST E        2GB

For example (truncated):
Code: [Select]
+ FOLDER A [3 list]    3GB
+ FOLDER B [2 list]    4GB

OR is there any other codes that can be used at the Nodes "Title Formating" to display directly after the folder name
for that case, it expected is:
Code: [Select]
+ FOLDER A [3 list] (3GB)
+ FOLDER B [2 list] (4GB)

2. Is there setting to choose colour of the dropdown arrow? Because it is only visible on hover
I'm using dark theme, if possible I don't want to set bright color on this particular panel when others are dark

[!--sizeo:1--][span style=\"font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\"][!--/sizeo--]I use code box because it's not displaying correctly with default text / fonts. Don't kill me.[/size]

You can have "list" but no size or count information at the folder level.

No, this is controlled by Windows.

My foobar has this foo_plorg in one of several tabs.
When I terminate foobar after selecting another tab and excute it again,
the foo_plorg shows first.

I want to start my foobar with the same configuration when I finished.

It's already in the todo list but don't expect it to be fixed soon.

Hi NEMO7538,

Is it possible to disable background (also scrollbar) or make it transparent? Even if I do not choose background color it still does not show my skin's background as you can see below:


The lyrics component offers me an option to make background transparent, and so it can fit in with my own skin well. Thanks.

It is not planned for the moment.

Hi.
I've just stumbled upon this and it might be my future life saver...
I've been looking for modular, platform independent playlist management for a bit now...and after BeatportPro, Rekordbox nor Rekordbuddy having proven to be viable options as of now for a few reasons, I started looking at what's available in my favourite at-home media player foobar and what kind of extension to playlist management there are available.

And foo_plorg looked perfect!
Unfortunately I could not find 2 vital features...
- I need to be able to import & export playlist data as conveniently as possible to interchange with other programs (drag & drop works [if it has to], but I would prefer multi/batch export ability as I have 100s of playlist I need to maintain & exchange between programs... :/ ). Also, .fpl export - which seems to be the default when drag&drop exporting playlist, doesn't work for me unfortunately as none of the programs I need to get the playlists into can read that... but, I did find a m3u export option, but it's buried deep in GUI pop-up-windows (right click -> Contents -> Utilities -> save as playlist -> File Save Dialogue ), so highly annoying, if one has to use this more than a few times....
Is there any way to batch export all playlists in a foo_plorg window ?
Or even better, export the whole selected hierarchy from the *selected* root node downwards ? i.e. that it replicates the foo_plorg node hierarchy with file-system folders & playlists (in user defined format, i.e. m3u in my case...) ?

- and secondly, not nearly as important as the above for me, but I would like to be able to lock playlists from any accidental edits... and it looks like that was possible ? i.e. the documentation refers to "Autoplaylist (or lock) properties" - but looks the menu has changed and that is not available anymore ? Also, not sure if that is a playlist 'lock' as I had it in mind...

If any of the above are possible, it would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction.
Churs.
