I believe that I have tested with cue files and compressed files in the past.  How are the files getting to playlist tree?  Are you dragging and dropping them from outside of fb2k or dropping them from the playlist or using them inside a query?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=362752"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]


I've dragged them into playlisttree from explorer, haven't figured out a way just yet other then that to get files into playlisttree
If i query with an "empty" playlisttree it doesn't give me any result, even though I have them in my database in foobar. Never even thought of dragging files from the playlist  Gonna try out that!


*edit*

Tried to use Playlist->Insert from, and that resultet in "????" also...

Hello,
since the fb2k 0.9 RC was released, do you plan to compile your plugin with 0.9 SDK or you'll wait for 0.9 final? I'd like to switch to 0.9 version, but I can't witnout playlist_tree :-). Btw. thank you for the great work.

Hello

I was thinking in another interresting feature for playlist tree, but perhaps it's not possible, or very hard to do.

It's the ability to add content of burned compressed music CD's or DVD's. I know this implies to have a second database separated from the foobar's database, and to add some functionalities (scan disc, rescan disc, and a new field to store media name is necessary). Perhaps that must be a foobar database evolution, and not a playlist tree evolution. I don't know, but I think this will be a pretty good feature.

Wonder if this is possible?

I want a script that will add up all the play counts for one album as a total.

EG:

Album X has 3 tracks:

Track 1: 1 play
Track 2: 4 plays
Track 3: 2 plays

Album X: 7 plays total.  Then put this in the album list next to the name.

My attempts at doing it failed badly. 

Edit:

NM, I worked it out: %album% '@sum<%play_counter%>' in format.

if there is a version for 0.9 hopefully half of the options that don't work will either be removed or fixed

Hello, I was  thinking in something that can be very powerfull, at least, that can solve the queries I actually can't do.

This idea is to add the ability, in top of sortings possibility, filter displayed results. That can permit to display only folders with an itemcount or foldersize higher or lower than n.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=366571"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]


After thinking about this, you might actually be able to do this now using @hidden.. I have not tested it out, so I am not positive put you might be able to do something like

%artist%|%album% '@format<$if($less(%_itemcount%,4),@hidden ,)'|%title%

as a format string.

EDIT:  After looking at it, it appears my parsing algorithm is not sophisticated for this to work currently...

a bunch of them, for me anyways.
when using the search function, sometimes the background on the playlist tree panel would turn all red, sometimes it would crash foobar, sometimes it hangs foobar, and sometimes it works..
single click expands - has no effect. after foobar is restarted the playlist tree does not respond to the mouse at all and then sort of disappears taking the background color with it. disabling the option and restarting foobar seems to fix it.
ive experienced crashes and other odd behavior when using the drag and drop.

when disabling some of the options, it seems they still halve work..

[Edit: another small annoyance is when the order is set to shuffle, and you send files to the playlist, the first file in the playlist tree always plays first as opposed to playing a random file first.]

also i would recommend users back up their configuration file when changing playlist tree options because i have hosed my config file a few times.

however i realize it is an experimental plugin and i expect some problems.
its a really powerful plugin and im almost shocked at the things that u can do with it. good work

What version are you running?

I am working on better stability for 2.0... I just tried the single click expand option and you are correct that seems to be broken and I am working on fixing it... if you would be interested in testing out some of the new features for 2.0 and some of the stuff I am having been working on, check out this:

This is from a long time and happy user of PLT.

I use a main FB to play and another install as a test FB.

On the main FB I'm still using PLT 1.7.0 b3 and I don't remember a FB crash due to it.

On the test install I got some crashes when testing new fuctions of new releases of PLT.
When that happened, after I reported it, the author has always been very fast in fixing the issue (if possible) or giving some more advice about the new function or some workaround to get what I was looking for.

I must also say that sometimes he built a new function almost on request.

Yes, PLT is not perfect, but I wouldn't call it "experimental" and, if you have any problems, just report them clearly and I'm sure the author will be glad to help you.

My approach to Foobar has changed two times:

- since I started using PLT as a media library
- since I started using (and tweaking) a gob layout as my front end.

Thanks to both.

as it is its not crashing at all. using the tree works perfect as i have it configured. the only feature i really use is the playlist tree its self. i have tried the search (with the results in the tree) but i ran into a lot of problems..

heh, didnt many people were actually using the stuff ive posted. ive probably made a lot of changes since the last time i posted anything. what layout are u using?
heres a current screen.

Nothing fancy, as you can see.
I'm not even iterested into album art.

But your config made me start learning how to customize FB and columns UI.

ic, kind of like an explorer style view. imho its the best way to choose from large lists.

ive tried the 2.0 preview and its a huge step forward. after importing the old tree, foobar loads 5 seconds faster. the auto refresh works much faster and doesnt refresh the entire panel. i cant get the no browse feature to work tho. also is there a way to set certain folders and queries to be expanded or colapsed on startup?

Edit: i noticed its much easier to go thru the options now that you have to click the check boxes

The queries and folders should retain whatever state they were in when you saved as far as collapsed and expanded...

I will look into the nobrowse issue....

I added an interesting feature last night that I think people will come up will cool uses for... Nested queries... This is what I put in the changelog about them:

---
Nested Queries - w00t - Probably NOT for the casual user
if you put something like @query<%title%;title HAS %title%,'%title%'> in the formatting string, it will generate
a query for each matching item... I'm not sure the best uses of this but I am sure that someone will find this
useful... Say were were trying to find cover versions of Beatles songs you might try something like this:

Criteria:  artist HAS beatles
Format: @query<%title%;title HAS %title%;'%artist% - %title%'>

NOTE: thos are SEMICOLONS between the parameters

If a query with the same name and criteria already exists it will not be duplicated...
---

I havent released a new preview version yet though... maybe soon...

i cant seem to get the global variables to work quite right.

suppose i want to add the following to a global variable named "artist_the":
$if($strcmp($left(%artist%,4),The ),$right(%artist%,$sub($len(%artist%),4))', 'The,%artist%)

what code would i have to use to put in the global options, and what code can i use to retrieve it to use in the format and sort fields?

I'm thinking about changing the basic icon set for the next version.  If anyone has graphic talent or knows someone who does and wants to contribute, please make a set and post it or email me.  The icons need to be 16x16 and arranged in a horizonal layout like this:  http://foobar.bowron.us/images/playlist_tree.bmp

The images must look decent over a white background.  First icon should represent a file, the second a folder and the third a query.  After that, whatever icons you feel would be useful to have to select from.

Thanks.

is it possible to hide the contents of a query? for example, make a query called All Music that filters all the tracks with a 0-1 rating, and does not have any nodes or leafs under it. where its only function would be to send its entire contents to the playlist. there are a lot of places i would like to remove tracks from the trees.

and are the globals working in the 2.0 prieview?

Yes, with @hidden.  If you are using the 2.0 preview, you can choose how hidden nodes are displayed too.

They should be, but I havent done any testing of them yet.

EDIT: I just tested some out and they are working... Here is an example of how they work.  I set my global variables to this:

Code: [Select]
isbeck=$if($strstr(%artist%,Beck),IS BECK,NOT BECK)|


Then in the tree, I use %_isbeck% to access that variable.

Hi and thank you for this plugin which is a must have.
I'm writting from France and forgive me for my poor english...

I've got qweries such as this one :
(artist HAS @playing<%artist%> AND NOT artist IS @playing<%artist%>) OR (artist2 HAS @playing<%artist%>) in qwery field and

@format<@quote<@playing<%artist%> apparaît aussi dans ...>> in the label field.

in fact, it works good we i have multiple artists, il gives me information about other songs in my playlist. I use artist2 with electro in which you can have a track with a mix form "artist" but the music is written by another one.

So, this qwery work, no problem.
But, it is of course emtpy sometimes.
When it's empty, i would like de node to be hidden and i really don't know how to do it. 
Does anyone has got a solution ? 
Thanks in advance

I'm working on convert plt to 0.9 in pieces... I think this time around the browser is going to be a better and more useful feature... I'm going to be implementing it as multiple panels, and I think I am going to make it navigate-able similar to how I remember iTunes working...

Here's a preview:

That would be great, it's a function that is really missing!
Will you solve it with ColumnsUI or make it compatible with it, so that it can work beside further PlugIns like AlbumArt?

any chance the playlist tree panel will make it into 0.9?

and is it possible to use the enter key to send items selected in the playlist tree to the active playlist and play it?
