@ vonmeth, I use this code

Code: [Select]

$imageabs(4,$add(25,$mul(-21,%tracknumber%)),'images\albums\'%album artist%'.'%album%'.png',)

I had to change it a bit to fit where my files are, but it seems to work fine on my end.
I did take out the apostrophes, see if that helps any.

Edit: To further clarrify, I used Tool - 10,000 Days, and had the image named Tool.10,000 Days.jpg

$if($strcmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),1),
$drawrect(,,,,brushcolor-36-37-45 pencolor-null))

$padding(2,0)
$font(calibri bold,9,$if(%isplaying%, underline,),250-250-250)
$replace(%title%,'(',$font(,,bold italic,204-204-204)'(')
$if(%_selected%,$imageabs(0,-10,images\glass.png,))

$alignabs(6,13,%_width%,%_height%,,)
$font(CubicFive10,6,nocleartype,190-190-190)
[%length% | ]
[%bitrate% kbps]

$alignabs(0,-1,$sub(%_width%,2),%_height%,right,)
$font(CubicFive10,6,nocleartype,190-190-190)
[%play_counter%x]
$if(%cwb_queueindex%, '['%cwb_queueindexes%/%cwb_queuelength%']')

$alignabs(0,10,$sub(%_width%,2),%_height%,right,)
$font(Wingdings,9,glow-190-190-190 glowexpand-1,250-250-250)
$repeat(«,%rating%)

here's my method

Code: [Select]

$puts(title,[%tracknumber%.  ][$if($meta(album artist),%artist%'  •  ',)]
$if2(%title%,%filename%))

$iflonger($get(title),60,$trim($cut($get(title),60))...,$get(title))

60 is the length of the string/text

Hi, i am a noob and am new to foobar.

I have tried installing ui_single_column but it doesnt seen to be working. I have copied the dll to the components director of foobar. I have the lastest columns UI and it is working. When i go to preferences> columns ui> playlist view, i see no groups or items. The dll is active since i see it under components.

Am i missing something?

Thanks

You're looking at the wrong place. Go to the Layout tab, And add the Single Column Playlist view. Now go back to the actual UI and right click the new panel for its settings.

EDIT: I'm losing my edge.

And will it be possible to sort depending on multiple tags ? For example if I have two different albums by two different artists, but these two albums have the same name, I'd like to group them under different headers 

It's odd. If i enter no grouping variable, I get no headers. If i try to condition it so singles wont get headers, It ignores me. I tried something like:

$ifgreater(%totaltracks%,1,%album%,)

$if(%tracknumber%,$if2(%album artist%,%artist%),'(no album info found)')[ - $upper(%album%)]

I thought about wether or not to suggest this for awhile as it's obviously intended for use with the albumart in the playlist, something which clearly qualifies as eye candy. However, since now I'm hooked on this way of managing the playlist I'm going to mention it.. please dont flame me too much:

I would like to request the ability to specify a minimum group size. If a group contains less than x entries (x being an integer defined in preferences) then albumlist will append extra (blank?) entries to the end of the group untill it contains x entries.  This would allow us to display albumart for albums containing too few tracks to normally accomodate the space for the art.. if we can hook onto something like %list_index% or even better.. a %group_index%.

It would be nice to go even further and allow x to be defined by titleformating so we could do something like $if(%tracknumber%,4,0). Even further continuation of the idea, maybe allowing 0 value to hide the header of the group.
