would this component allow me to double-click an item and have it send to a specific, "default" playlist?

I'd like to move the active selection to the top of the playlist.
I set up a keyboard shortcut to trigger the "Move to a specified position" command and, as the window that appears already has the number 1, I have just to hit enter and the trick is done. But...
... but I'd like to assign this command to my remote control and make it work through Girder.
Now, as long as the small window (modal?) shows up, Girder stops working and I can't complete the command sending the "return" key.

Is there anything I can do to dodge this?

Thanks.

it was once implemented for move to top and bottom of the playlist, but was removed due to hotkey exists already, they are CTRL+SHIFT+HOME and CTRL+SHIFT+END

btw, it is just updated.

Your prediction is true it doesn't work here (XPSP2 latest update, VS2005 without SP1). After replacing the embedded manifest with the one from the older version I can use the component normally. It seems the CRT for VC2005 with and without SP1 is different.

BTW, there's another thing. If I select a lot of track and use the expand function by accident foobar just hang a very long time depending on how many was selected. Can you do something about it?

EDIT: Try to install the latest VC++ runtime from MS but fail too, guess the package hasn't got updated yet. For now, I guess I have to use my mod dll, because SP1 bring more pain than helpfulness for ppl on XP IMHO.

EDIT2: You can try to look at this post here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost....ageID=1#1105291

But it works on good old Windows 2000 SP4

thanks for your link, it did tell me how to solve this problem as they are different versions, so ridiculous that ms releases the sp1 but not planned for the redistribution package.
please report if my new update works for you.

I've changed the code, should be faster, tested it myself.

I think it works for you is because manifest doesn't exist in win2k

Unfortunately, still does not work. It seems like the manifest in your dll now even look more ridiculous because of a bug of SP1 (as some one having the same problem here) if I guess right. Now you have two options I think:

1. Modifying the manifest by hand and remove the
Code: [Select]
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>

part.

2. Find the redistribution package in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\vcredist_x86.exe. The date of the file should be later than mine 09/23/2005 and distribute it on your blog. If it doesn't there then some thing is wrong with your SP1 installation (another possible bug of SP1, info I got when searching for the link I posted in my previous post). It's still ridiculous because the runtime on the web hasn't get updated yet.

EDIT: Thanks for the update about expanding speed, it works really nice now.

EDIT2: I don't even know that there's no manifest on Win2K, jump straight from 98SE to XPSP1. I will do the same with Vista waiting for a SE or at least a SP.

I installed the runtime files, but I still get a configuration error (using XP SP2)
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

everybody who cannot use the new version, please download the latest vc8 sp1 runtime from my blog.
it will be needed for any of my updates or new components.

Yep, component is working after installing latest runtime libraries  (using XP SP2)

Now it works  Would it be implement a feature to enable/disable a DSP?

It's great that you find the runtime. Now the component works without any trick.

Now it works for me too! 

I have three suggestions:

1.  I don't use the all the move commands because of one reason: the distance between the tracks are kept after moving. For example: If i select two tracks  and there are three tracks  between these two selected after moving there will be three tracks between them too (just others). After changing that it would be great to see "Move to Top" and mainly "Move to bottom" (useful in combination with Expand functions)

2. Expanding selection by genre and rating would be very useful too.

3. Taking out the "Invert selection" command out of the selection menu (it really don't belongs there because nothing is applied on selection) and placing it like before

Have you tried the "Ctrl+Shft+Home" as suggested by Acropolis a few posts above?
I think it works. Not sure about its opposite, though. Funny.

Nice would be having "Expand by tag"
Perfection would be to have an "Expand on column header" while hovering on one of them.

I agree invert select should be out of the selection group.
expand commands are now more flexible, you can enter the tag name for expansion.

Nice would be having "Expand by tag"

done as you want, basically.

Thank you, Acropolis! 

I like to make one suggestion more concerning the placing of the commands:

Two weeks ago i wanted to post that all the jump commands are applied on active playlist and not on playing playlist. I thought it could be a bug but after reading the thread again i read that it is not possible than it is now.

To avoid such misunderstandings it would be better to place the Jump-commands under "Main menu -> Edit". The commands under under "Edit" are all related to active playlist so why not the Jump commands?

Reply #119
you are right, I thought it should be placed under playback just because there are some "jump xxx and play" commands. I'll change it for the next release, now it's just too minor for a release.

ok, now the jump group is under "Edit".

Thanks for continuing development: this plugin becomes a collection of small but extremly useful tools.

I have one request/suggestion: An "Open directory..." dialogue similar to "Open CD ...".
I am thinking of a simple list with predefined directories wich can be added (browse dialogue) or removed by context menu. Additionaly to that three buttons: Add to playlist - Send to playlist - New playlist.

how about a "true random" option in playback menu? nobody seems to write a component for this, but it was very often requested...

there's already Add Directory, what's the point? just it won't erase the playlist items.

I think there's one random component in foosion's page.

ahh right, I have forgotten, this is solution is also good. But you cannot overwrite with your plugin the "shuffle (track), shuffle (album)..." behaviour? This only can change peter, right?
