Standardized preset names and some standardized User Globals (userFontFace,userFontSize,coverPath,artistImgPath, etc.) would be (IMO) absolutely awesome, and make these new features incredibly effective.
Right now they kind of aren't.

I think what we're kinda starting to see (because everything is scripted) is a kind of tiered system of of layout creators, layout modder's and layout users.
This could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective, but I think it's reality, since this does take a fair bit of work (although it's definitely worth it).

I think standardizing a few things (like some user globals and preset names) is going to help everybody.


(btw, if the "Sort by group" checkbox overrides the "Group by" box, maybe checking that should ghost out the group by button and/or edit box)

Does anyone know why, ever since switching to Panels UI, my drag'n'dropped playlist items always move to the bottom of the playlist?

...
you can't. scpl doesn't really support drag and drop positioning yet.

Does anyone know why, ever since switching to Panels UI, my drag'n'dropped playlist items always move to the bottom of the playlist?

you can't. scpl doesn't really support drag and drop positioning yet.

I distinctly remember being able to do this in SCPL, I would drag a track or album from Windows Explorer into foobar and the items would be placed after the now selected songs. After enabling the ColumnsUI "drop at end of playlist" feature these songs started being dropped at the end. Now trying to turn off this feature doesn't work. Was it somehow disabled in a PUI update?

$if($strchr($playlistname(),'°'),!noheader!,%album%%discnumber%%disctitle%)

Has anyone managed to successfully use foo_run commands in their buttons? I've only seen one (irrelevant) mention of it in this thread (unless the HA search doesn't return proper results).

The foo_ui_panels configuration window only shows Run service in the drop down context form so I guessed at what the commands for the foo_run services would be. I tried 'Run service/Name' and 'Run/Name' in my buttons to no avail. So either I am doing something wrong or foo_ui_panels is not compatible with this component yet. In the CWB Hooks component, the New File Tagger displays each user created foo_run context entry, so I imagine it should be possible, no?

works perfectly here. if my run command is artistimage i just put 'artistimage' in my button command and it works

Is there any button command that will force a refresh of SCPL? If there was, we could stack this with any other button that tries to update the layout.

If the playlist is active you can use the utils menu command to "Send to playlist..." and choose the same playlist name.

Not sure how to get it as a button command - there is a component which gives separate menu commands with the appropriate playlist name on them which you may be able to refer to as a button command.

Easy to get the playlist name:

%cwb_activelist% - active playlist name
%cwb_playinglist% - playing playlist name

EDIT

Foo_utils "Edit other/Send to playlist/1 - Browser" type commands are only accessible from the buttons customise menu (i.e. for the foobar buttons bar). They do not appear in the commands in the drop-down in the panels-ui.

Try %_isplaying%

yeah, its something to do with codepages and unicode / utf8 conversion. it's crashing within scintialla, who's code I'm not familiar with so I'm not quite sure what's going on. I tried changing the codepage on my system to see if I could reproduce the crash but then vista refused to boot, which meant I had to reinstall :( does bringing up the scpl layout box ever cause a crash, or is it only the main panels ui settings dialog (the one with the formatting string).

the layout selector code is only evaluated when the playlist changes / or a new sorting/grouping is applied. ideally you shouldn't have to manually select a layout, but the layout should be automatically chosen based on the sorting/grouping pattern. with the new sort/group main menu with the new version you should be able to create a preset and button as a workaround though.

I would like the ability to manually switch layouts on the same playlist with a button. (i.e.: album vs. singles groupings on the same playlist)....

I made a Sort/Group Criteria called "Singles" with "Group by sort" enabled and nothing in the code.
Then I made a Preset called "Singles" wich uses this criteria.
And a $button using "Singles" action.
That's how I can change between Albums and Singles on the same Playlist.
Is that what you are trying to do?

gregory: Is this more in line with what you are looking for?

Code: [Select]

// PerSecond
$if(%isplaying%,
$ifgreater(%playback_time_seconds%,1,$setpvar(title,%title%),)
,)

$getpvar(title)

With your previous code, the pvar would only be set when playback time is equal to one second not if it is greater. Also, unless you place this under a // PerSecond header it will not be re-evaluated every second.

By The Way... this question lead me to stumble upon a solution for a long time problem. How to show a list of the last played songs even accross foobar restarts. Well give this a try, it should be fairly obvious how to expand it past 3 tracks:

Code: [Select]

// PerTrack
$if(%isplaying%,
$setpvar(lastplayed.3,$getpvar(lastplayed.2))
$setpvar(lastplayed.2,$getpvar(lastplayed.1))
$setpvar(lastplayed.1,[%album artist% - ]%title%)
,)

// PerSecond
$alignabs(0,0,%_width%,15,,)$if2($getpvar(lastplayed.1),No Track)
$alignabs(0,15,%_width%,15,,)$if2($getpvar(lastplayed.2),No Track)
$alignabs(0,30,%_width%,15,,)$if2($getpvar(lastplayed.3),No Track)

(With creative use of the above code it should be a simple matter to apply time limitations to what is considered a played track)

// PerTrack

$if(%isplaying%,

$ifequal(%playback_time_seconds%,0,$setpvar(album art,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)),)
