CepiPerez: I played around and got that approach to work per terrestrials earlier suggestion, however I would like to be able to switch SCPL layouts not just sort/group by criteria.

Using the Layout Selector code, isn't that exactly what you will accomplish by changing the the sort/group criteria?  I can see where you're coming from though, it's kinda backwards.  It would make more logical sense to have a sort/group by criteria/preset/etc tied to a specific layout, not the other way around.

Bug?:

$button2(,,X,Y,W,H,,,,)

"X, Y, W(idth) & H(eight)
    X an Y define the position of the upper left corner of the button's active area relative to that of the text or image's top-left corner, W and H define the width and height of the active area of the button (W and H do not resize the button images or text)."

If a text doesn't fit in the allocated area, it aint shown... Problem is, the allocated area is not calculated as X+W, that is $button2(,,10,0,10,0,++,++,,) doesn't show, and $button2(,,10,0,20,0,++,++,,) gives you a plus which aint clickable, one plus which is, and a clickable space of 10 pixels without signs. (all given a '+' takes 10 pixels.)

Is there any way to programatically change the Sort/Group By preset automatically based on code? For example automatically switch presets based on $playlistname() ? I can do it manually with a button under the newer build but I wonder if we can have the preset change when we change the active playlist.

I'm sure this has been asked before but, is there a way to make the background of panels transparent so I can see through to the panel underneath it?

I have a track display panel behind all the other panels with a background image and I want to see it show through the panels above it.

You can't. As I understand it foo_ui_panels cannot dictate what panels can be transparent, the panels have to support it natively. I don't know if a Track Display panel can be made transparent or not.

Okay well the only panel I really need transparent is the SCPL, since Terrestrial also makes that, I'll just hope he sees this post instead of reposting in the SCPL thread.

When I check the option to hide the titlebar, I can't minimize the window.

Is that a Windows restriction? I'm on Vista.

with the latest version 0.9.2
my sort/group by works perfectly until i close foobar

once i reload it the same sort/group by pattern is displayed but none of the headers are there - so I have to re apply the sorting and then it work.

I am using scpl through columns ui = could this have something to do with it

another question - does panels ui work with the album art component -  I use it because of the way it allows me to get my album and artist art working...

Standardised preset and variable names is a great idea. Would you be prepared to post/start a thread putting up a set. Hopefully, then, those that want to can use the same names - without a huge debate on what they should be!
um... well, my hope is that Terrestrial will incorporate some standards into panelsUI itself, as he defines them.

Could you map the Esc key to close the panel configuration window? I always tap it, out of habit, heh.

I am sorry guys, but is it my problem, or is only version 0.8 available to download?
When i download from the download link from the post #1 i always get the old version, maybe my proxy if getting it always wrong?
If someone cut put it in another place for dl that would be great!

thanks!

Terrestrial: Any chance of getting those sort by strings included in the pui? Even knowing the code I needed to change and add it just took me an hour to setup fb2k on a new machine (not including components, etc.)

Try right click on the playlist, Sort / group by -> Artist / Date / Album

works... thanx, but why is it all so complicated now? and another thing...
will the wiki be updated with all the new features? would be really nice

Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($playlistname(),'°'),!noheader!,%album%%discnumber%%disctitle%)
The problem is this condition never returns the TRUE statement

Well, just found the "mistake" in my code. Seems like the ° character isn't supported/recognized in the sort/group by criteria field. Replaced it by # and it worked

$button(DstX,DstY,X,Y,W,H,IMAGE,HOVER IMAGE,COMMAND,OPTIONS)

Is it possible to exec 2 COMMANDS?

I want button to exec:
- Play
- PVAR:SET:status:1

like this(only that this doesn't work):
$button(0,0,0,0,0,0,images\play.png,images\play_hover.png,PVAR:SET:status:1&&Play,)

I can confirm I have this problem as well. Same setup, Win XP Pro SP2.

Yes, you can execute multiple commands: each should be in a separate button and both buttons should occupy the same space, viz:

$button(0,0,0,0,0,0,images\play.png,images\play_hover.png,Play,)
$button(0,0,0,0,0,0,images\play.png,images\play_hover.png,PVAR:SET:status:1,)

At the moment, execution will stop when a main or context menu command is executed, so the PVAR:SET will need to be positioned so it is executed first (which I guess is in the order above, (topmost button executed first) but if that doesnt work try the other way round).
