A good friend of mine has nailed Quake2 completely on P90 with 32mb of RAM.. He was saying it was 'not FAST, but OK'
For me PanelsUI is slow. I see it unreasonable that on a Core Duo 1.8Ghz CPU a simple 2D scrolling (even scripted) takes 0.5 sec for an update.
I could post a screenshot of what does my setup look like (modified fofR). But, acutally, a better idea would be to implement some sort of a timerefresh function equivalent in Panels UI just to have a common testing base when discussing performance issues like that. Otherwise it all depends on one's perception of FAST and SLOW, of course.


I too think my foobar runs SLOW when using fofr's configs but not my own or other ones . I know fofr's configs are full of pvars and other variables that the plug-in has to go over to display. Thats why I would say it has more to  do with the code  then the plug-in.

I was skeptical at first about this plug-in when it first came out but after testing it I saw that it really was light on resources and handled fine. I am using an older version of it now mind you

Question:

I have a problem with my SCPL. I want the header for each album to display how many songs are in each album, but I can't seem to make some code that will do what I want. I can show how many songs I have total tho. So my question is, how do I show how many songs are in each album in the header?

I don't think that's possible. You can only show %totaltracks% in each track-row.

As odissey said you can do this with %totaltracks%, but first you have to set totaltracks for each track. Personaly i do this with Mp3tag, because he is the only one i found where i can do this in one time. I load all my songs at once and then Mp3tag will set the totaltracks filed depending on directories. Hope it can help you

Keikonium, try %group_count%, works for me (with 0.14.12beta)

Also, another suggestion to the author is to combine $imagebutton() and $imageabs() functions. It is strange that while it is possible to resize image using $imageabs() you can't do the same with $imagebutton() and while tooltips are allowed with $imagebutton() it is not possible to add them to $imageabs().

Why would you want a tooltip on a background image or something?

%_itemcount% will do it for you without the need of tagging

Heres what I use
Code: [Select]
$alignabs($get(xoffset),22,$eval(%_width% - $get(xoffset) - 5),14,right,middle) 
%_itemcount%$font($get(font),,,$get(color2)) TRACK$ifgreater(%_itemcount%,1,S,)],

Why necessarily background? Normal one will do just fine. And I can think of a dozen reasons why that would be handy (for example displaying additional album info, when you hoover your mouse over the Album Art).
Also, yet another request from me  : Multi-line tooltips? Please?

As things stand, development of this component has halted and further development and support is looking highly unlikely so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Awesome, that works great . Thank you .

Yes there is a way, use this:
Code: [Select]
$button2(37,500,0,0,63,16,
'$font(Tahoma,8,underline,61-131-182)File Directory',
'$font(Tahoma,8,underline italics,120-145-209)File Directory',
Open Directory,)

Thanx a lot buddy 
Really appreciate it.

Hi, haven't been here in a while. I am to gather Panels UI is no longer under development? Terrestrial has stopped developing? disappeared? 

Thats a damn shame, I love using this component.

I came here to see if terrestrial had managed to add in the functionality of being able to select individual playlists (from SCPL) using buttons. I remember this was a very popular request some time ago, but I guess the answer is no then if he has stopped developing?

Hey guys, n00b here, so I apologise if this has been brought up before. i did have a search but couldnt find anything recent.

In any case, I am a relative newcomer to foobar and have just finished making a foobar panels UI setup. How exactly would I go about making it available to other people if they wished to use it on another computer? Is it as simple as just uploading the pui and the images?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Can I place an image in my Foobar?
like foobar.png for a 'banner'

this works:
$drawrect(0,0,30,30,brushColor-255-0-0 penColor-0-0-0)

but those not
(the image is in C:\Program Files\foobar2000\images)

$imageabs(0,0,
    %foobar_path%\images\banner.png,
    FLOW ALPHA-150
)

or

$imageabs2(
    0,0
    0,0,0,0,
    9,1,
    /images\banner.png,
)

Do you know that for a fact?

As far as we know, Terrestrial could be working hard rewriting the entire component to use a more advanced scripting language.

Or maybe he got in a car accident.

Or maybe he's just busy.

Don't jump to conclusions.

His last post pretty much concludes everything itself...

I don't think so. I myself had a accident on last friday. Sometimes life is very surprising. I want top say that everything could have happened.
Does anyone of you has any conaect with terrestrial? Messenger or so on?

I think it would be cool if we had really an official message from him what he intents to do. It would be fair for his "fans".

Given Terrestrial's last post and the lack of communication, it is fairly logical to conclude that development has halted and that further development is unlikely, at least any time in the near future. Even if he was in a car accident or 'just busy' that still means that development has stopped. If he's not developing, then development has stopped. In the past he has usually been fairly communicative of what he is doing and plans for the future of Panels but his complete absence does not bode well.

Don't be short-sighted.

We simply cannot know. I think it would be fair from terrestrial to give the community at least a hint if he stopped development. In THE thread, foosion wrote he wanted to give terrestrial a "long answer", this of course couldn't  happen as the thread was closed - foosion, have you had any PM communication with terrestrial afterwards?

Does anyone have experience placing several buttons on top of another? When I try it does not (always?) work correctly when I want to reach menu items.
