This appears to be FofR's blog: http://fofr.trivialbeing.net/

I got it off the contact page on http://www.fooblog2000.com


This is not the creator of Panels UI. He just hosts the install files. The creator of Panels UI is a guy by the name of Terrestrial, and he seems to have disappeared :\


Ah. Then please disregard

does anybody know what exactly happens when I check multiple checks in the grouping column in the "sort/group by" dialog box?

and how do I exactly assign grouping layouts to different groupings anyway? the documentation on this is very poor. does anybody know of better documentation about panels ui, library filter and the single column playlist then on the wiki pages of hydrogen audio?

thanks for any help... I know, I'm hooked

does anyone know how to set the Albumart mode in pu panels script,

i.e. clicking on a button to set Mode to Now Playing or Follow Cursor.
But dont confuse this with playback follow cursor.

Thanks in advanced

Hey everybody,

I am one of those users who use Panels UI for the sole purpose of getting the Track info panel so I can add it to Column UI. 'Nuff said about that.

When I tried to set it up as I want to I ran into a problem with the variables.

First of all, I would like a list with all the variables available in the Track info panel. That would be really helpful!

Second, I need some help with a variable which were available in the plugin foo_uie_trackinfo. It was called %time_elapsed% and showed how much time of the song now playing had elapsed (pretty self-explanatory, I know).

This variable is not recognized by Panels UI. Which variable should I use instead?

The second request is probably superfluous if my first request is filled. But I wrote it down just to clarify my problem.

And to clarify further, here's an example of what I want it to show:

Let's say that one minute has elapsed on a song which is 3m 43s. I want the track info panel to say something like this:

Time: 1:00 / 3:43

The code I have come up with so far is:

Code: [Select]
Time: ??? / %length%


But what should I use instead of "???" to get the desired result?

Any help would be appreciated!

I am having a bit of trouble with the library filter. Every item listed, from the headers, to each individual child has "[UNKNOWN FUNCTION]" in the left hand corner. I am using Panels UI 0.14.12 beta, however this problem has occur long before i started using it. I tried deleting everything under the Library Filter page under preferences, and under settings, but still no luck. The only temporary solution i found was to put a solid rectangle over it. If i want to make everything transparent, i have no idea what to do. This seems to be only a problem with my config, any others i downloaded seem to work fine. Any ideas on what i can do...?
Thanks

is there any way to minimize/maximize/restore the window through buttons (trying to do a wmp theme where they don't have the titlebar) anybody have any ideas)

also this might belong somewere else but is there a list tree addin for a new version of panels ui (0.13.x)?

also i might be blind but here do i find a download to 0.14.x versions?

For minimize, there is "hide" command.

thankyou. i found foobar 0.14.9.

oh and is there a restore window size command or a maximize command?


and another question, is it possible to find the position of the mouse when it's clicked?

and one more    is it possible to do loop commands or give variables to a certain artist/album in the library without having to select them (have a list of variables 1-whatever with the values set as artist)

and what about setting the mode, Im guessing that %_trackinfo_mode% only returns a value, I would like to set the mode.

Hi,

Im struggeling to configure my Library Filter.
I have a tag "styles" with multiple entries in each file, like "style1; style2; style3". Is it possible to make the library filter sorting for those styles, so that every song that has e.g. style1 in the styletag in under "style1" ?

Hope someone can help me,

Juro

I use this for my styles, you may need to change the separator.

Code: [Select]
$if(%style%,< ALL STYLES >,!null!)|
$if2($meta_sep(style,|),!null!)

The source was never released, so I highly doubt it. The best we could hope for is someone recreating a Panels UI look-a-like component :/.

I believe it was all based on TrackInfo component, which has source available. Bu AFAIK Terrestrial never released any source for his modifications and further components.

I beleive someone would have to create it all from scratch, which is a lot of work.

if i ever learn to languages needed i'll have a shot at it (but that'll be a long time from now)

so please if someone could rewrite panelsUI with the same formatting and more, that would be awesome!!!!!!!

foo_ui_panels

Reply #2669
Even though people keep asking for rewrites of PanelsUI I wish they would read at least the last 2 pages and understand that no source code has ever been release so a rewrite would be impossible.

What I always wonder if anyone knows Terrestrial personally and is in contact with him  and knows what he's up to and if he ever plans to come back to PanelsUI or even the foobar community but that will probably remain unanswered. I've searched this thread for for Terrestrials last post and I couldn't find any last words or any or reason why he left unless that's been moderate out.

who knows maybe after all the drama that happened last july he decided to take a break and maybe code PanelsUI in private and not come back till everything is how he wants it or maybe not.

All I know is PAnelsUI and some awesome configs got me more into foobar and using it and that's why i'm here and posting. anyway with all that being said here's some Questions I have.

1. is Titeformatting and therefore TAGZ or panelsUi more like a programming language and therefore would it be easier for me to use it or learn it if i brushed up on some programming basics?

2. Outside of reading all the wikis is there an easier way to understand the basics of PanelsUI and move on from there to making your own?

I'm planning on using PanelsUI 14.9.

any info would be great. Thanks

I think that it has to do with a '$eval(%_width%-...)'-calculation!
But without code, I can't help you even more.

Alright, the skin is here, I haven't changed it, but it happens with any skin as it seems, not only Lasse's. So it seems to be a somewhat more general problem of how my computer handles Panels UI. As I said, I use the same configuration of Foobar on another PC, and there it works flawlessly.

Not sure if im putting this is the right place, but here goes;

I'm having a wierd problem with images not showing up. I'm trying to modify the Liqourice thingie.
Everything is working smooth, but for some reason the some of the album art is not showing up. Most of it works perfect, but some won't show up. They're named correctly (folder.jpg) and all that, tried removing the files, refreshing the library, everything, but for some artists it wont show up.
Is this even a problem within panels or is it something wierd going on with the files?

I'm very new to this, although most of the code is making sense, some stuff is still confusing.

Here is the code for the album art;

Sources:
Code: [Select]
// --- Image sources
//$puts(nocover,$getpvar(dir)/noart.png)
$puts(imgsrc,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.*))
//$puts(artoverlay,$getpvar(dir)/overlay.png)
$puts(border,$getpvar(dir)/corners.png)


Displaying:
Code: [Select]
// --- Album Art Display
$if($and($fileexists($get(imgsrc)),$greater(%_itemcount%,5)),
//$imageabs2($get(imgw),89,,$eval($get(rowheight)*{%_itemindex%-1}),$get(imgw),$get(rowheight),$get(leftpad),,$get(nocover),NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2($get(imgw),89,,$eval($get(rowheight)*{%_itemindex%-1}),$get(imgw),$get(rowheight),$get(leftpad),,$get(imgsrc),)
//$imageabs2($get(imgw),89,,$eval($get(rowheight)*{%_itemindex%-1}),$get(imgw),$get(rowheight),$get(leftpad),,$get(artoverlay),NOKEEPASPECT alpha-150)
$imageabs2($get(imgw),89,,$eval($get(rowheight)*{%_itemindex%-1}),$get(imgw),$get(rowheight),$get(leftpad),,$get(border),NOKEEPASPECT)
)


Thanks!

EDIT
Solved!
Seems as if the directory with the folder.jpg is named with a "#" in it, it wont load the images. Is this a known bug? Anyway to work around it than to rename the folder?

I've ran into the same issue as Chairman85 did - adding tracks to the playback queue either by middle clicking them or using the context menu doesn't trigger the %isplaying% variable in SCPL for my current config. I've tried removing every component which isn't required (down to only foo_input_std.dll, foo_ui_columns.dll and foo_ui_panels.dll) and looked though every setting without any success. Any idea on what might be the problem?

It doesn't seem to be the SCPL code as not even the following works correctly:
Code: [Select]
$if(%isplaying%,PLAYING,NOT PLAYING) || %artist% -- %title%


It does work when using a fresh config file though (deleting the old one).

Edit: Found it now - I had changed the default middle click operation of the SCPL to 'Add to Playback Queue', resetting it to the default solved the problem.

Is there anyone who have any tips to make SCPL scroll faster (better perfomance,framerate) to share? I mean about coding, not something like disable transparent background,remove font effect or something like that.

I just recently found that, If you don't use $font() command at all in SCPL item display but use it only in group display and make your last $font() command you use in group display to set font type & size you want in playlist.  And set the font color in item display using $textcolor(xxx-xxx-xxx). Somehow it make SCPL scrolling performance much better.

But, you can't use font effect & different font type and size in playlist this way (I don't use font effect, it's slow. and I use just one font type anyway.) and there will be an incorrect text drawing at first when you just start foobar. But once you scroll playlist just a bit, everything will work just fine.

Right now, I have mod dawxxx666 FooAvA 1.03 config to make it incredibly fast even with my aging PC yet still (maybe more) shiny! Oh.. I'm so happy right now

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to solve the problem I have.

Is it possible to take artist art from file folder.jpg, which is located one folder higher? For example, when you got artist folder which contains many subfolders. Folder.jpg is located in artist folder.

Sorry, if the question has already been risen. I was looking for it. Thank you
