The graphical browser is so F'IN slow (for me at least)!  So everytime, I have to browse through it for all covers to be cached, and then I could enjoy it at full speed.  Is there anyway I could make the cache remain always there even when I quit and restart foobar?
That would be great.

I agree, the initial load time is my only gripe with this component. To bad it's not maintained any longer..

i only recently discovered this and it's sweet. it's the first 3rd party eye candy component that i have actually found useful. i can't really see the point in most of the others.... 

i now use this as the main interface for browsing my collection using the option to have the track list appear on a single click. it's a shame that can't be set with custom title formatting though. other than that this component is perfect for me.

Link isn't working, and I can't find anywhere else to download this from.    Help?

When I try to assign a custom mouse click action, I'd like to choose one of my defined "Run" commands, however they don't show up. It only displays "Run service" which doesn't make much sense. It's available when I create buttons in toolbars, so why not here???

Am I the only one having problems using keyboard shortcuts on this plugin?

So, i've racked my brain but i cant think of anything:

Is there any way to force this to always retrieve from your entire library, and not just your active playlist? Its a bit useless to browse through music you already have in your playlist...no?

would like to be able to do something like this in this component or something completely different: while i'm listening to my current playlist (of say, 1-2 albums), i could scroll through all my album art and go "oooh i fancy that" and add it to the playlist.

I think the complete opposite .

The reason I dumped Chronflow is because it doesn't provide a "Playlist mode" like GB, which I find much more useful and intuitive. If I want to browse my library, I'll click my "Library" playlist.

To each his own I guess.

Edit: Technically speaking, there should be 2 modes for every "browsing" component: a library mode to browse the library and create playlists (a la Album List, Filter Panels, Chronflow...), and a playlist mode to browse through the active playlist and play(GB). The only component I'm aware of that supports both modes are Quicksearch Toolbar. Maybe its usefulness doesn't justify its complexity, so developers just choose the one mode they prefer .

works fine, no messages on startup. it's still blacklisted if you visit the online troubleshooter page but it's never caused me any problems.

here's a little piece of code to avoid the "nokeepaspect" and however hide the "no cover" picture

Code: [Select]
$draw_image(3,3,$eval(%gb_width%-6),$eval(%gb_height%-6),pictures\nocover.png)
$draw_image(3,3,$eval(%gb_width%-6),$eval(%gb_height%-6),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.*))
$puts(rect-height,$div($sub($eval(%gb_height%-3),%gb_calc_height%),2))
$puts(rect-width,$div($sub($eval(%gb_width%-3),%gb_calc_width%),2))
$gp_set_brush(255-22-32-41) // set it to your background color
$if($greater($get(rect-height),0),
$gp_fill_rectangle(3,3,$eval(%gb_width%-6),$get(rect-height))
$gp_fill_rectangle(3,$sub($eval(%gb_width%-3),$get(rect-height)),$eval(%gb_width%-6),$get(rect-height))
)
$if($greater($get(rect-width),0),
$gp_fill_rectangle(3,3,$get(rect-width),$eval(%gb_height%-6))
$gp_fill_rectangle($sub($eval(%gb_height%-3),$get(rect-width)),3,$get(rect-width),$eval(%gb_height%-6))
)


I have just discovered this component and I'm sad that it's no more developed... The graveyard of foobar2000's great components is already full, I hope this one will still be compatible until his resurrection or that a good replacement come

not likely. it hasn't been updated on CUI for nearly 2 years now.

you have to add a panel on the CUI layout editing page in the preferences.

I added a panel to put uie_graphical_browser, but album covers art images cannot be shown

it doesn't use the foobar artreader or read embedded album art. you have to configure each pattern you want to use manually. this is what i use...

Code: [Select]
$gp_set_pen(FFAFAFAF,1)
$gp_draw_rectangle(3,3,$sub(%gb_width%,4),$sub(%gb_height%,4))
$draw_image(4,4,$sub(%gb_width%,5),$sub(%gb_height%,5),$directory_path(%path%)\cover.jpg)


you'll have to adjust the title formatting at the end of line 3 to match wherever your art is. (the first 2 lines of code put a border around each cover)

maybe my reply to your comment was a little hasty. there is a brand new playlist component being developed which works in DUI and replicates how GB looks. see here....

For album with multiple CDs
I put cover.jpg in the root folder instead of independent CD folder
ie

Artist name - album\CD1
Artist name - album\CD2
Artist name - album\CD3
Artist name - album\cover.jpg


I added
$draw_image(4,4,$sub(%gb_width%,5),$sub(%gb_height%,5), ..\cover.jpg)

however cover didn't show up

What is the latest version of this component?

Is it possible to send an album to a playlist and start playback on double click?

the latest version is rev015.....

maybe you can refer to the settings about the mouse behaviors, and it was a view of the existed albums in you current playlist.

I want to send the selected album a specific playlist and start playback. I entered the playlist name in the settings, but it is not the active playlist. I will try to explain what I mean: Graphical Browser shows playlist A. Now I want to send an album to playlist B and start playback. Perhaps there is a component to add an custom context menu entry for that?

I found a component called "Playlist Tools" (foo_utils) and now I can choose a double click action "Send to new playlist and play". With a WSH Panel Mod I set the active playlist and now I can use "Graphical Browser" as a library viewer
