However I have some small suggestions for improvements.
Actually, i've made this config without even thinking to share it. I've made it for my unique usage and of course, there are many things to improve. Mostly about user's whishes.
So I take note of those things, if in 2013 or 2014 I fall down to an unemployment time, like in first half of 2010

The thumbnails above the album cover look too small to make anything out.
Actually those very very small cover thumbnails have sense for me (in my usage) : they indicates me which kind of cover i have, and if i need to find them or not, with AlbumArt Downloader.

You could replace the first thumbnail with a codec icon and the second thumbnail with a flag icon. In my previous config I tagged my artists with a "country" or "origin" tag which I represented with a (spherical) flag image.
Good idea. but... I will not change anything in a near futur. I think the code for displaying those thumbnails have to be rewrote, because it was not thought to support later management or messing.
I would better offer some more code lines to give the possibility to choose which kind of image users would like to show.
Why don't you share here the part of the code you've changed, if people prefer your way?

Also, an info panel at the right side wouldn't be bad either.
What kind of "info panel" ? an item properties panel like on the screenshot below? in the left panel?


If yes, this is an improvement i've made for my self, for tags-TAB, with buttons at the bottom for discogs/rename file/footprint scan/replay gain album scan/BPM scan etc...
If not, have you notice if adding panel on side panel could be easy if "you enter the understanding of code" ? (said in a simply way, not in a pretentious one).

Anyway, thank you jazzthieve for offering your rounded personnal and self-made genre's image. They will go with next release.

Question. Is there a way I can use this config with my normal foobar default directory aka in the program files folder, or is the only through the portable method? I tried unzipping it to my default directory like other configs but I couldn't get this to work. Couldn't even find the fcl file. I was able to get it to run using your portable method though. Just wondering. Thanks.

It was a bit on purpose. This release was for "testing" the config, on a fresh new portable installation. In this way, any uncontrolled deletion of user's parameter could be avoid. The portable method and the absence of fcl were, for me and for users, a guaranty to avoid problems.

I've tested, rigth now, if I could give you a quick solution, installing foobar on local, and importing fcl, but there is some problems with the setting WSH panel and Playlists.
So I'll try to keep that in mind for any future release.

Do you miss something very important, using the portable method for a while? At least the time to see if lastFOOdly is adapted for you or not?

Ok if anyone is interested. I changed some bits to my own liking. First the album rating is different, I use gold discs instead of stars to indicate a rating from 0 to 10. When the albumgroup is collapsed a spherical flag is displayed instead of a heart for album rating. When the albumgroup is open a country flag (rectangular) and a codec image is dislpayed.

I installed this skin but when I run foobar the first time, after choose ColumnUI I can't see lastFOOdly skin but the default skin with this error:

Code: [Select]
Failed to load DLL: foo_quicksearch.dll
Reason: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.


Can you help me?

Using Portable mode installation should solve had solved the problem.

look at the screenshot

then replace this
Code: [Select]
//------------------------->DRAW ARTIST THUMBNAILS
$puts(gp.art.T,6)
$puts(gp.art.size,$sub($mul(%el_group_row%,%el_row_height%),12))
$puts(gp.art.L,$sub(%el_width%,%BG.E.RIGHT%,$get(gp.art.size),3))

$drawrect($sub($get(gp.art.L),3),$sub($get(gp.art.T),3),$add($get(gp.art.size),6),$add($get(gp.art.size),6),,$get(Hline.color),)
$albumart($get(gp.art.L),$get(gp.art.T),$get(gp.art.size),$get(gp.art.size),1,artist $get(aspect.op),,,)


by this
Code: [Select]
//------------------------->DRAW ARTIST THUMBNAILS
$puts(gp.art.T,6)
$puts(gp.art.H,$sub($mul(%el_group_row%,%el_row_height%),12))
$puts(gp.art.W,$mul($get(gp.art.H),1))
$puts(gp.art.L,$sub(%el_width%,%BG.E.RIGHT%,$get(gp.art.W),3))

$drawrect($sub($get(gp.art.L),3),$sub($get(gp.art.T),3),$add($get(gp.art.W),6),$add($get(gp.art.H),6),,$get(Hline.color),)
$albumart($get(gp.art.L),$get(gp.art.T),$get(gp.art.W),$get(gp.art.H),0,artist $get(aspect.op),,,)


You also will notice if you mind to read the note in the zip, that you miss some icon/functionality/font. (red circles and ellipse).

How do I prevent it from writing lyrics tags? I have tried everything to stop if from doing so but have had no luck. Even though foo_uie_lyrics2 is set to not save, it still tags the file.

My bad. When I build the config skin, i was too lazy to script a track info panel that will show my comment tag or my discogs's track credits.
So I've use another instance of lyrics panel that refer to those tags. And i've forgot to prevent it from saving tag.
See the screenshot and tell me if that helps you, otherwise, i have no idea where the trouble can come from.

That's how I have it set. No worries. I'll keep playing with it.

Thanks for the reply and sharing your work.

Edit: I should have checked before asking for help. I'm new at this. There was 3 instances of Lyrics 2 in the CUI layout. I deleted them except for the one controlling the panel on the side. Everything is okay now.

Where is my mind? Yep, you are right, 3 instances, not 2 as i said in the post before.
The third is (was, in your case)in the "Album Flow" Tab, and come to replace track list when Lyrics are present, automaticaly (if "Auto" is turned ON).

I've never tried a config before but this one is too tempting. I was just wondering if this will make foobar too slow and also if crashing is an issue.
Thanks.

Slower, for sure. Too slow? it depends on each one.
And crashing?... try, and you'll see.

It's very stable for me, no crashes at all. If you have a big library it can get a bit slow, especially on startup. Since my machine works 24/7 there's no need to shutdown f2k at all, so I can use it comfortably with my 50k library.

It's stable for me as well. I don't have a huge collection, so it's not slow at all. Even when in the default, full featured mode. The layout has many options though. That's why it's become one of my favorites. It can suit the needs of many. I have mine set up to be less intense but still informative and functional.

I added a lastfm love button and lastfm playount using Marc2003's scripts. The 'hotness' feature works with lastfm playcount.

Your Chrome icon is so cute . Could you share it to me. Thanks.

Sorry for off topic.

I've already implemented a "Charts Tab", that will be on next release.
This tab display, on left, LastFM charts statistics, and on rigth, LovedTracks Playlist (all rated tracks, sorted by rate).

But i miss a "love button" a la Marc2003. I will see if i can implement it somwhere.

Your red Heart Icon is cool, but if you prefer one that match with the rest of the config, here you have the link to the one that I use for the "charts tab"

Very nice and thanks for the icons. The red did kind of throw things off even though it was slight.

What I'm trying to figure out now is how to turn the History panel into a Last.fm info panel (similar artists especially).

Can you more specific? maybe i can help (not next week, i'll be without connection).
If you mean that you would like to make "active" the existing history panel (on right side/right panel) it is very easy:
add this action to you "panel stack splitter" button:
Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%_SP.EXPANDED%,0,SETGLOBAL:_SP.TYPE:2;SETGLOBAL:_SP.EXPANDED:1,$if($not($strcmp(%_SP.TYPE%,2)),SETGLOBAL:_SP.TYPE:2,SETGLOBAL:_SP.EXPANDED:0))

but, i'm sure you are not talking about something that easy

When you utilize marc2003's scripts, the file properties gets some added last.fm data.

http://i28.tinypic.com/2i9a8y.jpg

I'd like to display that data in the history panel in place of the info that's currently there.

kabuki's lastFOOdly config

Reply #47 –
nope, that isn't me. all that last.fm data is provided by ssenna's foo_uie_biography component. my script only uses customdb for the playcount.

you should be able to access that using these title formatting fields (as per the manual)

%lastfm_bio%
%lastfm_similar_artist%
%lastfm_artist_playcount%
%lastfm_artist_listeners%
%lastfm_album_playcount%,
%lastfm_album_listeners%,
%lastfm_album_content%

My bad. I didn't notice the info until after I started using your scripts. I just assumed that's how the info was being populated.

I've been a long time user of Foobar but a noobie when it comes to fiddling around with it. Thanks for the info. Back to work.
