When the active playlist is an autoplaylist, the right-click menu of 'Send to New Playlist' is grayed out. Can it be modified to be clickable?

Hi!
First of all thank you for all of your effort and work!
Your tree is an essential element of my foobar! I'm really loving it :)!

As I updated last week your component, a sorting problem with the track numbers occured... and also releases with more than two discs do not display as usually.
I checked various other sources for this problem but it really seems to correlate with your component.
Propably it has something to do if someone uses one or two digit for tracknumbers.
To illustrate the problem; two screens!

I just overwrote the blank entry "Playlist: custom sort" in the properties with a sort order to my mind and now everything is fine!

Ah, yes!
Thank you! Now everything is like it was and should be!

glad too see a config that still use my playlist JScript viewer ;-)

Great to see you back! I hope this means you have some new treats in store?! :D

Your script was ported to SMP panel as well, but could use your touch.

just get back my true account :) ...

I'd like to give a look at this SMP panel, could you tell me where to get the port of my playlist script to this panel please, just to see what is to migrate from JScript Panel and win some time ?

Just install SMP and you will find it in the Samples folder: foobar2000\user-components\foo_spider_monkey_panel\samples

already looking forward to modding my layout! ;)

@Falstaff , latest versions of all your (ported and modified) scripts can be found here (in folders `jsplaylist-mod` and `js-smooth`): https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/tree/master/component/samples

Sorry for the offtop, WilB.

I've fixed the issue of 'Send to New Playlist' being grayed out when active playlist is an autoplaylist, for the next version.

This performs incredibly fast. Changing settings is a hassle though, lots of right clicking and navigating through context menus. A settings dialog box would be way better if possible.

One of the other problems I'm having is how I'd like to split these branches. I have the Columns UI Library Tree which works closer to how I want. Still not completely and it's abandoned anyway. It allows me to create multiple views that can all be seen at once instead of having to change views. I've attached a screenshot of what I mean. Genre/Subgenre, Tagging, and Library are all views I've created. Can this be done with this? I'm also trying to make a view that splits my top level branches as:
Code: [Select]
>Artists
    *Artist1
    *Artist2
>Albums
    *Album1
    *Album2
but this is the part I couldn't figure out in the one I linked either.

I found an annoying error in the script (I think so). If the tag field name contains the character ⧸ it automatically gives a pause to the tag (see screen). If instead of ⧸ I use / this problem does not occur.

My sample code
Code: [Select]
[ ($and($meta(LABEL),$meta(CATALOG NUMBER)),'['%LABEL% %CATALOG NUMBER%']',$if2(['['%LABEL%']'],['['%CATALOG NUMBER%']']))]

Library Tree 2.1.3
Please take a look at it

As far as I am aware dialogue boxes aren't an in built feature of Spider Monkey Panel. So they would need coding from scratch which is a lot of effort. If there was some generic code that could be used may be in due course.

The next version will have a settings button which may help.

Sorry but the other feature isn't supported.

@Tropoje

Sorry but looking at your picture I can't see what the problem is. I tried that character quickly and all seemed OK.

Re: Library Tree Discussion

@WilB , you can use HTML to create dialog boxes via ShowHtmlDialog. Of course, one would still need to write the whole dialog, but it is much easier (IMO) than doing it through ActiveX.

Re: Library Tree Discussion

If there was some generic code that gives a nice tabbed dialogue box, so one can easily just changes the entries  in a manner analogous to panel properties then may be.

For the time being I suspect that the new settings button in the next version will suffice.

I'm gonna be tackling that idea very shortly, but no promises on the results. The biggest issue will be dynamic sizing of the dialog which may not be possible.

Honestly might be better to just start with some text/checkbox style controls and just draw them in an on_paint. That gives the most flexibility. but also involves the most coding. You've already done some of that work with your search input, so I might go down that route for a bit and see where it leads, if the HTML stuff proves to be too much of a pain.

Thank you for this component, it's very fast! I love the now playing filter feature.

Feature idea/request: allow specifying multiple tags at the same branch level that will create multiple entries... For example the first tree level could be %<artist>%OR%<album artist>%, where OR is some divider. Then under the The Beatles node, for example, you will see albums where album artist = The Beatles, and also any tracks where artist=The Beatles from other albums (without duplicate entries where album artist == artist == The Beatles)

I've added a soft splitter to my copy that should do what you want. It should be in the next version unless anything unforeseen arises.

It seems to work very well, and for example in a simple form also allows combining album artist & artist style views into a single view:

%album artist%¦%artist%

1) Tracks on compilations are kept together by grouping under Various Artists
2) Artists on compilations also display under the artist name

Both display on the same level.

^ My favorite feature from Facets. This is brilliant! Thanks WilB. :)

Would it work with splitting multi-value tags?  %<genre>%|%<style>% (using the angled brackets)

I am using Eole app with with a lot of customizations which makes it difficult to just update without a lot of work. My problem is something like  $replace($directory_path(%path%),\,|)|%filename_ext% dont work. Could you post that part of your code that changed from about v1.3.3 to v1.3.6 to make it work. Thanks

@WilB don't know if you saw the note from @snotlicker on known issues at JScript Panel V2.5.0 b4 with Library Tree (see here). Any chance to still maintain Library Tree as well for JScript Panel (e.g. for Georgia)?

Re: Library Tree Discussion

Reply #297 –
Georgia is being updated for SMP so you should wait for that.

Since it's a single panel layout, it's not trivial to integrate any updated version of Library Tree in to it. The developer of Georgia won't do it and no one else would know how even if they wanted to. It's very complex as opposed to going in its own panel. Another aspect of it being single panel is that you simply don't need the latest version of JSP. If you don't have the skills to read the changelog/breaking changes wiki page and fix it yourself, you're not going to gain anything else from running the latest version.

edit: I've attached a fixed version for Georgia which goes in js\CaTRoX_QWR

I'm not fixing the standalone version because the SMP version is far superior. It's one of the few scripts that actually benefits from the faster internals provided by the Mozilla JS engine and I believe its sorting mechanisms have been optimised as well. Since JSP now requires Windows 7 like SMP does, there is no reason not to use it.

@snotlicker: thanks very much!!
Adapted 2 lines, 2558:
Code: [Select]
n = lib_manager.node[pos][l]; else
and 3672:
Code: [Select]
p.pos = get_pos; else
now seems to run stable on JSP 2.5.0 b4 including embedded Library Tree. Shows only CD art in my case, but for now that is great for me!
For stand-alone Library Tree, I am already on SMP.
Thanks again for continuously developing JSP!
