@musicmusic:

I've got another little request (I hope you're still interested in developing this plugin?)

Would it be possible to add function "AutoCENTER", which would center the song just like double click on status panel does (if you click it when the song is not visible)... Something which would look like the playlist was moving, not the 'cursor'.

Thanks in advance

Hi musicmusic,

I'm using your great plug-in foo_scroll but there is one small thing I want to suggest:

Your plug-in works great but only if Foobar is not minimized to tray. If I minimize Foobar and open it again later the current track is not selected automatically.
Could it be possible to add this feature? This would be very nice!

Best regards,
Vegeta

Umh... no no no, the thing I'm talking about is much simpler, the only problem is that I can't describe exactly what I want (and it's REALLY simple, trust me )... and I think it should be implemented in foo_scroller, not in the UI (it just... fits to this plugin).

Ok, so when I say "centered", I mean something like that:
1. Open playlist with 100 tracks (and resize the window so you can see only 30 of them, or so).
2. Press play on 74th track.
3. Press page up (or something else) so you can't see the currently playing song.
4. Use "Current track -> Focus+Highlight" (from foo_scroller), or double click the status bar.
5. The currently playing (or highlighted, to be more specific) song is (vertically) "centered" on the list of the files.

Now, do the same thing, but with the song that IS VISIBLE on the list (skip point 3):
1. Open playlist...
2. Press play on, let's say, 15th track...
3. Press "next"... press "next" once more..... and "next" again.... and again......
4. As you press "next", the highlight moves to the next song. When the highlight reaches the end of the list of visible tracks (and it's not the end of the playlist), the list "moves up" - and the track is "centered". Then again only the highlight is moving (on "next").

What I want is the option to automatically center the song on the list ("On new track"), no matter if it was visible or not...

I would also appreciate this feature
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=250272"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

//on playlist change:
    int idx = playlist_oper::get()->get_now_playing();
    if (idx != -1)
     playlist_oper::get()->set_focus(idx);

Feature request:
On playlist change: focus the playing track in the new playlist (if present).

Why:
If I'm playing a track in one of my "chart" playlists, I often want to find the album this track belongs to in the "complete albums" playlist. And vice versa. This feature would make it possible to just change to the appropriate playlist to see it, as the current track would be focused if present.

I did this (as a side effect) in one of my own plugins, but I don't use that plugin anymore (never quite finished it either). I could probably make a simple plugin myself, but that would be a single-feature-plugin named foo_scoll_addon or something. Hence I would rather see it as a feature in foo_scroll itself.

Code example of what I want:

Code: [Select]

//on playlist change:
    int idx = playlist_oper::get()->get_now_playing();
    if (idx != -1)
     playlist_oper::get()->set_focus(idx);

Btw: I posted in this thread as it's a kind of "conditional scrolling".

Sorry for reposting here... But I can't seem to get foo_scroll to automatically scroll to my currently playing track.

Total n00b here, any help is greatly appreciated!

upNorth, I added it to version 0.1.3 (see menu item "Playlists/Scroller/Refocus on playlist switch").

But, it just uses the action you set for "On new track", since I didn't want to add more bloat to the menu. It also obeys "Autofocus requires no selection", I wasn't sure if that would suit you or not, I'll try and sort it out if not.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that you added this feature. smile.gif

There is only one detail I would like to change, and that is that it should be independent of the "On new track" action. Most of the time I don't want anything to happen on_playback_new_track() *. I just want it to kick in when I change playlist. So, I don't want any additions to the menu, just remove that dependence.


I also like the fact that it obeys "Autofocus requires no selection".

Here is an example of what I would like to have checked/eneabled for my everyday use:
-Autofocus enabled
-On new track->Do nothing
-Autofocus requires no selection
-Refocus on playlist switch

* I usually browse around my playlists a lot, for example looking for good tracks, and it's annoying when it suddenly jumps to focus the new track.
