Im hoping to completely remove the sidebar by 0.1.3, with the new configurable layout replacing it.


Meh, I really like the sidebar, but I'll trust your judgement  .

You will still beable to have the equivilent of the sidebar, except not be limited to having it on the left.

Hopefully He'll add the ability to treat the main playlist as a panel, so we'll get the ultimate freedom [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=292817"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Yes, that change has been made already

Actually, I'd like to see the "columns" part of columns UI divorced from the main component. You could then retain the awesome panel framework, global vars, .fcs, and whatnot, but have a completely modular playlist component. Call it foo_ui_panels and foo_uie_columns respectively or something like that
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=292817"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I could separate the components, but to be honest it will just leave a lack of fail-safe defaults, and an updating mess.

I'd like to download and print the columns_ui documentation (as I did with playlist_tree and others plugin): is there a printer friendly version of it?

Or, at least, a 'one big html' to not have to spend hours in clicking on links to pages, then print, then go back, then click again.... etc.

Thanks.

Unfortunately its not possible to do that ATM. I'll try and look into if any addon or something for the wiki exists to do something like that.

I would like to see the ColumnsUI-interface providing ColumnsUI-variables (a stack of all $puts()), so that the ColumnsUI-variables can also be used by its panels e.g. trackinfo -  would be neat at least.

ATM you have to configure everything twice (even though copy & paste is your best friend)

edit: ATM...

Your talking about global variables, right? Yeh I suppose so, it would be for convienience rather than speed though.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=292769"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Actually, something like a non-trackspecific global string which makes its vars also available to other stuff - may speed up things alot.

FCSs which have stuff like color-schemes - or generally make lots of use with color-calculations (especially the $blend function) - are currently the slowest FCSs. Thats because $blend() and color-calcs is a cpu-hog. However, this is stuff which theoretically only needs to be done once - not for every track.

In other words, FCSs could overload their most resource-hungry code to a non-trackspecific global string.

BTW: if you're playing with implementing global vars which can be used by other stuff - may i provide a slight reminder about the exposed background-color which currently can only be defined manually? Would be cool if there would be a global-var which can be used to override the manual-setting of the exposed bg-color.

thanks for columns ui.

Adjusting exposed bg colour would have to be done via a non-track global string. It may be implement into 0.1.3, Im not sure yet.

It would be useful being able to lock one or more columns to the left while scrolling horizontally. It would even be better to be able to lock ALSO to the right side (I'm thinking of the track length i.e.).
Sometimes it would be useful to have the horizontal scolling work by column and not by pixel. Yes, I know, if you have a very large column it could become clumsy but I think for the most part it would just be better.

About the WIKI.

I'm not an expert so let me ask:

is the wiki a bunch of files?

can we reach the parent dir via web?

perhaps there is some tool around to automatically convert such a structured html doc into a pdf or some other printable format.
I remember there was something around that did the same with help files. But that was just one file.

Feature request (or an explanation if it's just there and I didn,t noticed)

I'd like to be able to change the columns layout according to some infos I have in the tracks (to avoid incosistency, I can add a 'layout' field).
I mean: with classical tracks I want to see some infos that I don't want with modern music. I know I can do this with the playlist filter but I have to plan in advance,have to go in the config and duplicate the columns.
Probably, it would be better having a popup list of different layouts from which I can choose one - classical; jazz; pop/rock; supertagging; wife; etc. - even for on-the-fly playlists (unplanned).

Last, you should really make something to let the playlist variables be available at least in the status bar (_playlist_total etc). It's not the best having to spend a column with 9500 times the same value just to know how many tracks you have in that playlist. And when you are servicing your collection it might be vital.

Thanks.

P.S.  If you need beta testers, I have my PC-jukebox with the finished work on a network and usually do the testing on another machine on the same network and pointing to a backup of the main db so, I think it's the best environment to test.

Bye from a gray and rainy Italy.

Not really eloquently possible. But you can turn on 'auto-sizing' mode and lock the size of those columns, for a similar effect.

I see your point, bit I think it would just be to clumsy in practice.

Yes, it is a bunch of text files, but that is not particulary useful.

I looked around and all I saw was exporting a single page to html/pdf. Not particulary useful, but does get you something more printable. To use the html export feature, add ?do=export_html to the end of the url (e.g. http://music.morbo.org/wiki/columns_ui:col...?do=export_html )

Basically preset support? It would be nice but I dont think it will be in 0.1.3 unfortunately.

It would only be shown on the status bar when a track is playing though. You could just highlight them all and goto properties.

You have seriously got to practice actually reading the replies you get, instead of just asking your questions over and over. But OK now, everything's fine if you found what you wanted. Just pay attention in the future, and remember that important, up-to-date information is almost always located in the first post of the thread.

Sorry, I can't figure this out. In Columns UI, I'm trying to make a track # column I created sort numerically (so, when sorted by that column, I'll get track 1, 2, 3, 4... instead of track 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4...). I don't see any function to pad %TRACKNUMBER% with leading zeroes.

Hi. I just discovered the beauty of the UI collumn today downloaded a bunch of compenents and got them working for the most part. Very good stuff big thumbs up to all those programmers and members that put in the effort to create and hone them. I have a question now though. Is it possible to change the colors of the Foobar window? I'm thinking it is something controlled by windows itself.

i apologize if this has already been brought up (this thread is intimidatingly huge and hard to sift through), but could there please be a HEX->RGB color converted as well as the RGB->HEX one?

it's nice to use hex values and avoid fewer parentheses, but once i do that, i need to go to some website or use some graphics program to locate the color on RGB again.

Columns UI

Reply #1847 –
XDrop is a fine tool to remember used colors - the given Hex-value has to be changed as foobar doesn't use RGB but BGR (so FF0000 (red) becomes 0000FF - don't know why Peter did it like that ).
