Edit: Also found a bug, it think, it seems when resizing the sidebar the playlist isn't redrawn right
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=299596"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Can you elaborate and/or post a  screenshot?


I have the same problem using Win XP.

Steps to reproduce:
- start columns ui as a not-fullsize window
- activate the playlist sidebar
- maximize the window (double click ont titelbar)

-> the playlist sidebar takes not the whole available vertical space
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=299748"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I still can't reproduce this. (What do you mean by activate the playlist sidebar?)

If you rather meant insert a playlist switcher panel into the layout, and then double click on its caption, then that is the window overlapping bug, but it doesn't sound like that is what you meant.

Can someone post a screenshot, and very-specific instructions to reproduce? Thanks.

...if I uncheck it I can resize the headers but the rows in the playlist doesn't follow their headers.

You mean the columns dont follow the columns titles? When you are resizing the columns, or something else?

I can't reproduce the redrawing problem anymore, not sure what caused it...

I used WinSpy++ to check the size of the 'Playlists'-listbox. As you can see from this screenshot its heigth is always 550 pixels.

After that, I removed the playlistswitcher and readded it to the sidebar -> the bug is gone and the listbox has the correct height. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

I wasn't sure if this was a columns_ui error or a foobar 0.9b3  error. I installed the new columns ui ans was checking the settings, trying to figure things out. I was on Prefs --> Columns UI --> Layout. I changed a few settings, to try to figure out what they did. Then I decided I wanted to start from scratch so I hit the "Reset All" button. Foobar immediately crashed and wouldn't open with the start menu shortcut after that. A quick check in the task manager showed that foobar.exe was still running. Ending the process fixed the problem.

I'm using WinXP Pro SP2 with foobar 0.9 installed to the default folder (I uninstalled 0.83 first).

That just looks like the panel is locked - though it shouldn't be by default.

Thanks, actually I just experienced that myself. It is only happening with columns installed so I assume its my fault; Im looking into it now.

Yes, that seems to be the reason fot this 'bug'. Sorry for the inconvenience.


One suggestion:
I think using 'white' as the default color for 'selected text' in playlistswitcher->colors/fonts is a much better idea then using 'black'. You can hardly read black text on blue background. White text on blue background is much more convenient.


Apart from that: Thanks for the great work, the new splitter system is awesome!

Hi, this issue is related to the restart function in foobar and will be fixed in 0.9 beta 4.
Thanks for the report.

The colours default to system values now actually, but that colour was defaulting to the wrong value. This is fixed for the next version; thanks for the report.

I don't think this has been addressed: when I delete a playlist, the playlist view doesn't display the contents of a remaining playlist, but just blankness.  Intentional?

yeah, i think the scripting has changed slightly in the new foobar + columns. We should probably start a new columns scripts thread..

I was wondering about the prudence of that...I mean, how much can we expect things to change between these betas and the finals?  Would it even be worth our time to start writing new .fcs configs?

Warning: This is pre-alpha, so likely has major bugs, and has uncomplete features. Use with plenty caution.

- added $set_style function in colour string, to replace existing colour string syntax when fully implemented

Hmm, actually I guess that isn't a good idea just yet.

Thats what i'm thinking as well and the reason why i haven't started any porting yet. Some nice things are in the pipeline, but the dev-environment for writing FCSs feels too unstable for my taste to start any real effort yet.

Finally, the words alpha and beta get their real meaning here - the current bleeding edge-state of fb2k is for testing - not for relying on it.

I was wondering if there would be the possibility to have the column playlist in two parts (with a horizontal splitter), parameterized with different "sources" for each instance, for example :
- the upper part would be displaying e.g. history, playback queue, DB search result
- the lower part would be "normal" (controlled by the playlist switcher) ....

It would be awesone ....

Wow! I wasn't expecting to see a Foobar 0.9-compatible version of Columns UI for awhile yet! Thanks!

The cleanup of the preferences is greatly appreciated too.

Drag and drop support in the Layout tab might be a nice idea.

It is intentional. Also, in the current alpha there's a bug related to this: if you ctrl+tab to switch playlists when there are none, foobar will crash. This bug has been fixed for the next version.

Known, but not really intentional. I'll change that for the next release.

Legacy support should have enabled itself, but it seems there is a bug so that "use globals.." isnt also enabled (when importing an old fcs). This will be corrected for the next release.

[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=300020"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Possibly due to the new field remappings. You can use $meta() to access raw metadata now. See the [a href="http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference]0.9 beta 3 titleformatting reference[/url] for more information.

I have no intention of breaking compatibility from 0.1.2 (there is 'enable legacy mode' for 0.1.2-style global string, that is checked automatically when loading a 0.1.2 fcs file). But, field remappings may limit compatibility. Also, support for the old old style global string is dropped. The other current issue is that when importing an fcs file made with 0.1.2, 'enable global vars' may need to be manually checked.
