Now, there seems to be a bug with "Colours and Fonts": "Selected item" uses the "Item" colour, and it can't be changed.
Fixed in v2, thanks for the report.

Is support for multiple field values implemented yet?
For now such construction works
Code: [Select]
$if($meta_test(style),$meta(style,$char(13)),Unknown Style)

But it feels like "undocumented feature".
Erm, where exactly are you using this where it works? Do you mean $meta_sep??

You can use multiple values per field in the filter panel, just not with title formatting.

Feature request.
"Tag not found" value for filter panels. To avoid "?" values and strings like one in this post.
I can add something if you aren't using title formatting. If you're are using titleformatting it's easy enough and doesn't have to be complicated:
Code: [Select]
$if2(%artist%,<no artist>)
Titleformatting scripts don't refer to specific fields, so outside the script the only concept of an "empty field" is an empty formatted string.

when ever I add a new field in filter options there is a super slow redraw of all filter panels I have.

only using 3 so seems very strange...

thx for the edge styling option been waiting long time

Sorry if this has been answered, but is there a way to use multiple queries for a filter panel? In facets, you can use | to get multiple rules. Is there something similar for the filters?

Hey! Great changes so far! Thanks a lot for your work!

2 Questions concerning the filter panel:

1.) in the latest alpha the filters are always set back to the first fields in the list (first 3 in my case as i have 3 panels) when i restart foobar. in previous versions every panel remembered the field it was assigned. is this change of behaviour intended?

2.) You once thought about making the priority of the panels depending on their relative position instead of depending on the order of the fields in the list. Is this still in the roadmap?!

It should take about the same time as it does on startup (which is written to the console). So how slow is slow? It does refresh more panels than is needed which I'll try and optimise.

No, it's not possible. Can you tell me in what scenario you would find this useful?

Ooops no. Should be fixed in v3, thanks for the report

For example, I use a facet as basically a way to make autoplaylist queries without having to crowd my playlist list.

Here's one ive been using that just has a bunch of lists that I find useful as an alternative to autoplaylists:

$ifequal(%ipod%,1,Transfer to iPod,)|$if($stricmp($info(codec),MP3),MP3,NOT MP3)|$ifgreater($strstr(%path%,'\Singles\'),0,Singles,)|$repeat(?,%rating%)

In retrospect, I guess I could do this with playlist_tree or something.

The problem is that I use Style panel which refers to %style% multiple values tag. There are tracks that don't have this tag. And I'd like to get them into my list as an "Unknown Style".

Hi MM, its extremly noticeable, its visual after all.

an example in filter options
I press new > shows new line with highlighted text box to put in new name, I put in anything and press tab or click on the field part.

as soon as this happens my 3 filter panels go in order 1 by 1 going a full refresh/redraw of the contents...

the question is why does it need to do this, shouldnt it only need to redraw if the actual individual filter panel field is changed on the main foobar itself.

the only situation this would require an exception is where you delete a field currently being used by a panel...

either way its not a huge deal but worth mentioning all the same, I know you like to find this kind of stuff out

it might make sense to redraw the panels when the changes in the options are saved (by "save all" or an optional "save settings" in the filter-panel options)
i agree on this being a problem...if you enter a lot of fields it is very frustrating to wait for the panel-redraw everytime...for fun try to move an entry from bottom to top (or the other way around)

Hi,

is it possible to add a "vertical item padding" option for the filter panels (just like the option with the same name for the playlist view) ?
Thanks

I apologise for not doing what I said and continuing the insane version scheme - I felt like adding a couple of new features.

In other words, 0.3 beta 1 preview 1 is released. See changelog for details. Artwork is provided by the core, don't ask me where it gets it from.

btw...how did you manage to make the filter redraw so quick?! was it a bug?

My apologies if this has been requested before, but I didn't see anything on the known requests page.

But with the filter panel, would it be possible to split it into separate columns? For example, if you right click on the header (where you choose the display) could you make a "New Column" entry that will split the current filter panel into 2 so you can view by Artist AND Album in the same filter panel.

Or have an option in the preferences to specify the number of columns we want, and what they show?

Hopefully that makes sense.

Also, loving the new version. Can't seem to get the Art Viewer to work however. Nothing shows up.

As long as it's working correctly, don't worry about it

I added it to the request list, I am not sure if/when I will add it though.

It tracks the playing item. It should show up whatever is embedded or has some particular filename that foobar2000 likes. I tested on Vista SP1 only.

I get a crash after upgrading to 0.3 beta 1 preview 1.

This occurs when I go to Perferences->Columns UI->Filter and attempt to added a new field with Name: Mood Field: mood (I use tab to switch to Field). I have mood "tags" given from foo_custom_info. If I input something else as the field then change it back to mood there is no crash. Inputting %mood% in the field also causes the crash.

Removing foo_autoplaylist stopped the crash (no biggy it's in the core now), but I though it might have shown up a deeper bug considering it was fine with an older version of Columns.

Is the new version incapable of CTRL+F searches? It never works when I attempt to use it with the new version of foobar (9.5.1)
Works fine on the older version however.

Oh, I don't embed my art, and I have it all stored in its own directory, so thats probably why .

Thanks for the report. It's fixed in preview 2, please update. BTW it looks like you have multiple filter "streams" (unlinked filters), not sure if you intended that or not. If not, change the 'Filter precedence' setting to get the behaviour from previous versions back.

Hmm, if you're after playlist search press F3, I didn't add a handler for CTRL-F.

I generally do the same as well so I am also left out

Your new preview version makes my buttons look like this:

Reverting back to previous preview version or 0.2.1 "alpha" stable version fixes it. Those buttons are actually two button toolbars, one is default, another has 2 buttons from foo_navigator.

Thanks for the tip I completely overlooked that option. I can't recreate the crash on Preview 2, keep up the good work.

I added support for fixed artwork repositories in preview 4  So if you store your artwork in a folder in a format like "X:\ArtworkStore\%album artist% - %album%.jpg" you will be able to use this now. If you set this up it is preferred over artwork provided by the core (to avoid rogue folder.jpg files showing up instead). Note: Close the preferences page for the change in settings there to be saved (will take effect on next file played).

I'll add that for final beta 1.

I don't have any plans to add this, sorry, I added it to the request list though.
