It only appeared when I upgraded Columns UI. Even with a new Columns UI preset *only* containing NG Playlist, it still appears.

I can tell you that it's not Columns UI causing it.


you seem pretty full of yourself. you are of course wrong.   

(you can turn off the "status pane" via the view menu)

it's "menu > view > show status pane"

I'm trying to figure out the formatting for the Filter field under Columns UI to sort my dates by descending...

you can't make that easily, as there isn't any option for that, although you can do tricks with inserting some title formattings before $date(%added%) with $rgb() foreground as your background

eh, very slow now

not sure I see what you mean here. I tried adding $rgb($date(%added%)) and that just caused everything to disappear from my filter.

idea was something like: $rgb(0,0,0,64,128,128)$sub($right($replace($date(%added%),-,),6),200000)$rgb()$date(%added%)

or better

i did have a script that did this but after a reinstall of foobar i lost it.

PS: i hope im posting in the right area as im using Columns UI and this seems like the Columns UI thread.

go to CUI preferences > playlist view > grouping: double click the script and append this at the end:
[ / %discnumber%]

Columns UI

OK, I think you need this:
Code: [Select]
%album artist%[ / %album%][ / %discnumber%]


You probably get various artists grouped by track, right? Only make sure you have filled %album artist% tag

Is it possible to create a column showing days since file was added?

Just need a number e.g. 5 days

It is, by making date info available in Globals, where you can do the math then call $get_global() from your column

Thanks 2E7AH for the hint.

Skipped math by copying code from Natural Language Timestamps

Working fine

EDIT:
Modded your Colored Recentness to work with above.
Easy to find tracks now with colored numbers.

A suggestion to improve usability:

Allow the grouping in the playlist to be toggled from the main UI, without having to go into the settings.  (Similarly to how artwork display can be toggled.)

Sometimes grouping just gets into the way (randomized playlist, podcast playlist sorted by date, etc.), but other times it's quite useful.

Is it possible to have the artist filter sorted like this:



?

Is there a way setting typefind to match beginning of any word in %title% instead beginning of whole %title% string?
Query matches too general

Hello everyone!

I love Columns UI and achieved a nice minimalist UI thanks to it. But the Win7 taskbar peek controllers are bugging me hardcore. How can I get rid of them?

Thank you.

what exactly is bugging you?
- you can disable windows aeropeek
- you can't change playback buttons on thumbnail preview from foobar preferences
- you can download additional component for windows 7 shell integration

Thank you for your reply.

This:

is bugging me. Sad to hear I can't remove it from foobar preferences. Is there any other way?

those 16 px buttons looks blurry and it seems that they are just resized from 256 px source
I think poster has his point

Hello,
Sorry if my question is obvious, but i didn't find the way to perform a search on the topic...
The default sort setting is on the folder path.
How can I switch to artist / album / tracknumber ?
Cheers
