Re: Text Display (foo_textdisplay)
Reply #184 –
I've ran into a couple of issues with the Text Display component. It doesn't 'repaint' if the panel size/dimension changes due to a resizing of the Foobar window.
When text is centered it doesn't recenter, and when text is aligned left or right, word wrapping doesn't rewrap if panel dimension changes.
Both of these features work here (Windows 8.1, foobar2000 v1.3.9, Text Display 1.1 beta 1). Which version of Windows do you use? Can you provide a minimal layout (fth file) which reproduces the behaviour?
The component does not have special treatment for non-standard tags. I don't know enough about the Discogs component to tell why they tags might temporarily vanish. Can you observe this effect with any other UI element, e.g. Selection properties, or in the status bar?
The component does not detect URLs and turn them into clickable links. The link color on the settings window refers to the links created by the components $applink, $doclink and $cmdlink functions. You can use the $doclink function to create a clickable link from a URL, for example
$doclink(Hydrogenaudio Forum,https://hydrogenaud.io/)$crlf()
$doclink(Artist Homepage,%artist_url%)$crlf()
$doclink(Search for Artist,https://www.google.com/#q=$urlencode(%artist%))$crlf()
Links have to be on a line by their own, just like dimmed and highlighted text.
