Would it be possible to add support for %_isplaying% in the display string?
It would be nice to make the current track stand out, when searching for similar tracks.

It should be possible to add this. (And no, it is not an old feature. )

Is it possible to make the "Track focus in playlist" also work for playlists other  than the active playlist? (so that it switches to another playlist if the song is present on any of the playlists that are loaded in foobar)

I have a suggestion for this otherwise helpful plug-in.

I love everything about it except for having to navigate the mouse to select the results from a search I want to play/cue. Why not just type in a search, hit Shift+CTRL+DOWN to select all of the results and then CTRL+ENTER to play them directly. Just being picky...

This might be possible in a future version.

You should be able to press Tab to navigate to the result list. Other than that, Enter, Shift+Enter, and Ctrl+Enter can also be used from outside the resultlist, in which case they affect all items. Of these three keyboard shortcuts, only Enter is configurable right now, but this is subject to change.

Is development still underway on this excellent and extremely useful component? What features are planned for the next update. Apparently, it has not been updated since May...

See this post for a list of planned features (near the bottom). Some of them have already been implemented, but I'm currently focusing on getting foo_history 0.8.0 ready for final.

right now, foo_history 0.8.0 is an RC2 (2nd release candidate)...
this stage is supose to give some "mileage" with testers to assure nothing is wrong.
if so (no bugs showing up), a final version 0.8.0 is released.

The playlist search plugin has been adapted to fit into a columns_ui panel
Will this plugin get similar treatment?

Is there any interest for this in the HA community?

EDIT: Sorry I saw your plans for this plugin earlier in this thread. I'm looking forward to seeing the next version!!!
EDIT2: As I understand it you are not planning to impliment the columns_ui thing because of design problems....hmmmm what if it looked like this

The dropdown would consist of "All", "Artists", "Album", and "Song titles". The Filter string in "TEXT FIELD" would then have a 1 sec delay for filtering and if the results are over 50 the results would not display and instead a message of "too many search results" or better yet just display the first results that fit in the box and then the bottom line would be "...more" or something like that.

I know you have stated that you are not implimenting this so please if you are still firm on this ignore my post altogether. It's just the final step towards foobar2000/columns_ui UTOPIA!

Thanks for your attention.

Again: I love this excellent plugin! Despite the fact that I (still) would love to see a result output that's similar to the playlist output of ColumnsUI, I personally wish for an option to choose to which playlist a song should be sent - and YES I know there is the "send to playlist" option, but I'm speaking of a default action... 


Would this be possible? Thank you very much - and again: Keep up the great work!

foo_dbsearch 1.3.0wip
This version is still work in progress. I post it here because it fixes the crash bug when you try to choose an item from the system menu of the search window, and because it could still take some time until I manage to finish the new version.

Apart from fixing the aforementioned crash bug, this version has the following new features:
  • cleaned up preferences
  • ability to search the history with foo_history 0.8.0
Other things to be expected for 1.3.0 are support for tooltips in the resultlist and an API to control the search window (already partially implemented).

Last but not least, the download link:
foo_dbsearch-1.3.0wip.zip

Try [a href="http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uzbs/fb2k/foo_utils/foo_utils-0.4.0.zip]this version[/url] of foo_utils. I've had this thing lying around for some time, but was a bit reluctant to actually release it. The way it handles dynamically generated menu commands is not what I'd desire, yet it is about the best that can be done with the current version of foobar2000. foo_utils 0.4.0 offers several ways to directly send tracks to an existing playlist, but you have enable them in the preferences first ("Components/Playlist tools"). Hm, and discussion about foo_utils should take place in the appropriate thread.


@jokull:
For now I'll focus on further developing the existing search window. With the advent of 1.3.0 final, it should be possible to use the search engine of foo_dbsearch even in other plugins, i.e. create different front ends (even ones that are realized as panels). Whether such a panel is coded by myself or someone else remains to be seen.

The system menu is the menu that appears when you rightclick on the titlebar of a popup or application window. It contains commands to close, move, resize, minimize or maximize a window (so-called system commands).

This plug seems to sort on %date% field and also on History fields in history search so that the oldest entries are listed first, newest last. Could it be possible to alter this?

I like the way the "format" drop down list works now. More convenient for everyday use when you don't have to aim for the arrow.

Problem:
When I tried to edit one of my own "format presets", by double clicking the name in preferences, it resulted in a crash and the following failure.txt.
After restarting foobar it worked just fine though.


[OT]You seem to prefer the "new" formatting syntax (e.g. $meta(artist) instead of %artist%). Is there any speed benefits or other advantages?[/OT]

%artist% truncates multi-line values, $meta(artist) does not. I figured you'd get a more complete search result this way. Well, artist may not be a good example for this, but still...

Hello foosion, is it possible to search case sensitive? (on "match prefix")

Just wondering, could you make an option to automatically bring the database search window to the front and give it focus when it is invoked? I like to use a global hotkey to open it even when foobar is minimized, and it often pops up under other windows and I have to click to give it focus, which is kind of annoying. Thanks

nevermind, I did it myself with a bit of resource hacking. At least it seems to be working nicely now.
