Awhile back my foobar crashed and since then the arrows I had in the "Pos." column have stopped animating. Just one shows instead of going from -> to ->-> to ->->-> to ->->->-> as shown in the screenshot below. What'd I'd like to figure out is how to get the animation back. Using 0.8.3 with columns 0.1.2

here's the code that's in the "Display" tab:

// DO NOT change anything here !

// for configuration, see the "Globals"-tab !

// ============================================

$if($or(%_isplaying%,%_ispaused%),

%_standard_color_high%

$select($add(1,$mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4)),⇢,⇢⇢,⇢⇢⇢,⇢⇢⇢⇢)

$char(9)

,

$if($strcmp(%_days_since_play%,0),%_standard_color_low%)

$char(9)%_standard_color_low%$pad_right(%_playlist_number%,4)

)

I think you need to check "Show dynamic info (...) in playlist" in Preference -> Display.

:o wow!!, would you mind posting your config?, i totally loved the way you made it look

tnx in advance

you need:

column ui

navigator suite config (for column ui)

tabbed panel

album art

track info (optional)

-extract all into foobar2000/component folder

-go to preference > display, change user interface module to column ui, restart foobar2000

-go to preference > display > column ui > other tab > click Import and load navigator suite config

to add album art and tabbed panel into the toolbar, go to preference > display > column ui > other tab > select list all toolbars

unlock the toolbar, click it and add panel > album art, layout > tabbed panel stack, adjust their minimum height (in preference)

:)

with 0.9 beta I'm using this in Playlist -> Sort -> Sort by...

$if($stricmp($left(%album artist%,4),'the '),$replace(%album artist%,$left(%album artist%,4),,),%album artist%)|%date% - %album%|[%disc%|]$tracknumber()

I don't use autoplaylist :p

Thanks - I'm now using this code:

$if(%tracknumber%,2,1)|$puts(album_artist,$if2($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)))$puts(album_artist,$if($strcmp($left($get(album_artist),4),'The '),$replace($get(album_artist),$left($get(album_artist),4),,),$get(album_artist)))$get(album_artist)|$if2(%date% - %album%,%album)|[%disc%]|$num(%tracknumber%,9)

@acedriver: thanks very much...now it works fine...but got some questions:

1-How i can choose which album art that appears?

2-How can i set the settings for the best photo resolution that appears in the album art?

3-If i want to choose the looking of the buttons too, how can i do that?

Thanks for the great help...

I know this is a little random but I've made a little code for my album list panel and I was wondering if anyone could perhaps clean it up a little. I'm quite new to the fb2k strings.

$if2(Category: %category%,Other)|$if3(%subcategory%,...%category%,)|$puts(album_artist,$if2($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)))
$puts(album_artist,
$if($strcmp($left($get(album_artist),4),'The '),
$replace($get(album_artist),$left($get(album_artist),4),,),
$get(album_artist)))$if(%tracknumber%,$get(album_artist),...Singles)|$puts(album_artist,$if2($meta(album artist),$meta(artist)))
$puts(album_artist,
$if($strcmp($left($get(album_artist),4),'The '),
$replace($get(album_artist),$left($get(album_artist),4),,),
$get(album_artist)))$if(%tracknumber%,$if3(%date% - %album%,%album%,),$get(album_artist))|[Disc %disc%]

In the preference for the album art, you can choose the location(s) where the album art is looked for.

the button is posted here

the change it, go to preferences > column ui > other tab > select use custom buttons and bitmap includes mouseover images

- Download the *.png files (preferrably somewhere in your /foobar2000/ folder)

- Preferences > Display > ColumnsUI > 'Other' Tab > check where it says "Use custom buttons" and then click the little ... next to it, and pick your desired .png buttons file.

- Save preferences, restart foobar. :D

can sum 1 help me move my track info plugin 2 the top of my foobar instead of it being on the silly sidebar because it wont let me move it :(

Slight mod of TheUndead's config. :)

I'm trying out Foobar. :D Not so bad as I've always thought. How do I get the satusbar like in this image?

Also, how do I get a grid in the playlist and change the color of border, background and text on select?

If grid isn't possible maybe someone know how to get every 2nd line darker like in the image above.

The playlist is rendered using the plugin columns ui.

Download the latest version from this website and put it in the components folder in your foobar2000 directory.

Then enable it in the preferences dialog - click on foobar2000->preferences->display and change the user interface module to columns ui, and restart foobar2000.

I'm not an expert on writing my own formatting scripts but the best option is probably to use one from this site as a starting point. Import it into fb2k again using the prefs dialog.

EDIT: I've attached my config, which is a modified version of azrael - hope it comes in useful. Change the extension to .fcs before importing it

^That was not the style I was looking for at all. :p I'm glad I exported my old settings before I applied it. :)

I've installed the Colums plugin the only thing I need to know is the scripting. Which seems a bit complicated, wtf are the squared boxes? :huh:

EDIT: I managed to fix the statusbar, only the playlist left. :p

Sorry em3, I know its not exactly what you wanted but it gives an idea of what can be done...

I'm not very familiar with the scripting but the hydrogenaudio forums or the columns ui wiki might shed some light!

A lot of the formatting strings also have options in the globals section - for example the alternate dark bands you had mentioned. In fact in the format I attached to my last post, if you append -s- to the name of the playlist, it is treated as a list of singles and there are alternate light and dark bands.

The best way to find out more is probably to look at other people's work and try tinkering with it.

I'm also not too sure what square boxes you're referring to. Can you post a screenshot?

EDIT: Usually there are square boxes when a character isn't available in a particular font - eg unicode symbols in an ansi font
