TheUndead Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hello Fellow Foobar Friends :happy: I'm looking to make my own toolbar buttons to use with columns_ui but I don't know how to make it. :( Are there any specific guidelines I need to follow? I have been looking at a lot of toolbar images that I have, and all of them vary in sizes (heigh,width). So, if you could help me and tell me how do I go about in making one? Perhaps a psd template a could start with? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter79 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 can someone tell me how to fix the black spaces that are showing up? ...... i've properly tagged them.. No, you haven't. You must give those songs a tracknumber, then it should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em3 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Does anyone have code to show the filename if the ID3 tag isn't present? That is separated Artist - Track. I've made my own code but I think there must be a more efficient way to do this. :huh: CODE FOR ARTIST: $if(%artist%,%artist%, $cut(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%, -))) CODE FOR TITLE: $if(%title%,%title%, $substr($substr(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%,-),$len(%_filename%)),3,$len(%_filename%))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Does anyone have code to show the filename if the ID3 tag isn't present? That is separated Artist - Track. I've made my own code but I think there must be a more efficient way to do this. :huh: CODE FOR ARTIST: $if(%artist%,%artist%, $cut(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%, -))) CODE FOR TITLE: $if(%title%,%title%, $substr($substr(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%,-),$len(%_filename%)),3,$len(%_filename%))) For starters you can use the $if2 function $if2(%artist%, $cut(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%, -))) I'll look at it in more detail later.

Muad'Dib Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 @muad'dib In the preference for the album art, you can choose the location(s) where the album art is looked for. I know that this is the place where i should go to modify the search target for the album art but i dont know how to modify it....Instructions would be appreciated. Thanks for yr effort...:) the button is posted here the change it, go to preferences > column ui > other tab > select use custom buttons and bitmap includes mouseover images Bro u made my day...thanks alot it works now just fine just these album art keeps irritating me.Btw there is another question actually.Is there any feature that forces the foobar to look over the net for the album art if it was not any album art existing in the directory file?

Thanks guy for the help. Foobar2000 strings reference This is probably the place to look if you want to write a script to point to your album art, or anythng else for that matter. Sadly the albumart plugin doesn't look over the web - maybe you could put forward the idea to the developer who can probably be found on the hydrogenaudio forums.

HT2791 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 No, you haven't. You must give those songs a tracknumber, then it should work except, like i said, i do have them tagged. track numbers and album :pinch: eh w/e i'll just keep em blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 except, like i said, i do have them tagged. track numbers and album :pinch: eh w/e i'll just keep em blank As a workaround you can set the playlist background to white - if that doesn't work you'll need to find the part of the config thats giving problems. Do you have the "artist" or "album artist" tags defined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homerz Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Can someone tell me how you change the title bar, maybe i'm just slow, but i can't find how :/ It doesn't change with the theme, and i tried several that comes with a bar... I'm talking about the bar that says like Foobar and stuff, on the top :/ And how can i get that bar on the left that shows the album cover? :) I can just get mine in the top panel...
