   Amazing config.

   is there anyway we can make the title header art be the artist image instead?

   May 2nd, 2007 at 5:45 pm

   Loving it – except when I go to Browse with playlist tree panel foobar freezes up – I suspect it is something I am doing wrong as everything else is working a treat!!! BEST CONFIG EVER

3. shakey_snake Says:

   hey, so, with your config, I can never get it to group tracks; the playlist is always in single mode, and I can’t figure out what changes that.

4. 4nT1 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:21 pm

   FofR I also have this problem and I have a custom sort/group I made as per your instructions. Perhaps you could detail the procedure a little more to help us out?

5. leroi14 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:28 pm

   To make the group tracks working :

   right click somewhere on the SCPL, chose Sort/Group by > Edit

   Then check the squares as shown in the picture, and save the preset as “Folder”

   Here you are

   Best config ever!

6. 4nT1 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:43 pm

   I have done this – even have the sort/edit be number 6 preset… eek want it to work..

7. 4nT1 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:46 pm

   My bad I missed the Folder Group by rather then just sort damn noobness getting the better of me… ok so now for my playlist tree panel problem… really want to use it.. I have everything installed right – same version as in config file..

8. 4nT1 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:50 pm

   Also there seems to be a bug with egoh spectrum – if I make the window any bigger then the scepctrum does not line up against the album art picture..

9. leroi14 Says:
   May 2nd, 2007 at 6:52 pm

   The first time you see the playlist tree panel, it displays a message telling you to go to some website, this message was the source of a freeze the first time I launched it.

   I solved the problem hitting the “yes” button as fast as I could, in order to avoid the freeze, and it worked for me.

   It’s a little bit random as an explanation, but I hope this can help

10. 4nT1 Says:
    May 2nd, 2007 at 6:55 pm

    I did not get this message box… hmm… maybe I will try deleting the component and re-adding…Also when I split now playing with playlist the artist art disapears from the now playing side of the panel… can this be optional perhaps?

    tested the redraw on the spectrum’s its the same issue for both normal spectrum and egoh – so I can only asume its the code behind it – this can be replicated by changing windows size and switching between split modes..

11. 4nT1 Says:
    May 2nd, 2007 at 6:56 pm

    and sorry to keep spamming but an option to hide the SCPL scroll bar would be sweet.. this is in Brett’s scaled config if you need to see some other code to replicate..

12. FofR Says:
    May 2nd, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    There’s a bug with Playlist Tree. First time you load it up LOAD IT IN COLUMNS UI OR DOCKABLE PANELS. This should avoid the error. Its a Panels/Playlist Tree incompatibility that I think is caused by the popup and can be avoided using this method.

13. FofR Says:
    May 2nd, 2007 at 9:57 pm

    UPDATE: 0.7.1:
    - Included Toggle SCPL Layouts, acts as it did in FofR v0.6.
    - Changed defaults to prevent Playlist Tree crashes on install.

14. Greenek Says:

    Yeah Big thanks!

15. pIv Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 12:50 am

    When I push button “Menu” I have next Error windows:

    “Unhandled exception : Overflow” and foobar closed.

    What is it?

16. 4nT1 Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 2:02 am

    Greats news FofR, I will test after work when I get home.

    I think we need to get cwbrown(spelling) onto the case to fix this issue for panels as well as terrestrial – maybe get them working together.. I know they both use eachothers components so it only makes sense right

17. legzalito Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 2:23 am

    amazing work ! thank you for your effort, it’s very much appreciated, i will play with it for days now..

    Wow! I was really getting tired of waiting for a new release of your skin and now that its finally here I have to say that it was well worth the wait!

    Oh and its also my b-day today! So it was like another gift for me!

    Thanks! Keep up the great work!

    I already said thanks in the SA thread, but this config is amazing FofR.

20. Jeff Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 9:34 am

    Using v0.7.1 Error: Failed to load DLL: foo_playlist_tree.dll. This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for different version of foobar2000.

    I’ve tried loading in Columns UI first and I still get this error.

21. leroi14 Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 9:43 am

    Put the 2 other dlls in foobar main directory, not in the components folder

22. Paolo Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 9:52 am

    Hi!
    Great work! I like it very much!
    Just a little suggestion: in the “Mini Now Playing” popup tab configuration, under the * Write Track Text * section, I made a little change to the Song title line:

    $font(,12,,)[%tracknumber%. ]$font(,12,,$get(hotness))[%title%]$font(,10,italic,)[ '('%composer%')'$char(10)]

    In my opinion it’s useful to see the real composer of each song, if the relative tag exists. what do you think?

23. IronMAN Says:
    May 3rd, 2007 at 11:42 am

    hi, first of all… best config, congratulations.
    second: i want to show on my playlist only files i rated. or files played more than 3 times. how can i do that?

    thanks.

24. Jeff Says:

26. Jubei Says:

    Downloaded it yesterday and it works fine. It is very nice. Thanks!!

    Question : how do I get all the album art under playlist (grouped by albums) to be of the same size? Currently, with albums that have just a couple of long tracks like classical symphonies, the cover art is REAL small.

27. shakey_snake Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 5:51 am

    suggestion:
    Rather than having to wade through 8 columns of options, why not just show the ones relevant to whichever tab someone is looking at?

28. 4nT1 Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 9:06 am

    How come if I am using full screen mode when I have the scpl and now playing album art with artist art – the artist art disapears – this is the same for the sprectum thing too.. is it not possible to have these in the modes too?

    Also I think the ability to hide the vertical scrollbar would be awesome.. is it possible?

    additionally one more thing is it not possible we have a front and back mode like in brett’s scaled config – seems to be a little more polished in now playing mode..

29. Michael Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 2:31 pm

    I love it ! One question, in Mini Mode, the MINI NOW PLAYING text overlaps the previous, pause/play, next buttons. The buttons disappear when I move my mouse away from foobar and reappear when I move my mouse over foobar again. How do I get rid of those buttons or get rid of the text and leave the buttons always active?

    Thanks!

30. Zeo Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 3:32 pm

    Great config, but I would have two request.
    First, write us please a tutorial on how to add new sections (like a lyrics tab).
    Second, please implement some multidisc marker, that is in sync with the %discnumber% & %totaldiscs% standard. That would make my day

    Greets,
    Zeo

31. Zeo Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 5:57 pm

    Always watching the settings can lead to content..

32. wiL Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

    hi thanks for this awesome release
    for youro lder release, you had the sort by artist feature which displays the songs by the artist under a header and the artist image

    but for this 0.7, it does not seem to work this way anymore, it just shows a list of titles..

    am i doing anything wrong?

33. wiL Says:
    May 4th, 2007 at 11:12 pm

    one more thing is.. using ur artistimage.exe and artistmagethumb.exe right to get artist images will result in the file being named as Firstname+Lastname.jpg

    It seems that foobar using 0.7 will not be able to read the plus sign and thus display the noartist image

    any way to get around that without manually removing the plus for every pic?

    thanks ^^

34. grimwall Says:
    May 5th, 2007 at 5:46 am

    great release FoFr!

    I have a problem, on the browse panel it shows Playlist Tree instead of Album list even I when i check Browser: Album List. Explorer works fine but i prefer album list and going to the menu for that is a little inconvenient.

35. wiL Says:
    May 5th, 2007 at 6:21 am

    ahh that! i checked the code. there’s was a mistype. just change it from Playlist Tree to Album List in the code.

36. Bo Says:
    May 5th, 2007 at 8:08 am

    Great work. How about adding the spectrum to the collumn in now playing?

37. Jick Says:
    May 5th, 2007 at 4:46 pm

    Great config, so rich and deep in features. HOWEVER, I do have one suggestion for the next version: an option to turn artist images off; I find them unnecessary and I don’t like things blocking the album art. But otherwise it’s perfect!

38. Johan Says:
    May 6th, 2007 at 5:03 am

    Why can’t i get this work with Windows Vista?

40. tom Says:
    May 6th, 2007 at 9:01 pm

    Awesome config; just a few questions/problems/requests:

    1) I’d also like the option to turn off artist images

    2) I can’t get it to use Playlist Tree as the browser; clicking on Playlist Tree instead launches Explorer Tree

    3) Any way to keep the track numbers on the display instead of stars and hearts when I rate tracks three/four/five stars?

41. sleepyenglish Says:
    May 7th, 2007 at 12:59 am

    Hi noob here, for some reason i cant seem to create a new play list, when i right click there is no option to create a new play list.

    Any suggestions? Also how would i disable the displaying of the artist image box?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Great release again

    I have two problems. The window around foobar is blue like always but you have it in nice black. How did you do that?
    And I still have problems with the black theme. I cant see my button unless you cursor is over the button. Then the appear in white colour? Any idea to fix that.

    Last is the album-cover. I want the album-cover to appear left on the playlist panel like normally. But I dont know how.

    greets martin

43. poowho Says:
    May 8th, 2007 at 8:53 am

    hi…i have a couple of questions…
    first, how do i add display items in the playlist mode (ie, the standard display shows artist followed by the trackname and then the track length, i would like to display, artist, trackname, album, date and track length)?…
    second, i dont have the file operations menu anymore where i can move, copy, and rename a file…i have reinstalled foobar2000, but the menu is still not there…

    sorry for the noob questions, but if anyone can help me out, i would greatly appreciate it…thanks in advance…

44. poowho Says:
    May 8th, 2007 at 9:02 am

    also, one more thing, when i have a track selected, but its not the track playing, it says TOTAL:[UNKNOWN right over the track length…what is that referring to?

45. sleepyenglish Says:
    May 9th, 2007 at 2:46 am

    I figured i can create play lists but they are not displaying in the lower half of the play list browser, any suggestions why this is thanks?

    Also ive looked but cant find the image which relates to the bar which displays along the bottom of foobar(the one with the stripes). I want to edit the image because when i go to full screen mode the bar doesn’t stretch the entire length of the window

    Thanks

46. 4nT1 Says:
    May 9th, 2007 at 6:59 am

    Looks like FofR secretly released 7.02 – can you tell me what you updated… was it just bugs squashed?

47. FofR Says:
    May 10th, 2007 at 2:42 am

    I just removed the older versions which had the AutoHotKey image scripts still in them which were causing some erroneous security alerts, so I removed them for peace of mind. No other changes yet, sorry. (Thanks Walter for pointing this out to me)

    Also, well spotted .

48. poowho Says:
    May 10th, 2007 at 7:35 am

    another problem (which i guess will go unanswered as my last 2 were)…in playlist mode and now playing mode, the program doesnt recognize the album art if its a png or bmp file…how do i make it recognize ALL image files? great config, i just wish i could get a little help if possible…

49. twit Says:
    May 10th, 2007 at 8:29 am

    poowho, and most everyone else asking questions – the reason so many of these questions go unanswered is to a large part that they’re already answered in the configuration guide or the config code itself
    all it takes is a bit of reading and poking your nose around

    as for the album images, here’s a direct quote

    “Configuring Album Art and Artist Image Sources:

    For Version 0.7:
    File > Preferences: Display > Panels UI >Layout.
    Under User Globals you shall see (this or something similar):
    $puts(coverPath,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.*))
    $puts(artistPath,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,artist.*))

    Replace these terms with the method you use for locating your cover and artist image files. If changed correctly they will show up correctly throughout the layout.

    …

    By default this looks for folder.* and if this does not exist it searches for *.jpg.”

    so the easiest solution is to just have all your album images in the same folder as the album and named folder.* (where * is the file ending for the relevant file such as jpg, png, gif, bmp etc.)

    the code is very well commented, so if there’s something you want to do just poke around in there to find the relevant section

50. D Says:
    May 10th, 2007 at 9:56 am

    Sorry, I’ve given up on this until panelsui can figure out a way to improve sorting criteria that doesn’t require ugly hacks. Or fofr can make something already full of the ugly hacks that works out of the box. after an hour of rewriting to get it to display the group headers in the playlist, i’ve decided it just isn’t worth the hassle.

51. sleepyenglish Says:
    May 11th, 2007 at 12:15 am

    Can someone please help as i cant really use foobar until i can get past this stupid hiccup. Here is a screen shot of my foobar as it is, as i said before i dint think i could create play lists but when i right lick a folder i can select add to play list but i cant find with in foobar to view, edit and rearrange the play lists.

    FOR POOWHO : about you ‘file operations’ question : this has nothong to do with panelsUI or this config. To change the context menu items, go to Preferences > Display > Context Menu.

53. FofR Says:
    May 11th, 2007 at 9:07 am

    I’ve updated the FofR Configuration guide to reflect some of the questions being asked here. Many relate to options that are changeable within the layout itself.

    I’ve also added the details for creating a custom lyrics tab.

    Here’s a new v0.8 feature:

54. poowho Says:
    May 14th, 2007 at 6:20 am

55. Pat F. Says:
    May 15th, 2007 at 8:52 am

    I’m new to Foobar, and this whole ‘customizing’ thing is extremely confusing and frustrating to me.

    I feel like I did something wrong, as I don’t think the library is supposed to look like this.

    http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/4930/heyun4.png

    Any ideas what I could have done wrong, or is it supposed to look like that?

    Also, how do I choose what album art to use?

56. twist Says:
    May 15th, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    what component do i need to get the playcount to work, its currently not working and just says;

    Playcount: ?
    Last Played: Never

    help would be mucho appreciato, cheers

57. Adam Says:
    May 16th, 2007 at 2:16 pm

    For playcounts, you need the official playcount component, foo_playcount.dll. It’s the “playback statistics” at http://www.foobar2000.org/components/index.html

    My question, on the track details box, the Track Replay Gain is blank, though all my tracks are replaygain’d. I’m sure it’s simple, but any ideas what I’m doing wrong here?

    Fantastic work btw FotR!

58. twit Says:
    May 17th, 2007 at 11:16 am

    the replaygain info code is slightly messed up, right click in the song details window and select “settings”, scroll down to the bottom of the window and find the relevant replaygain line and make sure it looks like this: (should all be on one line)

    $if(%__replaygain_track_gain%,$char(10)$font(,,bold,$getpvar(buttonfontcolorselected))Track replay gain: $font(,,,$getpvar(nowplayfontcol))%__replaygain_track_gain%$char(10))

    if you want to display album gain as well, add this line

    $if(%__replaygain_album_gain%,$font(,,bold,$getpvar(buttonfontcolorselected))Album replay gain: $font(,,,$getpvar(nowplayfontcol))%__replaygain_album_gain%$char(10))

    I installed it now several Times with clean foobar.
    It seems that like some Fonts are messed up – i’ve installed all the 3 Fontpacks you mentioned – i am using WinXP.
    Also the Miniplayer looks weird because of the wrong Fonts.

    There’s also missing in your install-faq, that i need to install ui-columns to use it – without i didnt get any stop/start/volume buttons.

    Found your config and fell in love with it, it’s just amazing.

    Although, I can’t figure out how to sort by artist while ignoring “the” in the artist name. I’ve done it in Columns UI before, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it in Panels UI.

    Thanks.

    He also has the same ‘Font-Problem’ that i have.
    Now Playing, Playlist and Browse use another Font than on your Screenshot – thats why the miniplayer also looks weird.
