ok, i will try that another time. Will let you know the results...

It was the component Playlists Dropdown. Let's see if I can get something else for that instead, or find out what if it conflicts with something else.

Thanks for updating this component. It seems there's a little bug (or it's me doing something wrong) with the option 'Middle button action:add to playlist'. First i have to left click an item to make the middle click adding the desired item on the current playlist. Then if i try to middle click another item it's the previous selected item which get added not the current one. It was not behaving this way before.

Musicmusic, I've got a filtering problem. I've got four filter panels on top of each other under a tab stack.



If I choose the composer Bax, then the genre "Tone Poem", all tone poems are correctly opened in the playlist. But the "Work" filter does also show the Symphonies as you see. But the Symphonies aren't genre tagged as Tone poems, and also the Symphonies are not added to the playlist (which is correct).

I hope you see what I mean. It seems if I make changes to the "genre" filter, the "work" filter shows no reaction, as if it's not bound to changes in the genre filter.

Vice versa the filters behave correctly: if I select all Symphonies in the work filter, the "tone poem" genre disappears in the genre filter.

I already rescanned media library, I also swapped the filters in the layout, I tried really hard but can't find the cause of this.

Any idea?

This describes how exactly the tracks are tagged:
Symphonies: %GENRE%="Classical"
Tone poems: %GENRE%="Classical; Tone Poem"

what's with console?!

ntl cui component should be much higher in official wiki

as i can remember when i double click the status bar the actual playing track was shown in the middle of the playlist, but now it remembers the last window position!? interesting but is that more functional? (in the middle you're expecting it, but history, you can't always rec where the track was - if you are looking for something fast for ex)

edit: an what's with item properties - is it suppose to replace classic track info?

Thanks for all the recent updates musicmusic! I like the clear option for the console .

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to have a facets like view for the filter panel? Basically displaying any of the filter fields side by side (maybe an option for vertical / horizontal stack?). Something like this:



I think I had mentioned this a while ago, but I can't remember.

When I listen to a mp3 in mini view I see my foobar very small with artist and track infornation.
But I use some .asx files that haven't a properly name like "?" - radio station.
Is it possible to except .asx files for track information and instead add a text like "this is a stream"?


I added this:
$if($strcmp($lower($replace(%filename_ext%,%filename%,)),.asx),
$alignabs(2,5,%_width%,15,,)RADIO STREAM!!!)

But this only adds Radio stream! through the text %artist% and %track%.



Here's the code for mini view.


Code: [Select]
// mode 4: Mini View
$button(20,2,0,0,16,16,,,WINDOWSIZE:470:$get(full):LEFT:TOP,)
$button(20,2,0,0,16,16,/images\plus.png,/images\plush.png,'PVAR:SET:mode:1',TOOLTIP:"Playlist View")
$button(360,2,0,0,16,16,/images\miniprev.png,/images\miniprevh.png,Previous,TOOLTIP:"Previous")
$button(375,2,0,0,16,16,
$if($or(%ispaused%,$not(%isplaying%)),/images\miniplay.png,/images\minipause.png),
$if($or(%ispaused%,$not(%isplaying%)),/images\miniplayh.png,/images\minipauseh.png),Play or Pause,TOOLTIP:" Play/Pause ")
$button(390,2,0,0,16,16,/images\mininext.png,/images\mininexth.png,next,TOOLTIP:"Next")
$button(410,2,0,0,16,16,/images\hide.png,,hide,TOOLTIP:"Minimize")
$button(430,2,0,0,16,16,/images\exit.png,,Exit,)
$if(%_isplaying%,
$font(Verdana,8,bold,231-237-241)
$alignabs(40,0,325,$get(mini)...

You could use something like $if2(%artist%,Radio Stream!) or maybe $if(%length%,%artist%,Radio Stream!) in place of %artist%, and similarly for %title%. Or you could use $if2(%artist%,%url%), which sometimes looks ok.

Well yes that could work if I were using CUI. However, I am still using that UI that dare not speak it's name around here, and it's a bit more difficult to set that kind of thing up . I guess it's a bit selfish asking for such a feature since it is possible by other means, but it would just make things that much easier for me .

It seems you are describing how they are meant to work: filtering is one-way / hierarchical.

Bidirectional filtering is not really a practical thing.. I can explain my view if you wish

where is the config for console?
You can only configure the font.

when i double click the status bar the actual playing track was shown in the middle of the playlist, but now it remembers the last window position and it's not shown in the middle of it!
Not here. Which playlist view and do you have it directly in a standard splitter or something like panel stack splitter.

Just go and toggle the 'filter precedence' option..

Why do you think I answered "Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Status Bar > Action to perform when doubleclicking on status bar" to that question of yours?

If you happen to use Columns UI (which I assume you do, going by the thread you posted this in) that's exactly where you configure what should happen if you double click the status bar.

You might want to set that to "View/Columns playlist/Activate now playing", at least that's what works for me.
np: 4'33"

Ah, I didn't realize it works top down, but now I see it. If it's not too complicated, yes, please describe why this is.

i thought you cange it for some purpose, but it's working here like i said (f2k 0.9.5.5, CUI 0.3.4.1)

@leak: you can see it now, i think (although is not much of a problem)

Squeller:
Well let's say you had an artist and genre filter. You select a genre which filters the artist list. Now you select an artist, which will filter the genre list, leaving only that artist's genres. problems:
-there's now no easy way to switch genre again
-it's no longer clear why the artist list is in the state it is

then you could go select that genre and you would be left with one artist and one genre...

basically, you could try and alter the behaviour so it doesn't work like I describe, but in any case I don't see how it wouldn't be a bunch of hacks and be completely unpredictable and/or unusable. if you disagree feel free to explain

If it is already in view, it will just select it. I don't think anything has changed there...
