Hey all. I was just wondering if this is possible:

when I double click an album in the grid view it starts playing (and loads up the tracks) but can I get foobar to send the current tracks enqued to play to the left pane (where 'Default' is located)?

It would be a lot easier to flick through tracks this way. I'd appreciate it :)

Switched over from my simple columns ui setup to a simple default UI setup.

Using foo_facets component for the columns/search on the left, foo_simplaylist, and foo_quicksearch set to inline search of active playlist, working wonderfully :)

That looks great. I personally can't seem to get things like that done with FB2k. Hell, I can't even get Album art working.

The above took me just a few minutes :). The album art/playlist layout is just the default look of simplaylist: http://www.hydrogena...showtopic=88411

To make the layout I just used the default ui's live editing mode. added a few splitters and elements, tweaked it a bit and bam :)

I exported that layout if you want to try it, just make sure you have the following components installed and then go into the settings and import the .fth file:

simplaylist and simplaylist manager:

http://www.foobar200...foo_simplaylist

http://www.foobar200...laylist_manager

Facets: http://www.foobar200...view/foo_facets

quicksearch: http://www.foobar200...foo_quicksearch

Here's a screen and no album art:

Edit:

Got it. I had to tell Fb2k where the cover was even though it's in the same folder. Go figure.

Is all of your album art named consistently? All I do is put the album art as "folder.jpg" in the album folder and foobar automatically picks it up (this works with most other media players too). by default in foobar it will automatically pick up:

front.jpg

cover.jpg

%filename%.jpg

%album%.jpg

folder.jpg

You can add more search patterns in preferences > display > album art

Yes. They are all named cover.jpg. All the albums are in their own folder so it shouldn't have been an issue. What version of Fb2k are you running? I'm on 1.1.13.

1.1.14, but this has always worked for me with foobar, some of my album art is named cover.jpg too and they also work fine. My music is organized the same way yours is. Mine actually seems to be picking up any .jpg files in the album folder actually, I ran a search and I found a few cover images that weren't named cover, folder, or front and they still display fine.

What search patterns are listed on your foobar install under preferences > display > album art > front cover?

A little help with album art needed I've tried everything i could think of but is there any script i could add here to point the viewer to any file name with "front" in it?

am using columns ui.

Note the setting, "Built-in foobar2000 artwork reader mode". By default, Columns UI uses the built-in artwork reader, so there should be no need to configure this. Just try using a wildcard, e.g. "path\front*".

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
