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 :)

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.

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?

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.

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?

this is what my code for album art, each full album has a file name folder.jpg in each folder. for singles, I placed them in a folder named covers

$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_directoryname%'\'%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg
-E:\Covers\$replace(%artist% - $if2(%album%,%title%),:,_,?,_,/,_,.,_).jpg
-E:\Covers\%_filename%.jpg
-components\default.png

:pinch:

just had to open up Mp3tag and options > write APEv2 and just replay them in Foobar and voila

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...

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
