This page may also help you when looking for variables for foobar :)

In the actual playlist it's %_playlist_total%.

In the playlist switcher it's %size%.

Hmm... Strange. :wacko:

Maybe you can't use it in the status-bar then, I know some tags can't be used in some places, so that may be one of them..

Here's mine!

I just reinstalled, havent messed with foo in along time. I'm using 0.9 and see that many plugins don't work with it yet. Anyway, I installed Columns_ui 0.1.3 and am trying to add custom toolbar buttons...but for the life of me cant remember how. I remember there being an 'Other' tab with a 'Use custom buttons' checkbox...which isn't there anymore. Can someone clue me in?

Right-click the buttons, and click Customise... You can change them within there, but it's different to 0.8

Updates for me. Heavily inspired by a few people (from here and HA), most notably shannon...

Still waiting on foo_playlistfind... :(

^ spex04, How do you get the headings for the playlist? Like .General, .Genre ... ?

Columns UI pre-alpha17v6 released. This uses GDI+ to render the volume control "channel" anti-aliased. Album list panel 0.2.1 beta 2 also released.

[scowl]

[helig]

In the actual playlist it's %_playlist_total%.

In the playlist switcher it's %size%.

were can I find titleformatting for playlist swicher?? I mean, there is a few pages about the playlist and stuff, but for the switcher?

edit: nevermind, didn't read everything.. :p

[spex04]

^ spex04, How do you get the headings for the playlist? Like .General, .Genre ... ?

They're just blank playlists, with specially formatted titles so that the string can recognise that it's a title (not an actual playlist), and display it accordingly. I've showed people what I did a few pages back. (Y)

Sure, it might be a bit rough though, only made it last night..

It's the playlist switcher (Y)

The titles of the playlist (General, Genre, etc..) are prefixed with a '-', and so are the spaces ('- ', important, must be hyphen then a space, otherwise it won't work), so the playlist names look like this:

-General
Albums
Singles
Temporary
Playlist Queue
- 
-Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
etc..

Here's the code you need to put in the playlist switcher title formatting thing (in preferences) (slighty updated from last time I posted it):

$if($stricmp($left(%title%,1),'-'),
$tab()0080fe|b77c1c$if($stricmp(%title%,'- '),,.) $right(%title%,$sub($len(%title%),1))  
,
$if(%is_playing%,b77c1c|b77c1c ?  , ›  )%title% $tab() $if(%is_playing%,edca8f|edca8f,bbbbbb|edca8f)'('%size%')' 
)

:laugh::

It's the name of the playlists, so the first playlist in the list is called '-General', the second one is called 'Albums', etc..

Remember, for the spacer ones, it needs to be '- ', and not just '-'.(Y))

Thanks for the playlist config spex04, looks great on mine (Y)

Question, I'm using the Navigator_1.4.0beta3 and it has a lastplayed column, however it's supposed to us the new playcount plugin but every lastplayed has today in it regardless of when I played it.

For instance this track was played yesterday as can be seen from the right-hand column however the Navigator columns says it's today it has been played.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Also concerning the playlist config, is it possible to somehow hide the -s-, I find it a bit annoying having to see them in the names, makes it look a bit untidy IMO.

I have foobar 0.9 and wanted to use tango icons 128x128 png file to set custom icons

but they appear very very big. Is there a way to shrink them with the default size somewhere in foobar option?

edit: bah forget it, I found the fcb thingy which is hell lot easier and less trouble

the new foo_playcount is different from the one that is available for 0.83. the new one isn't made by the same author. i hate it.

[Arckon]

Does anyone know if the special installer for 0.8.3 will be back for 0.9.0? I don't want to have to hunt down all of the most commonly used plugins and install them one-by-one. I"d rather just install the "special" installer and be done with it all.

It is yea, post the code (for the playlist switcher) you have for it now and I'll change it for you (Y)
