mitch, what does the rescan and library buttons do?

library display the album list (not the panel since i use it rarely and it would be a waste of space). rescan actually rescans the folders of my library for new entries.

edit : oops, didn't see your post bob :p

@Lare2: Preferences>Display>Columns UI>Layout. Right click on the top most entry in the white area. Choose Change Base>Splitters>Playlist tabs. Then, right click it again, this time, Insert Panel>Playlist View>Columns Playlist

This is my first attempt at Foobar - wanted to see what the hoopla was about. Loving it so far, it is handling my library very, very well. Still need to customize the buttons but after that I am done for this round...

It's just the playlist switcher with a custom title tag thing. (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
All Files
Temporary
- 
-Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
etc..

And then, all the playlists are autoplaylists, except for 'Temporary'.

Here's the code for the Playlist Switcher:

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

It's for 0.9, might work on 0.8.3, haven't tried.. :wacko::

Spex, where do i paste that ?

My first ColumnsUI 'creation' after using the default UI for what seems like an eternity... Basically just tinkering with the default layout but I like it simple. :)

Daydream, can you share your fcs? I love the layout. It's awsome and simple and colorful.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,
