just a quick one, is it just me or can't single column playlist play songs by pressing enter?

(as in, selecting a song in the playlist with arrow keys, then press enter)

When I'm using the single column playlist I cannot use the keyboard to do anything, I have keys set up to do lots of things (like rate the song etc) and the only way I can do things like that is to use the context menu.

If I need to do a lot of tag editing I just switch back to the columnsui layout.

It seems all the plugins I put in the components folder are out-dated.

How do I make it so when I close and open Foobar, the playlist that was there doesn't start up again?

The songs I played yesterday are still in there when I opened it this morning. I want a fesh playlist.

Can you share you config files please? Thats sweet! The way you have it setup.. Thanks!

my setup has changed a little bit since i posted that screenshot. here's how my setup looks now....

what plugin do i need to show the album art in the single column?

single column playlist - http://users.bowie-cass.com/singa/foo_uie_...mn_playlist.zip

add it as a panel in the columns ui layout section. then right click anywhere in the playlist to access the settings dialog. :)

yeah i have that.. i have it all set up except it's not showing the art, just blank space... is there anythying i have to enable or change to make it show the album art?

its all done with the $imageabs2() function of the latest single columns playlist, i've been toying around with it, and will write a guide of some sort when i have some spare time..

it's fun stuff :D

ok i got the album art working but now i'm having another problem..lol

it's not showing the artist under the songs lke your is.. is it maybe a text setting? what font do you have set for your single columns ui?

that's down to my code. it's only showing the artist info because those are various artist albums tagged with %album artist%. there is no need for single artist albums as the artist is already shown in the group header.....

$font(Tahoma,8,,)

to open an fcb file, you need to apply it to the toolbar

right click buttons toolbar > customise.. > click "tools" button > load from file.

the images are extracted into foobar2000/images folder.

to make your own set, each button must be the same size.

Hi,

Acedriver, thks m8 :) , can u tell me how do i may remove the gap between the buttons ?

In old Foobar that was easy, on this one, i can see how, even with buttons havin the same size.

Cya

I want to actually try to use this software finally, but making it look nice is way beyond something i feel i can take the time to do, are there pre made UI's i can DL, i see some of yalls here and they are awesome and ive tried to go thru some tutorials on how to customize this and i wanted to hurt my pc lol. Ive followed some of the tutorials but these addons they require always seem tobe out of date when i start up foobar, always get an error message

Edited by Got3n

em3: can i have a fcs of that? and how did you get that panel on top? and what do i need for that rating thing?

You can find all of that in his foobar layout thread on his forum.

Behold the Jaffa ;)

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
