hello Br3tt!

first thing first! man Ibiza is just OMG great! wonderful!

but i have some issues with covers...

i have most of them in my specified folder on hd (G:\foo\covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg)

some are in albums folders like folder.jpg and those are working...

i've tried to solve this by myself but i can't make it working!

$if($findfile($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)),
	$puts(cover.path,$directory_path(%path%)/folder.jpg)
,
	$puts(cover.path,./images/ibiza/cover/nocover.png)

				$puts(cover.path,'G:\foo\covers\'%artist%' - '%album%'.jpg')
)

this is from playlist and works fine! both!

the problem is here:

$draw_image(25,48,$eval(%gb_width%-41),$eval(%gb_width%-41),'./images/ibiza/cover/nocover.png',255,nokeepaspect)
$draw_image(25,48,$eval(%gb_width%-41),$eval(%gb_width%-41),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),255,nokeepaspect)

and here:

$puts(cover.path,$directory_path(%path%)/folder.jpg)
$puts(artist.path,Z:\_artists_\%artist%.jpg)

i don't know how and where i have to put my covers path...

i've tried to make it like in playlist but it doesn't work...

please help me

Hi Br3tt, your config rocks :punk: but i've experienced some troubles on how to show @ window titlebar the name/time of the song played, dunno why but since last update it shows nothing...got you any idea why? Thanks!

Goto Preferences --> Display --> ColumnsUI --> Main-Tab

there is a field captioned: "Main window title format script:"

Currently there is:

//This is the default script for the title of the main window during playback.

//%artist% - %title% - %_time_elapsed% / %length%

Remove the "//" in the second line or if the field is empty, enter the second line there (obviously without the "//" in front of %artist%)

Regards

Thanks so much for your fast reply MiDiAN, it worked flawlessly :yes:

Hi Br3tt.

I used your new release for a while last night and it looks great. I've got one question though. The alphabet that is listed at the top of screen, can you use to chaange the playlist position without changing the song? The only way I could get it to work was to double click which starts playing songs from the chosen letter. Ideally I'd like to single click, be taken to the letter, then choose a song.

I've probably missed something though :p

just right-click on the alphabet (it is a graphical browser panel) --> settings, and modify action for single click from 'none' to default' !!!

i have disable it because it lags a lot on large playlists !!! so take care :)

When I import the fcl file, it says

"The layout import was aborted because the following required panels are not installed.

Name:Track info

GUID:44E5327B-92FF-4BD7-81BD-0365B921D461"

The dll file foo_uie_trackinfo_mod is in the components folder.

Are you sure you have the correct version of the dll?

Hi:

I've and tried a lot of things, but can't get the covers working...

first..i was using panels ui, so i need to know if dynamic location of the art is supported with this config.

For example, with my previous config in panels, i loaded dynamically the art location in the coverPath variable, like this:

$puts(coverPath,$if3(
 $if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,front.jpg)),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,front.jpg)),
 $if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)),
 $if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg)),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg)),
 $if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.bmp)),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.bmp))))

i've tried the same idea here (with the obvious adjustments), but it won't work. Also i noticed that the cover.path variable is defined in two places( and experimented with both):

- In the Splitter settings shown in the picture of the first post (first line):

$puts(cover.path,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg)

- In the code one gets by secondary clicking>settings, right on the playlist(about the 18th line):

$if($stricmp('FOO_LASTFM',$left(%path%,10)),
	$puts(cover.path,./images/ibiza/cover/nocoverlastfm2.png)
,
$if($fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)),
	$puts(cover.path,$directory_path(%path%)/folder.jpg)

   ,
	$puts(cover.path,./images/ibiza/cover/nocover.png)
   )

)

Any advice?

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
