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?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
