GSM

It should automatically stretch or reduce the image dimensions to 250x250. You have to change the settings in your user globals to reflect the file name, in your case it should say

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

I'll fix that in the next upload, guess i forgot to fix the tooltips for those buttons. Those PVARS are just variables that display different panels depending on their setting.

Oops, forgot about scpl's background. Right click on the playlist settings and there's a background setting, change it to rgb 242-242-242

jclim00 thank for this work i love it, now i have to found all the cd covers :D.
Well done

yo jclim, could you put all the plug ins, requirements and everything needed for your layout in a single zip?

so i can put in the host all together.

oh i didn't know that

well it's ok :)

Scaling album art (autoscale according to window size or user specified width) and a columns_ui playlist option for maximized or larger foobar windows (when you want to manage your entire collection, much easier to use than SCPL). It'll be a while though since I never learned how to customize the columns_ui playlist :D

Preview of the larger mode (showing album art sized to 300 pixels)



There will be a lyrics panel toggle for the album list, and you'll be able to switch between SCPL and columns playlist. I'm too lazy to do a nice fcs for columns_ui since there's so many nice ones out there already, or you could also use the default layout which looks pretty good when it uses gsm vs's system colors. You can also turn on or off the playback statistics counter that now displays in the item display from layout globals.

Damn, that is quite impressive. Looks like it will be fun to use, I can't wait to give it a spin myself.

Which style do you prefer more form the GSM VS, the dark or the light? I've been becoming acquainted with the light one for a bit now and I'm starting to like it.

jclim00, using the new update, but foobar keeps crashing on me.  It won't load unless i delete the gsm_flv.pui.  I didn't have any issues with the previous version of your layout.  Not sure what the issue is.  All the plug-ins look up-to-date as well.

that's basically what i did, so it's working somewhat now.  I'm trying to figure out how to switch it to library mode.  I've only been using foobar for about a month now, so technically a noob at this one.  that may just be something that i don't have set up correctly though.  Thanks for your help man.  :)

LOL.  thanks.

I need to update the readme about that by the way, just been lazy. The new panels_ui has a new sorting/grouping system you can see when you right click a playlist and select sort/group by (these presets can be added and modified in the preferences and you can change the order in the playlist context menu).

At the moment the main view will default to singles mode if it isn't sorted by album; this is the default setting which can be found in the layout switcher in the preferences (looks like)

$if($isgrouped(album),
    $scplsetlayout(Album)
    ,
    $scplsetlayout(Singles)
)

To get album mode to display, right click the playlist and choose a sort/group mode that has album somewhere in the order. (artist/date/album) (date/artist/album).

If you still want album mode to show but you only want to activate the headers and not sort them (i.e. a customized playlist you have ordered to your liking), you want to add this in the preferences.



Add that code to the playlist selector

$if($sortidx(Default),
    $scplsetlayout(Album)
    ,
)

And make a new field called default. Primary sort and secondary sort should be empty, group by sort UNCHECKED, and put this in Group By

%album artist%%album%$if2(%discnumber%,)

Then right click your playlist, sort/group by, edit, hit reset, left click default and save it as a preset. You can now use this to activate headers.

Unfortunately the panels_ui dev has decided to make all the sort/group functions based on the user, so puis cannot import these settings. Im hoping in the future he can add pui specific sorts so the user doesnt have to bother with all this.

I'm trying to figure out why the playlist dropdown won't display my other playlists. Something in the configuration is making it list only the currently selected entry and not the others. I can still navigate to them using the mouse-wheel but when you drop down the list it doesn't list the rest the rest of the playlists, any ideas as to what's causing this?
