Playlist History

General

The component enables easy and fast switching between (recently activated) playlists.

Requirements

foobar2000 1.x. The component will not work with previous versions of foobar.

Getting started

The recommended way to use foo_queuecontents is to use the UI element. Just add the panel as you would any other UI element. The element can be found under Utility category in DUI, or under Panels category in CUI with the name Queue Contents Editor.

The component is ready to use :)

Features and Usage

As stated before the component supports two kind of interfaces: UI element (CUI/DUI) and a special playlist for displaying/editing queue contents.

UI Element

UI Element: Context menu for queue items
UI Element: Context menu for column header

UI element works with both popular user interfaces for foobar: Default UI and Columns UI. Following features are supported in each:

  • Views items currently in the queue using interface similar to foobar default playlist component.
  • Reorder queue items by drag & drop, and by using keyboard shortcuts similar to foobar default playlist component.
  • Delete queue items through the context menu, or pressing the delete key.
  • Add items to queue by drag & drop. Files can be dragged either outside or inside from foobar. Files that are dragged from a foobar playlist are queued in the same way they would have been with the Add to Playback Queue command.
  • Fully user-customizable columns in the UI element. You can add, delete and reorder columns however you like. User can define new columns with custom format strings from the preferences.
  • Optionally auto-size of columns so that column width/element width ratio is kept constant (Auto-scale Columns with Window Size).
  • Optionally show or hide the column header. You can always show the column header by clicking anywhere in the UI element and clicking Show Column Header.

Configuration

There is no configuration necessary (nor it is possible).
