foo_w7shell 0.2.7.0

Posted on Mar 29th 2009 by pieceofsummer.

This release introduces new experimental feature: playlist list in jumplist (OMG! A lot of “lists” around.) Now you can change playlist without opening main window – just choose one from foobar’s context menu.

Also there are two new icons for “play” and “preferences”. Hope they’re not very awful… :)

Go to product page to read more.

Quick download: foo_w7shell 0.2.7.0.

    Absolutely brilliant – many thanks for your work.

    7068 x64:
    1. play/pause on the thumbnail toolbar still broken (Spy++ shows duplicate messages, but strangely back and forward work as expected)
    2. aero peek (either from alt-tab or from taskbar thumbnail) does not work for foobar with plugin loaded
    Keep digging -)

    Very cool, i will definitely use this. However, after installing, foobar doesnt show up when using Windows key + Tab.

    Hey, thanks for the great component, keep up the good work.
    On a side note i was wondering if it is possible to expand it a bit and make it show the song progress on the taskbar button as the green progress bar similar to the one when copying files. The progress has been integrated in the latest version of ImgBurn which shows the progrss of burning / verifying. Converter progress in a similar way wouldnt be bad either but i guess that’s up to the converter component.

    Devocalypse, it’s possible (and very easy), but I won’t do it. For playback it would be just useless annoying animation in taskbar.
    It’d be useful for converter, I wanted to do this, but Peter said there’s no any converter callbacks. No way.

    Hi, I like the concept, however it does not seem to work. I have put it in the components section, the options show up but are all greyed out. Am I doing something wrong, it did work, but then I added a new playlist or closed it or something and now it doesnt work anymore.

    nvan, options are grayed out when you’re running incompatible OS.
    Check your compatibility settings, possibly you’re running foobar in compatible mode. Also check foobar’s console on startup, plugin should report startup issues.

    and what about external artwork support?

  9. pieceofsummer on July 28th, 2009 at 19:34

    What do you mean “external”?
    It does support external artwork, but filenames are just hard-coded into foobar executable. You could name your artwork as “folder.jpg” or “cover.jpg” and it will appear in popup window.
    But it doesn’t support configuring search paths and filename formats for external artwork. Foobar’s core doesn’t have such features at the moment. Columns UI also doesn’t provide such a service though it has a way to configure it. And I’m not planning to invent a wheel once again.

    Can you comment the second post (from msft.guy) and his second point: Hovering taskbar thumbnail doesn’t peek in main window as it should?

    Thanks :)
