Mimic library viewer filter bar, and replace the current header with that.

Playlist folder button, configuration button #34 and a state button (which should show the current header tooltip) must be rearranged.

I use fb2k to manage a music collection on my NAS. The library is mounted as a network drive (Z:\) on the machine. Consequently, playlists created by SMP contain that letter in their %path%. As my Playlist folder is in the same folder as my music library, I would prefer them to be relative to the playlist file location. For example:

Playlist file: 
   Z:\Music\Playlists\example-playlist.m3u8

Containing the following absolute path:
   Z:\Music\Albums\Rock\Artist - Album\01. Track.mp3

Desired relative path
   ..\Albums\Rock\Artist - Album\01. Track.mp3

A simple way would be to make the TitleFormat strings used in savePlaylist available as a configuration parameter. That way, they can be used e.g. in VLC on Android to play back their contents on many different devices.

Currently, I have simply modified the following line in helpers_xxx.js, function savePlaylist to the same effect:

let tfo = fb.TitleFormat('#EXTINF:%_length_seconds%,%artist% - %title%$crlf()' + '$replace(%path%,Z:\\Music,..)');

Update PDF manual with last changes from #18, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24 and #25

Add configuration entry to edit icons per playlist type. Use default ones set on helper on first load.

After updating to the latest release there and it gives this error.

I've just installed this and finding it impossible to set this up without a UI.

The menu just disappears and you have to start all over again to go through the menu.

Probably a huge undertaking to do.

Describe the feature
Point to PDF documentation on front page and github page

Add selected tracks to selected playlist file using drag n drop (instead of keyboard modifiers).

Requires new SMP version.

Describe the bug
Today I synced the scripts with Github, and now whenever I remove all tracks from a playlist, a few seconds later it throws the "playlist generation failed" error (see screenshot).

Otherwise everything works as expected. The file is in reality updated just fine.

Might be related to my other issue, not sure. But UUIDs for playlist names is disabled. It's reproducible on a new SMP panel. Bug probably was introduced between June 6 and now.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create an empty playlist called "test".
2. Add some tracks to it.
3. Remove all the tracks from it.
4. Wait for error.

Expected behavior
No error.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current sorting options are fully automatized and don't allow user customization.

Describe the solution you'd like
Manual sorting of playlist files with drag n drop support. New playlists should be added to the bottom.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Playlist pinning.

Additional context

Describe the bug
R. Clicking on a single playlist should highlight it. At some point this has stopped to work on latest versions.

Screenshots

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Manual sorting is not yet possible.

Describe the solution you'd like
A simple way to make managing a large number of playlists easier might be to allow pinning selected playlists to the top of the list. This could make operations like frequent moving of files from temporary to permanent (i.e. how long a playlist is used before it is deleted) playlists easier. Implementation seems straightforward for physical playlists. I don't know if there is a good way to implement this for UI-only playlists. But as a physical-only feature it could still be quite helpful.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating a category for playlists one might otherwise want to pin, and then switching categories (or filtering) as needed. However, this is very inconvenient for the use case described above.

Another alternative would be to utilize tags. Create a "_pinned" tag and then select sorting by tags. Problem: This currently makes it impossible to use other sorting schemes at the same time. Same goes for using name prefixes and then sorting by name. By contrast, a pinning feature could take priority over the selected sorting scheme, such that pinned and unpinned playlists are first separated in the UI and then sorted separately.

On SMP 1.6.0 dynamic main menu generation was added.

Convert remove duplicates logic to async code. Should make playlist loading smoother.

Describe the bug
Perhaps I do not understand how shortcuts are supposed to work, but none of the shortcuts seem to do anything. In particular I am trying to assign cycling through categories to shift+left click on header. But if I shift-click on the header buttons, they just behave as if I had clicked normally.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have at least 2 categories assigned to different playlists.
2. Go to UI -> Shortcuts -> Left click (header) -> Shift
3. Click on "Cycle categories"
4. Shift+left click on any part of the header.
5. The result is the same as without shift.

Expected behavior
The playlist manager cycles through the categories.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: EndeavourOS
• Browser: IE8 (in Wine)
• Version: v0.5.0-beta.20

Additional context
EndeavourOS is Arch-Linux-based. I am using Foobar2000 v2.0 installed from AUR with Wine 8.7-1 and SMP v1.6.1.

Multiple playlist selection to apply left click actions: export, set tags, etc.

Design idea:

• Middle click.
• Click on icon (when shown).

Sometimes UI does not not jump properly to highlighted playlist on quicksearch, show current/active playlist, etc.

Replace mouse wheel simulation with a single jump.

Describe the feature
Update the front page with gifs showing current features.

Describe the bug
Folder names aren't escaped before using them in a regular expression in getRelPath() in helpers_xxx_playlists_files.js, leading to obvious issues when folders contain special regex-like characters such as [.

The resulting behavior differs depending on how the folder is parsed in the reg exp. For me, the file paths in the produced playlist M3U files were broken.

Suggested fix
Just a quick fix for this:

function getRelPath(itemPath, relPathSplit) {
	let cache = '';
	relPathSplit.forEach((folder) => {
		const folderEscaped = escapeRegExp(folder);
		const level = new RegExp(folderEscaped + '\\\\', 'i');
		cache = itemPath.replace(level, '');
		if (itemPath === cache) {itemPath = '..\\' + cache;}
		else {itemPath = cache;}
	});
	if (!itemPath.startsWith('..\\')) {itemPath = '.\\' + itemPath;}
	return itemPath;
}

function escapeRegExp(string) {
    return string.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&'); // $& means the whole matched string
}

Change playlist icons with different icons according to playlist type. It should allow playlist identification even without color codes or tooltip info.

Add menu entry to set default colors compatible with color blindness.

Where is the JSON file saved when saving the configuration.

I've checked the folder and sub folders in my portable build:
...\foobar2000\profile\scripts\SMP\xxx-scripts

Describe the bug
Any new playlist created from selected tracks via drag & drop or menu is empty and accompanied by console errors like this:

[10:23:56 PM] Playlist Manager: Error adding tracks to playlist. Index (118) out of bounds. (sendSelectionToPlaylist)

118 seems to be the number of playlists I have. Looks like it's too many for the script to handle, though it doesn't prevent me from creating playlists, they are just empty for some reason. I can still subsequently add tracks manually.

I know that's a lot of playlists, and that may make it a somewhat rare use case, but it's not just unused junk, they are actually all part of how I manage my music library. But I'm considering ways to reduce the number.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have 118 playlists.
2. Select some tracks.
3. In the playlist menu click "Create new playlist from selection..."
4. Observe new playlist being empty and error in console.log.

Expected behavior
New playlist contains the selected tracks.

I thought when it imported them from foo_plorg it would create its own db.

Describe the bug
Earlier today I didn't have this issue, but after syncing with Github, attempting to create new playlists (whether by drag & drop or by "New playlist file" option), I always get this error on my existing PM-SMPanel:

Playlist generation failed while writing file:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I honestly thought this feature was previously present, but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. Anyway, I frequently create new playlists from selected tracks. In the default playlist manager, this can easily be done by dragging the tracks into the playlist manager. A new playlist will be created according to a default title formatting scheme that can be customized in the settings. PM-SMP doesn't have this.

Describe the solution you'd like
I don't necessarily need the drag-drop functionality. But it would be very useful to have an option in the list menu that acts like this. Just add the selected tracks to a new playlist and automatically generate the title (personally I'd be happy with "%album-artist% - %album%", but customization would ofc be great).

Describe alternatives you've considered
"Create new playlist file from active playlist..." takes the whole playlist and just copies its title. A "Move selection to playlist" shortcut requires that a named playlist already exists.

Add configuration entry to show/hide playlist icons.

Add playlists files to tracked folder using drag n drop from explorer.

Requires new SMP version.

If background is set to black and text to white in Foobar2000's default UI settings, and a new SMP panel with Playlist Manager is created, the toolbar buttons at the bottom are initially invisible. This is affected by the "UI" -> "Button Toolbar..." setting:

Okay, I created a new panel to check the behavior, and they actually start invisible (presumably black on black). But then when I change the setting, and afterwards return it to default, they remain visible. So the problem is permanently resolved for a given panel after changing the setting once.

This behavior was observed on Linux with Wine 8.7-1

Describe the bug
I've been getting this error when adding or removing tracks from a playlist:

Playlist generation failed while writing file 'Z:\home\lutra.foobar2000\profile\playlist_manager[Q] Queue.m3u8'.

When I check the playlist folder, the file is inexplicably gone. This has happened multiple times with two different playlists. Both playlists have the [ ] characters in the name, so maybe that's a cause, but maybe it's just coincidence cos those are the only playlists I edit a lot.

When I select "update playlist file" it unsurprisingly tells me

Playlist file does not exist: [Q] Queue
Path: Z:\home\lutra.foobar2000\profile\playlist_manager[Q] Queue.m3u8

"Clone as..." and "Copy playlist file to..." options do nothing, so they can't be used to restore the file.

When I restart Foobar, the playlist is gone from the UI as well.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add or remove tracks from a playlist with [ ] in the name.
2. Wait for auto-saving or select "Update playlist file"

Expected behavior
Playlist file is updated according to the UI playlist.

Can this be possible to allow a left click to load the playlist?

Currently, the double left click is buggy and doesn't load the playlist most of the time. As far as I can see the RMB does nothing so can it be mapped to show the menu? Pretty sure this is better UIX.
