[Solved] Button to change behaviour in "Queue-tab" disappeared

[staubi]

I tried to make my own layouta and started by modifying the shimmer layout. First everything worked well, but then suddenly (I don't know what changed exactly before it started) the button in the bottom (to select the behaviour of the queue, like "wait for more", "stop when empty", "auto-fill", etc.) disappeared.

Here's a picture of the buttons I'm talking about:

(it's in german but I just offers the options listed above ;)

...and here is the code from my layout:

I think the relevant part should be:

Code Select Expand

QueueList(songtree=1,tabtitle=_"Warteliste (%n)",tabicon="",cols="queuenumber titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20 titleaa 248",showbb=1,hscrollbar=0)

[VastOne]

It is because you have change the queuelist behavior by turning it into a songtree named queuelist

queuelist is it's own set up variables built in (the "wait for more", "stop when empty", "auto-fill", etc)

Remove the

Code Select Expand


(songtree=1,tabtitle=_"Warteliste (%n)",tabicon="",cols="queuenumber titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20 titleaa 248",showbb=1,hscrollbar=0)

From the Queuelist line and the queue functions should return

[VastOne]

You also do not have anything defined for Queue functions ... I made the following edit to that line to get the queue functions you are looking for

Code Select Expand

NBList = (tabpos="bottom")FilterPane1(tabtitle="Filter",nb=1,showbb=1) VBQueue HBLyrics VBAlbuminfo VBArtistinfo
VBQueue = (tabtitle=_"Queue") HBQueueButtons _QueueList(group=1) Total(group=1)
HBQueueButtons = EditListButtons(group=1,small=1) 4QueueActions

FYI, you can also right click in the queue anywhere to get these same functions

[Quentin Sculo]

I think it's because you were using ochosi's ppa, there are a few changes in his version, and it is one of them (the showbb option). I plan to add it but I want to implement it differently, and haven't come around to do it yet.
Without it you have to add the buttons by using the QueueActions and/or EditListButtons widget like in VastOne's edit.

It is because you have change the queuelist behavior by turning it into a songtree named queuelist

No, the QueueList can be a songtree without any problem

[staubi]

Thanks for Your help!

Actually I'm using the tarball version from Your homepage  ;)

I added the changes the changes from VastOne

NBList = (tabpos="bottom")FilterPane1(tabtitle="Filter",nb=1,showbb=1) VBQueue HBLyrics VBAlbuminfo VBArtistinfo
VBQueue = (tabtitle=_"Warteliste (%n)") HBQueueButtons _QueueList(group=1) Total(group=1)
HBQueueButtons = EditListButtons(group=1,small=1) 4QueueActions

and finally I got the buttons back, but now all the buttons are in the top overlapping each other:



I'd like to get the "queueactions" back down!

Another smal error is that on the tab in the bottom it just shows (%n) instead of the actual number of queued tracks!

[VastOne]

@squentin, thanks for the correction...  ::)

@staubi

I would suggest this... Start with an easy and nicely laid out layout like this one

SimpleBigCover_modified2.layout

Code Select Expand

Default = Window size=800x600 FPane1 artistinfo=1 FPane2 albuminfo=1,albumpsize=32 HPmain 350_450
VolumeScroll = HPmain
Title            = %n. %S - %l (%y) - %a

HPmain = VBcontrolbrowser _TBlibrary
HSize0 = 400 TBlibrary

VBcontrolbrowser = HBcontrolpic _HBSongs _Cover
HBcontrolpic = _VBcontrol 2Filler1 -ArtistPic
  VBcontrol = HBbuttons _VBtext _Scale HBtimestars
   HBbuttons = Pref Prev Stop Play Next
   VBtext = _Title 2HBartist 2HBalbum
     HBartist = LockArtist _Artist
     HBalbum = LockAlbum _Album -Date
   HBtimestars = LabelTime Length -Stars
HBSongs = _TabbedLists2(mode=playlist, group=2)

TBlibrary = Library VPbrowse Queue VBque Lyrics Context(followselection=1)

  HBgenreartistalbum = _FPane0(hide=1,pages=genre) _FPane1(hide=1,pages=artist,nb=2) _FPane2(hide=1,pages=album,nb=3)
  VBundersearch = HBsearch _SongList
   HBsearch = _SimpleSearch ResetFilter Sort(button=1) Filter(button=1) MBsortandplay
    MBsortandplay = LSortItem PlayItem
VBque = _QueueList(group=1) HBQueueButtons
  HBQueueButtons = EditListButtons(group=1) QueueActions


It has what you want with the queue and is also very elegant in how it is in the file... a very good learning tool and file to build your own layout on, IMO

[Quentin Sculo]

Actually I'm using the tarball version from Your homepage  ;)

Yes, but I meant you *were* using it, and now you use my version, which doesn't have the showbb option that adds what you want.

To put it below you just have to put HBQueueButtons  after _QueueList(group=1) :

Code Select Expand

VBQueue = (tabtitle=_"Warteliste (%n)") _QueueList(group=1) HBQueueButtons  Total(group=1)
To prevent them overlapping you have to give them more room, as there are no options to make them smaller than that.

About the %n, IIRC it currently only works if the QueueList (or any SongTree/SongList) is alone in the tab.

[staubi]

Thanks for Your quick help!

Now it works!

I just don't get this:

About the %n, IIRC it currently only works if the QueueList (or any SongTree/SongList) is alone in the tab.

What do You mean by "alone in the tab"?
How do I set it back to SongTree mode?

[Quentin Sculo]

What do You mean by "alone in the tab"?

it means the QueueList must be the direct child of the tab, to add the buttons underneath, you need to put QueueList and the buttons in a container and the container in the tab, the container in this case is the direct child of the tab, not QueueList. So it's not currently (in my version) possible to both use the %n in the tab title and have the buttons underneath the QueueList.

How do I set it back to SongTree mode?

simply add songtree=1 to QueueList options
