3.4.x

3.4.30#

  • Fix bug when using window.Reload() from inside the on_mouse_rbtn_up callback.
  • Fix issue introduced in 3.4.20 where main menu items created as keyboard shortcuts only (never displayed) were not executed by fb.RunMainMenuCommand.
  • Fix Smooth Playlist Manager bug where it didn't auto scroll to the active playlist on startup.

3.4.29#

  • The following plman methods used to return a boolean value to indicate success but they have now been updated to not return any value. 
    plman.ExecutePlaylistDefaultAction
plman.MovePlaylist
plman.MovePlaylistSelection
plman.MovePlaylistSelectionV2
plman.RemovePlaylist
plman.RemovePlaylists
plman.RemovePlaylistSwitch
plman.ReplacePlaylistItem
plman.ShowAutoPlaylistUI
plman.ShowPlaylistLockUI
plman.SortByFormat
plman.SortByFormatV2
    Most already have playlistIndex checks in place to throw script errors if they are invalid. The correct thing to do in most instances is to check playlist lock status before attempting any action. There are functions in helpers.txt to assist with this.

3.4.28#

  • Add fb.VersionString property. Provides the same string as %_foobar2000_version% but has [x86] or [x64] appended if using foobar2000 2.0 or later.
  • The Status Bar sample has been updated to display the above version string when playback is stopped. Existing users will need to re-import using the Samples button.

  • Update Smooth Browser group settings so the full %date% is displayed in Album mode.

3.4.17#

3.4.16#

  • Update Scintilla library used for code highlighting. The last release may have had a bug related to undo/redo.
  • JS Playlist and Smooth Playlist have been updated so you can right click in a blank area and Paste clipboard items. Previously, you had to select a valid playlist item and it was impossible to Paste in an empty playlist.

  • Add new Text Display + Album Art + Seekbar + Buttons sample.
  • Fix bug with original Text Display where the fonts/rgb internet link was broken.
  • Fix bug with Minimal Seekbar where the seekbar knob overlapped the length text at the end of a track. Existing users will need to re-import using the Samples button.

3.4.12#

  • Add IMetadbHandleList Reverse.
  • Add Playback Order button to the following scripts. The original Playback Buttons has been left untouched. 
    Playback Buttons + Playback Order
Track Info + Seekbar + Buttons
Track Info + Seekbar + Buttons + Volume

    Existing users will need to re-import using the Samples button. If it's not immediately obvious which mode each icon represents, tooltips give the full name.

  • Transparency is now reserved exclusively for genuine Columns UI toolbars. Adding as a Toolbar via the Columns UI Layout settings will have no effect and it will be a normal panel with a solid colour background. Reverted in 3.4.10.

    • The Gallery page has been updated with more notes on exclusive title formatting features only available in this component.
