Pane Buttons



Description

This add-on adds a button to your status bar to show & hide player controls.

It adds a button to the titlebar to switch to miniplayer and back.
This also supports the Medium Players "More Gonzo" and "Pure Player".

It adds a button to show/hide the Equalizer window, too.

Also it enables the "hide right service pane"-button in library-view. (By default it is available only in browser-view.)

But most important, it adds toolbar-buttons for media-views. Supported are:

* Album View * BirdQuizz * Divided Tag Cloud * Duplicated Tracks * Filter Pane (default) * Ghost Tracks * Griddy * List (default) * List-less Filters * MediaFlow * ♪Photo * Spotbird Artist Browser * Vertical Filter Pane * Grid View * Album List *... Something is missing here? Leave a note!

If you like this add-on, you can help me by translating it on Babelzilla. Thanks.




Release Notes

Big update, some bugs might be on board!
Also some feathers might need an update, to skin the (new) buttons properly.

* 80% rewritten the code, to make it more efficient, especially for MiniPlayer/MediumPlayer/Pure Player
* Fixed some Errors.
* Changed the Layout of options.
* Added new Option: Show Equalizer-Button.
* Added Feature: The states of Service-Pane and Player-Controls should now be stable between restarts, feather-switches and tab-changes.
* Added danish Translation. (Thanks, Joergen!)
If you want to help with the translations, come to Babelzilla.

... and the left bottom pane?

I just usually don't change left-bottom-pane (album-art, for me) and I guessed other people don't want to, too :-)

You could use a button for that one, too? I implement that, if you want.

You are simply on the ball. Am I to assume that you will be incorporating buttons for the various media views? Stevo just launched two NICE ones.

@deomega, yeah, stevos new views rock! But do you think buttons for mediaviews would be helpful? Switching through the button in the nav-bar is quite easy & fast, yet.

hmm, maybe not needed.. Maybe I need to get accustomed to the drop-down list for views... though the list has gotten longer now that he has added 2 more great ones. Thanks for considering though.

@deomega: yeah, the list is getting longer :-D And I'm not quite accustomed to the drop-down list, too. (In fact i discovered the existence of this button yesterday :-x ) I'll wait some days, and if I don't get used to it, this would be my next step:

There's lots of space in nav-bar (next to the dropdown-button), I could create buttons for every media-view and put them there. Of course the user should be able to select the buttons to show in an option-pane, otherwise clarity would not be granted.

The thing with the media view button is if you go onto the web with songbird, the browser address area takes up that space, but I am sure you would know how to work around it :) Either case, I am one of those that certainly welcome a few more buttons.

@deomega: media-views are completely disabled when you are in browser mode, so you won't miss the buttons, then. I have to check out, how hard it is to implement the options. Never done this before.

Gah, damn not being able to edit comments :)

Would it be possible to define where the controls appear?

For instance, the pane toggle buttons can kind of get lost in between other items (last.fm, stylish, etc)

It would also be logical if the toggle buttons were over on the left hand side, along with the service pane toggle button.

Just (another) idea!

yeah, no ability to edit comments sucks :-D

the position of the buttons is just because it's the easiest way to put them there. I would put more effort in this add-on, but i'm focused on YABS. And i REALLY think my addon should be just provisionally! Switching these panes HAS to be possible without an extension. And an autohide-extension HAS to be created! :-D

The F11-function implemented in the nightlies is a good start...

So, well, sorry, if don't put much more work into this add-on. I hope you understand... ;-)

@awkwardsmile: thanks a lot! I wonder, why do you have two close-buttons in the window-bar in the screenshot with personas? In the new profile you haven't. Might be a sign for a corrupted profile.

Error log seems to be clear (for pane-button problem).

I posted something about this in the dev-group ( http://groups.google.com/group/songbird-dev/browse_thread/thread/434aa82c23349a26 ) and now wait for an answer.

If you would like to do some more testing, you could install all your addons used in the old profile in the new profile, one by one, and watch out, if the pane-buttons stop working at any point. If the buttons keep on working, it is a corrupt profile.

mh, i just figured out that you are using this one: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1

This add-on is not compatible with 0.7, like gmail notifier, you are using too. You can't expect to override compatibility without causing problems.

(I do this by myself, sometimes. But if I get an error, the first thing I try is to disable ALL incompatible add-ons. This solves the problems like every time.)

Anyway, i see what i can do...

I'm sorry, I found no solution. "System Tray Support" was build for Rubberducky, 5 month ago, not for Gonzo. A lot of things have changed since this. Source-code for some dll and xpt of the add-on is using is missing, too. Track the error down would just take too much effort and time, and I don't know if it is possible at all. SO... you will have to decide, which add-on to use, or get the system tray support - developer to update it to Gonzo. :-/

Very nice work, thank you.

A few things though:
- Add an option to disable the switch media view button. Since all the views have a button of their own (which I prefer), the switch button is only taking additional space.
- I have my player controls at the top and it looks really weird to have the button ti hide/show them in the bottom of the window. I can't really think of way to make this better, maybe add an option to disable the remove the button from there?
- Add a menu option to the "View" menu to hide/show the service pane just like the others on that menu.

That's it :)

@Nazgulled: Thanks for your suggestions!
1.) I'm working on an option-pane, where you can set all the buttons and behaviours of PaneButtons, I will add an option to hide the default media-view button there.
2.) Yeah, that does feel strange... but I guess there is no better place for it. How ever, like in 1.) said, you will be able to remove this button from the Statusbar.
3.) Good idea! I will give try to do that :-)

@JohnM: :-) it's even shown, if they don't have MediaFlow, at the moment :-p I thought about change its functionality to open your download-page, in that case, hihi... But an option pane will be the more clean solution, i guess.

That is the problem i was trying to explain.. I guess Mark did a better job explaining. hehe.. MY stuff disappeared after the upgrade....then i went into tools/addons, and saw no option to modify the pane buttons, so thought.. darn. And that s when i posted my dismay.. :)

But after going to tools/options/pane buttons, I saw the options there and realized what happened, so i was able to get them back.

Any way of enabling the options in tools/addons? Some modifiable addons have it there while some don't. Never understood why some has their options accessible one way but not the other.

Whoever rated this down should be kicked in the balls (you shouldn't hurt girls). This deserves a exact 5 star. Seriously, i added a new profile for some more testing on a feather I'm making, and Songbird just seems so lacking without this add-on. One suggestion though, could you do autohide for the service pane and player controls? That would be pretty neat, and maybe even be a separate add-on on it's own.

@Lib53: actually, i rated it 3 stars, because I'm not yet satisfied with it (*putting-on-my- jockstrap,-now* ;-)

Is it possible to have a MINI player button? If possible, up by the min, max, close buttons? We know we could doubleclick on the mini player to get to main app, but would be nice to have a click area for the mini player.

Man, could we get any lazier? :)

over 4 years ago

@deOmega: Yeah, that's a god idea, especially switching TO miniplayer takes two more mouse-actions than needed (no, i guess more lazier would cause death :)
I thought about that some times before, but i read somewhere this button would be re-added in 1.1. or something. But I now think they won't do it.

About the separators for the buttons: I think I don't spend time on this, because customizable tool-bars will come in one of the next Songbirds, and this might change a lot anyway.

I remember when you first did this addon, the buttons on the bottom right... they had a blue highlight to indicate which pane each button is related to. I see it is basically generic now and still, every time i try closing the bottom pane etc, I always have to stop and try to figure out which really apples to it. (Yeah, I am old and need new glasses.. heard that before :))

I think it would make sense to highlight, even in white, the side that is affected.. I may not be exactly clear, but I am pretty sure you will know what I mean. :)

@photon_man62: MediaFlow is currently implemented as a Media-View, not as a Display-Pane, so there is no way to show it in the bottom Panel.

@atreiu: With the new update came a bug, as well. If I close Songbird when it's in allied mode with Pure Player and I restart it or if I switch to Pure Player mode when Songbird is in allied mode with Pure Player and I switch to back to Main Player the little feather button is disappears. So the button is disappears if Songbird start with allied mode. The button is come back if I start Songbird alone or I go to the Pane Buttons preferences and click OK.

Thanks for putting me on to this extension - it's great to clear some screen space by closing the service panel.

However, I have the same feedback/problem as "Bitsbite" - it is unfortunate that the Service Pane pops back open if you return to the Media view from a browser tab. It would be better if it remembered your preference for keeping the Service Pane hidden.

Aside from that, I am a happy user. Thanks!

@NK4551: For me, the buttons are enabled again. Can you please tell me exactly what you've done? And can you tell me, what happens to your default media-view button (the one to drop-down all media views)? Because I just listen to this button and copy it's disabled/enabled state to my media-view buttons.

@deOmega: Good idea. I'm currently working on a new feather, that has a build-in equalizer-button, but it didn't come to my mind to make this an Pane-Button function. I'll do that later...

I wanted to cheep in and say I'm a big fan of this addon! I regularly use it just to hide the service pane. I'd also like to second the request to look into keeping it hidden when restarting the player, and clicking back to my music from the browser. I really appreciate your hard work, You're doing a lot to make Songbird a better player for everyone.

Scratch part of that, I hadn't used songbird in a while. The service pane is hidden between restarts, the clicking back from the browser is the only issue I'm having.

I just installed this, but now my Resume Last Track addon has stopped working. Are these two addons incompatible?

@DancemasterGlenn: Yeah, that behavior should be improved. But it's not as simple as it looks... pretty hard, actually. :-/

@marcus1704: Not that I know. I just tested it, and it works fine for me. The Track is resumed correctly. Please deactivate _all_ add-ons other than Pane Buttons & Last Track, and see if it then works. If it does, re-enable your other add-ons, one by one, and see when it breaks.

@atreiu: you were right, it was the 'Now Playing List' addon causing the problem - thanks.

The new update has fixed what you apparently thought was quite a difficult problem, so I wanted to say thank you very very much for working on it. The service pane is officially gone for me, and I couldn't be happier (I don't use many extensions from the service pane, and I don't save playlists). The addition of an equalizer button is also incredibly welcome. Great work, Atreiu!

@atreiu: Great update! I like the equalizer button!
But I have a problem with the new behavior of the show/hide service pane. In the previous version default setting was like Songbird works normally: service pane was on in media-tab and was off (automatically) in browser-tab. I used to like that because I need bigger screen when I browsing on the net, so I no need service pane at all (I turned it on just sometimes) but I need it all the time when I browsing in my library, listen to radio, edit playlist etc.. Now I have to click on the show/hide button all the time when I switch between media-tab and browser-tab.

Could you put an option into the preferences to switch between the previous behavior and the new one. Or an option to auto-hide the service pane in browser-tab would be great. Thank you! :P

@Hiromacu: If you need Service-Pane in the Library all the time, you can just disable the option "Enable button to show/hide service-pane in library". Then you should have the default songbird behavior. (Maybe I should set this as the "default" value after add-on installation...)

But if people want to hide Service-Pane in the Library, than the current behavior is the only consistent way, I think.

Hi atreiu, i was testing this add-on with Focus (coming along great. Almost done with the layout! i might need some help with getting the album art in though.) and i believe i spotted some typos found in this screenshot: http://i44.tinypic.com/10h7hj6.png. Those are supposed to be "of" right? I know it's not a serious bug or anything, but i thought i might as well bring it your attention. :P

Hi people. Its an excellent work.

This really must be a part of Songbird's basic install. By the way, it would be nice merge "Pane Buttons" and "More Gonzo".

Hide/show service pane in library mode to me is very very useful. Also the fullscreen capability of show/hide player controls.
