New in foo ui columns 2.1.0 Beta 1 (Jul 23, 2023)
- Features:
- A playlist selector toolbar was added. [#729]
- Grouping in the built-in playlist view was updated [#770]:
- each grouping level is no longer indented
- padding either side of artwork was reduced
- artwork reflection is now disabled by default
- The built-in playlist view now remembers vertical scroll positions of playlists after closing and reopening foobar2000, on foobar2000 2.0 and newer. [#742, #743]
- If the focused item in a non-active playlist changes, the built-in playlist view now scrolls to that focused item when the playlist is next activated. [#746]
- In the playlist switcher and playlist tabs, when adding items to a playlist using drag and drop, the first new item added to the playlist is now focused. [#746]
- The behaviour of Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+A was made consistent across edit controls that are part of Columns UI itself. [#735, #740]
- A built-in icon for the stop after current command was added to the Buttons toolbar. [#757, #762]
- When title formatting is used in the playlist switcher panel, typing in the panel now always searches by the actual playlist name and not the displayed title. [#738]
- The Item details panel no longer reads full metadata from non-playing files on foobar2000 2.0 and newer, as full metadata is always available on these versions. [#734]
- Dark menus were enabled on Windows 11 build 22631. [#771]
- Bug fixes:
- In the themed and system colour schemes, if ‘Use custom active item frame’ is enabled, the configured colour is now correctly shown on the preferences page and used for the focused item frame in supported panels. [#754]
- Previously, changing the colour had no effect on the actual colour used or shown in preferences. If you were using the themed or system colour schemes and had ‘Use custom active item frame’ enabled, the colour of the focused item frame may change after upgrading due to the saved custom colour now correctly being used.
- List views no longer use a dotted active (focused) item frame by default in dark mode when the themed scheme is active. [#755]
- Inline editing in list views now always saves and exits when clicking outside the edit box. [#769]

- Live editing no longer misbehaves when right-clicking on scroll bars. [#741]
- Visual glitches when toggling the Show toolbars option were fixed. [#750]
