CHANGELOG.md

v2.3.6.1

• on_focus callback was not always being triggered

v2.3.6

• A new IGdiBitmap InvertColours method has been added.
• Minor sample fixes.

v2.3.5

• Add plman.GetPlaylistLockFilterMask. It's recommended that you replace any usage of plman.IsPlaylistLocked with this as you can now determine the type of locks in place.
• Add plman.GetPlaylistLockName.
• Restore compatibility with foo_popup_panels when used from within default UI. This was broken in v2.3.4.
• fb.CheckClipboardContents and fb.GetClipboardContents no longer require a window_id parameter. If supplied, it will be silently ignored.
• Minor sample fixes.

v2.3.4

• The size and position of the Properties Window is now remembered. In addition, the size and position of the Configuration Window is now shared as a global setting rather than per panel instance like it was previously.
• on_size calls are now suppressed when the panel width or height is zero.
• Improve behaviour of Pseudo Transparent mode to be like older versions. Some changes were made during the 2.2.x series that made panels not configured with the Panel Stack Splitter Forced layout option glitch more than they should.
• The project is now MIT licensed.

v2.3.3.1

• Add utils.ReadUTF8. It's preferable to use this when you know the file is UTF8 encoded... such as ones written by utils.WriteTextFile. Continue to use utils.ReadTextFile if the files are UCS2-LE, ANSI or unknown.

v2.3.3

• Fix rare crash with utils.ReadTextFile.

v2.3.2

• Add IMetadbHandleList OptimiseFileLayout. Also takes an optional minimise argument. With minimise set to false, provides the functionality of Utilities>Optimize file layout or if minimise is true then Utilities>Optimize file layout + minimize file size. Unlike the context menu versions, there is no prompt.
• Properly fix Return/Tab key usage in the Find/Replace dialog.

v2.3.1

• Fix a nasty editor bug that caused the component to crash while typing. Versions 2.3.0-2.3.0.2 were all affected so upgrading immediately is highly recommended!

v2.3.0.2

• Find/Replace dialog fixes.
• Fix Thumbs sample so Last.fm artist art downloads work again.
• Restore Clear button to the Properties dialog.

v2.3.0.1

• Make utils.ColourPicker remember Custom colours for the lifetime of foobar2000 being open.

v2.3.0

• Drop support for foobar2000 v1.3.x. Now requires v1.4 or later.
• Add utils.DateStringFromTimestamp and utils.TimestampFromDateString.
• The Properties dialog has been rewritten and there is no longer any Clear or Delete buttons. Now you can multi-select using your mouse and combinations of Ctrl/Shift keys. There is a right click menu to Select All/Select None/Invert selection and Remove. Ctrl+A and the Delete keyboard shortcuts are also supported.
• The list view under File>Preferences>Tools>JScript Panel now supports inline editing from a single click on the value. You no longer double click items to open a new dialog.
• The following methods no longer support the previously optional force parameter.

window.Repaint();
window.RepaintRect(x, y, w, h);
ITitleFormat Eval() // returns an empty string when not playing

• The following methods no longer support the previously optional flags parameter. All commands are ran if they exist. It no longer matters if they are hidden or not.

fb.RunContextCommand(command);
fb.RunContextCommandWithMetadb(command, handle_or_handle_list);

• These previously optional parameters have been removed:

IContextMenuManager BuildMenu "max_id"
IMainMenuManager BuildMenu "count"
utils.CheckComponent "is_dll"
utils.WriteTextFile "write_bom" (writing a BOM is no longer supported)

• plman.PlayingPlaylist is now a read-only property.
• The IPlaylistRecyclerManager interface has been removed and replaced with fixed plman methods. All previous functionality remains. Look at the docs for plman.RecyclerCount.
• fb.GetLibraryRelativePath has been removed. Use IMetadbHandleList GetLibraryRelativePaths instead.
• utils.FileTest has been removed and replaced with the following 4 new methods. There is no replacement for split mode.

utils.Chardet(filename)
utils.GetFileSize(filename)
utils.IsFile(filename)
utils.IsFolder(folder)

• The Grab focus checkbox in the Configuration Window and the dragdrop PREPROCESSOR have both been removed. Both features are disabled by default but are automatically enabled if relevant callbacks like on_drag_drop or on_key_up are present in the script.

v2.2.2.4

• Fix bug introduced in v2.2.2.1 which prevented images loaded with gdi.Image / gdi.LoadImageAsync being deleted/overwritten after Dispose() had been called.

v2.2.2.3

• Fix IMetadbHandleList MakeDifference method.

v2.2.2.2

• Fix broken descriptions for main menu items in the keyboard shortcut preferences. Thanks to TheQwertiest for spotting and providing the fix.

v2.2.2.1

• Remove optional force argument from fb.GetFocusItem as it had no effect. No errors will be thrown if present but it will be ignored.
• Various sample fixes. Volume now scales at the same rate as the Default UI volume slider. Thumbs has been fixed to work with Last.fm site update.
• Compiled with latest foobar2000 SDK.

v2.2.2

• Fix broken colour handling in IGdiBitmap GetColourSchemeJSON. The original code by MordredKLB was good but I broke it so apologies for that.
• IGdiBitmap GetColourScheme has been removed. See this page for how to use the better JSON method mentioned above.

https://kbuffington.github.io/foo_jscript_panel/foo_jscript_panel/Breaking-Changes.html

v2.2.1.1

• Restore access to the Configuration Window via the Columns UI Preferences layout tab. Although buggy, access needs to remain to recover from installing bad scripts.
• Fix various sample problems reported on the foobar2000 forums such as main menu Edit items not always being available and some JS-Smooth overflow errors.

v2.2.1

• Revert all timer related changes made in v2.2.0.2-v2.2.0.3. Although tested and working fine on my main machine, it caused crashes on Windows XP and foobar2000 not to exit properly when running inside a Windows 7 virtual machine. Apologies for any inconvenience!

v2.2.0.3

• Fix potential freeze on shutdown caused by timer threads. Thanks to TheQwertiest.
• Access to the Configuration Window via the Layout tab in the Columns UI Preferences has been blocked. The Configure Panel... button will now be grayed out. Always use the context menu on the panel itself.
• Some minor sample bugs have been fixed.

v2.2.0.2

• Revert some changes made in v2.2.0 which may have broken various scripts that made use of plman (Playlist Manager) methods/properties. It would typically be noticeable if you had no playlists on startup or removed all playlists.

v2.2.0.1

• Fix issue introduced in v2.2.0 where some colours with certain levels of alpha transparency were not handled properly.

v2.2.0

• Remove window.DlgCode. The docs were wrong, behaviour was inconsistent between Default UI and Columns UI and it's just not needed. Support for all keys will be enabled if you check Grab focus in the Configuration Window. All instances will need removing from scripts. If you want to support this and older components with the same script, do something like:

if ('DlgCode' in window) { window.DlgCode = 4; }

• fb.RunMainMenuCommand, fb.RunContextCommand, fb.RunContextCommandWithMetadb have all been rewritten and must be supplied with the full path to their commands. Case is not important. You should use forward slashes with no spaces. eg: fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Library/Search").
• All files imported to the Configuration Window, Preferences>Tools or included in a script via the import PREPROCESSOR directive must be UTF8 encoded (with or without BOM). utils.ReadTextFile is unaffected although it should have better UTF8 detection than before.
• The default write_bom argument for utils.WriteTextFile when omitted is now false.
• The code that parses the PREPROCESSOR section has been rewritten from scratch. The only difference is that double quotes in the name/author no longer need to be escaped so they will be duplicated if you did this previously.
• window.GetColourCUI and window.GetFontCUI no longer accept the previously optional client_guid argument.
• Add menu toolbar to Configuration Window which provides quick access to all included samples and docs. You can now Import/Export scripts via the File menu. The Reset option now properly resets all settings.
• The preset colour schemes previously bundled inside the Colour Schemes folder can now be loaded directly from the main preferences under Tools>JScript Panel.
• Add utils.ListFiles and utils.ListFolders.
• Update fb.CreateHandleList to take an optional handle argument to create a list containing a single item.
• Add IMetadbHandle GetAlbumArt method which returns the image and path without the need for using utils.GetAlbumArtAsync and on_get_album_art_done.
• utils.FileTest can now query files over 4GB in size when in s mode.
• Various sample fixes.
• Lots of internal code refactoring and external dependency updates.
• If you browse the component folder and notice the jscript.api and interface.api files are missing, it's intentional. The contents are now included inside the component.

v2.1.8

• Add IMetadbHandleList RemoveAttachedImages method.
• There are no longer any limitations managing attached images. Working with the playing file is now supported. Thanks to Peter for the new SDK release and the help I needed!

v2.1.7.2

• Fix various sample bugs.
• Compile component with latest foobar2000 SDK.

v2.1.7.1

• Images loaded by gdi.LoadImageAsync are no longer locked by the process.
• Correctly bump utils.Version - it wasn't updated in v2.1.7.

v2.1.7

• Add IMetadbHandleList AttachImage / RemoveAttachedImage methods. There are some limitations!!

v2.1.6

• Add IContextMenuManager InitContextPlaylist method which shows playlist specific options not available when passing a handle list to InitContext.
• Update JSPlaylist and JS Smooth Playlist samples with the above method.

v2.1.5.2

• utils.InputBox is now centred when you open it plus you can now detect when the user presses Cancel.

• gr.GdiDrawText no longer has any return value.

v2.1.5.1

• Fix incorrect spelling on the Cancel button in utils.InputBox.

v2.1.5

• Add utils.InputBox method.
• Update samples in complete folder with above method - input is no longer truncated at 254 characters.
• Remove fromhook argument from on_metadb_changed callback. From now on, it will always be undefined.
• Ensure JSPlaylist doesn't load the same font more than once. Previously it was using gdi.Font inside on_paint which is bad practice.

v2.1.4

• Add on_dsp_preset_changed callback.
• Add fb.GetDSPPresets and fb.SetDSPPreset methods.
• Add IMetadbHandleList GetLibraryRelativePaths method.
• Add IMetadbHandleList Convert method which converts a handle list to an array of handles.

v2.1.3

• Add fb.GetOutputDevices and fb.SetOutputDevice methods.
• Add on_output_device_changed callback.
• JSPlaylist / JS Smooth Browser/Playlist, make right click behaviour consistent with other playlist/library viewers. Holding Shift should now show hidden context menu items.
• Playback now restarts when changing replaygain mode with fb.ReplaygainMode.

v2.1.2

• foobar2000 v1.3.x is now supported. v1.3.x users must make sure they have the Visual C++ 2017 redist installed: https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

v2.1.1

• A new IGdiBitmap GetColourSchemeJSON method has been added. Thanks to MordredKLB for the contribution.
• Fix script error when dragging items on to JSPlaylist / JS Smooth Playlist with no active playlist.

v2.1.0.2

• Fix crash when supplying plman.IsAutoPlaylist/plman.IsPlaylistLocked with an invalid playlistIndex.

v2.1.0.1

• Add plman.RemovePlaylistSwitch method. Unlike plman.RemovePlaylist, this automatically sets another playlist as active if removing the active playlist.
• Update JS Smooth Playlist Manager and JSPlaylist to make use of the above method which should fix some previous buggy behaviour whem removing playlists.

v2.1.0

• Requires foobar2000 v1.4 Beta 8 or later.
• The drag/drop functionality has been completely rewritten by TheQwertiest. This will break all existing scripts which allow dragging in files from external sources. The ability to drag handle lists from JScript Panel to other panels has been added. The included playlist samples have been updated so they're compatible but they do not make use of the new functionality.
• Add on_replaygain_mode_changed callback.
• The behaviour of plman.AddLocations with the select argument set to true has been slightly modified.

• The IMetadbHandleList OrderByRelativePath method now takes subsong index in to account. Thanks to WilB for reporting.
• plman.GetPlaybackQueueContents has been restored after being removed in the v2 cleanse. It's the only way to determine if a single playlist item has been queued more than once. Note that each IPlaybackQueueItem is read-only.
• The Properties dialog size and layout have been tweaked.

v2.0.4

• New plman.FindPlaylist and plman.FindOrCreatePlaylist methods have been addded.
• on_library_items_added, on_library_items_changed, on_library_items_removed now return a handle list of affected items.
• Various doc tidy up/fixes. Some plman methods have been updated to return -1 on failure.

v2.0.3

• utils.WriteTextFile now takes an optional write_bom argument. It defaults to true if omitted. If false, then the resulting file should be UTF8 without BOM.
• Tidy up docs and IMenuObj interface. See the Breaking Changes page for details.

v2.0.2

• Fix random component crash caused by utils.WriteTextFile.
• Fix JS-Smooth script image caching feature choking on some images. The breakage was introduced by me in v2.0.1.2 as I attempted to update some old code. Thanks to always.beta for reporting.

v2.0.1.2

• As part of the v2 update, I accidentally broke the ability to drag tracks within JSPlaylist. This has now been fixed.

v2.0.1.1

• Add usage notes to Rating and Last.fm Lover samples. Rating can now tag files or use the JScript Panel Playback Stats database in addition to using foo_playcount like it did before.
• A Queue Viewer script has been added to the samples\complete folder. It has a couple of basic options on the right click menu.

v2.0.1

• Add Last.fm Lover sample. Imports all loved tracks from Last.fm in to the new JScript Panel Playback Stats database. All loved tracks will have the value of %JSP_LOVED% set to 1 which is available in all components/search. You can then love/unlove tracks by clicking the heart icon. Obviously this requires a Last.fm account. Use the right click menu to set your username and authorise the script.
• The timer mechanism behind window.SetInterval and window.SetTimeout has been completely rewritten by TheQwertiest. Previously, it was limited to 16 instances and then it would fail causing random buggy behaviour in some advanced scripts.
• Fix ListenBrainz not clearing its cache after a successful submission. Thanks to zeremy for reporting.
• Fix Thumbs sample not deleting images.

v2.0.0

• Requires foobar2000 v1.4. It will not load with anything earlier.
• fb.Trace has been removed and replaced with a native console.log method. It takes multiple arguments as before.
• All callbacks/methods with Color in the name have been renamed with Colour. This will break most scripts!

on_colors_changed -> on_colours_changed
utils.ColorPicker -> utils.ColourPicker
utils.GetSysColor -> utils.GetSysColour
window.GetColorCUI -> window.GetColourCUI
window.GetColorDUI -> window.GetColourDUI
IGdiBitmap GetColorScheme -> GetColourScheme

• The IPlaybackQueueItem interface and plman.CreatePlaybackQueueItem method have been removed.
• plman.GetPlaybackQueueContents has been replaced with plman.GetPlaybackQueueHandles which returns a handle list. You can check the Count property so there is no longer any need for plman.GetPlaybackQueueCount and plman.IsPlaybackQueueActive which have been removed.
• on_refresh_background_done and window.GetBackgroundImage have both been removed.
• The IGdiBitmap BoxBlur method has been removed. Use StackBlur instead.
• IContextMenuManager InitContext only accepts a handle list as an argument.
• Anyone who has a js_settings folder in their foobar2000 profile folder from using my previous samples should move the contents in to the js_data folder. Typically, this would be autoplaylists.json, thumbs.ini, listenbrainz.ini.
• Enable Windows XP support. Also, support for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and WINE with IE7/IE8 has been restored. ES5 features are still supported for those with IE9 or later. If your scripts crash after upgrading and making the changes outlined above, make sure to check the Script Engine setting in the Configuration Window.
• Add utils.WriteTextFile. Always creates a UTF8-BOM file.
• Add window.Name property.
• Add a custom Playback Stats backend and handle methods for writing values.

• Component now reports version on script error.
• JSPlaylist and JS Smooth Playlist have been unable to tag files since v1.3.0 when foo_playcount was missing.

v1.3.2.1

• Add fb.AlwaysOnTop property. Can be used to read or write the setting. A new on_always_on_top_changed callback has been added to detect when it changes via any other means such as using the menu, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

v1.3.2

• Improved handling of UTF8 files without BOM. This affects files loaded via the PREPROCESSOR section and the Configuration Window>Tools>Import button. They should now be treated the same as files with BOM.

v1.2.3.3

• Fix typo in MusicBrainz sample. Thanks to zeremy for spotting.
• ListenBrainz now has caching/retry support. It's my first attempt at this so please report any issues! I also need reports of any code 400 errors from the server as the script will need updating before these tracks can be submitted successfully.
• Br3tt's JS Smooth scripts are now bundled with the component and the separate repository has been nuked.

v1.2.3.2

• ListenBrainz sample - fix musicbrainz track id not being submitted from m4a files.

v1.2.3.1

• Add Last.fm Bio, Allmusic and ListenBrainz samples. Thumbs can download images from Last.fm again but only manually.

v1.2.3

• Add fb.ReplaygainMode. Can be used to retrieve or set the value.
• Hide JScript Panel main menu items. Given they're meant for binding to to keyboard shortcuts/standard buttons, there is no need for them to be visible. Hold Shift if you really want to access them from the menu.
• Fix IMetadbHandleList MakeUnion method and update docs with examples for MakeUnion, MakeDifference and MakeIntersection methods.

v1.2.2

• Add new on_main_menu callback. 10 main menu items have been created meaning you can now bind them to global keyboard shortcuts, standard toolbar buttons, etc and have them run your own custom code.

v1.2.1

• Fix bug where the playing item handle was never sent to the on_playback_edited callback even though the docs said it would.
• Tidy up docs and auto-complete hints for on_metadb_changed and on_selection_changed.

• Remove Delay load from Configuration Window.

v1.1.6.2

• Fix bug with plman.AddLocations where the original order of the supplied array wasn't maintained. Also, the progress dialog should be hidden for short operations.

v1.1.6.1

• Minor changes to Console logging on startup.
• The complete samples folder has 2 new scripts: Thumbs and Text reader. Thumbs allows the display/cycling of multiple images in a given folder. Text reader displays the contents of any plain text file. Title formatting can be used to specify the folder/file paths.

v1.1.6

• Add IGdiBitmap StackBlur method.
• Update ApplyMask sample.

v1.1.5.1

• Add Open component folder to default right click menu. This provides quick access to the docs and samples.

v1.0.0 (Compared to WSH Panel Mod 1.5.6)

• Given the name, it obviously doesn't support VBScript.
• Due to using updated library files, support for Windows XP has been dropped.
• Compiled with new foobar2000 SDK. Requires foobar2000 v1.3 or above.
• Remove functions marked as obsolete 3+ years ago. Obviously there are replacements that been around even longer.

window.WatchMetadb
window.UnWatchMetadb
window.CreateTimerTimeout
window.CreateTimerInterval

UpdateFileInfo

• Remove all these fb methods because plman (Playlist Manager) methods also exist.

fb.CreatePlaylist
fb.RemovePlaylist
fb.RenamePlaylist
fb.DuplicatePlaylist
fb.MovePlaylist
fb.ActivePlaylist
fb.PlayingPlaylist
fb.PlaylistCount
fb.PlaylistItemCount
fb.GetPlaylistName
fb.PlaybackOrder

• Even though plman alternatives of these fb methods did not exist, I've removed them for consistency.

fb.CreateAutoPlaylist
fb.IsAutoPlaylist
fb.ShowAutoPlaylistUI

• Because of the above change, plman.CreateAutoPlaylist, plman.IsAutoPlaylist and plman.ShowAutoPlaylistUI have been created to replace them.
• plman.GetPlaylistFocusItemHandle has been removed because it's identical to fb.GetFocusItem which is more commonly used.
• utils.GetAlbumArt removed as the corresponding function has been removed from the foobar2000 SDK. utils.GetAlbumArtAsync, utils.GetAlbumArtEmbedded and utils.GetAlbumArtV2 are still present.

// @feature "v1.4"
// @feature "watch-metadb"

• Due to the above change, on_metadb_changed will only receive a handle list and never a handle as the first argument. Also, on_selection_changed won't receive a handle argument.
• Add fb.GetLibraryItems() method. Returns a handle list of all items in library.
• Add fb.IsLibraryEnabled().
• Add fb.ShowLibrarySearchUI(query) opens the Library>Search window populated with the query you set.

• Add on_library_items_removed callback.
• Add on_library_items_changed callback.
• Add plman.AddLocations(playlistIndex, paths[, select]).
• Add plman.ClearPlaylist(playlistIndex). Use to clear a specified playlist. fb.ClearPlaylist still exists because it is just a shortcut to the Edit menu command which clears the active playlist.
• Add plman.GetQueryItems(source_handlelist, query) returns an unsorted handle list. Consider using OrderByFormat, etc on the result.
• Add plman.UndoBackup(playlistIndex). If you call this before adding/removing/reordering playlist items, you will be able to use the undo/redo commands on the Edit menu.
• Add CalcTotalDuration() handle list method. returns the total in seconds.
• Add CalcTotalSize() handle list method. returns the total in bytes.
• Add utils.FormatDuration(seconds). Returns a string like 3wk 2d 1:30:21.
• Add utils.FormatFileSize(bytes). Returns a string like 7.9 GB.
• window.CreateToolTip now takes optional font name, font size (px) and style arguments. eg window.CreateToolTip("Segoe UI", 32, 1). Defaults of Segoe UI, 12 and 0 are used if omitted.
• Default right click menu now has a Reload script option. This saves opening/closing the dialog when working on external files. In addition, a new window.Reload method has been added so you can force a panel reload with your own menus, buttons, etc.
• Script errors are now displayed in a popup window in addition to the Console like it was previously.
• EstimateLineWrap no longer leaves stray punctuation when wrapping text at end of line.
• IMetadbHandle FileSize now works with JScript engine. Previously, it only worked with JScript9.
