No Longer Available

OMG, to say I am going to enjoy using this one is an understatement. And you have given it an appropriate name, because I am going to love playing in this sandbox. Just one suggestion and I am having one problem.

Instead of the song id popping up when you mouseover, can you change it to the Artist, I have several versions of songs with the same title, so I would like to know which version I am using? Second, I seem to be having trouble dragging tracks to the panel here at work. Now I tried it for a minute or two when I was home and it was working but here doesn't seem to be working. When I drag tracks to the panel, it goes blank and hitting the refresh or the ok button doesn't seem to do anything. Now it may have something to with something, because the tracks in the panel look different then when I was at home. Here they are in little boxes. But as I said I only looked at it for a minute or two at home and that was before I had any caffeine in me.

EDIT: Here's a pic of what I mean:

You can't drag tracks on to it you still have to drag them to the playlist node or right click and send to playlist but then click refresh so you can put them in the right order using the panel then click ok when your statisfied.

I can't release a new version atm (its time for bed) but you might like to change line 204 from this

Code: Select all

    ThisInnerHTML = ThisInnerHTML & "<li class=""" & "even_border" & """ id=""li1_" & xCounter+1 & """ title=""" & SongList.Item(xCounter).ID & """>" & SongList.Item(xCounter).Title & "</li>"

to

Code: Select all

    ThisInnerHTML = ThisInnerHTML & "<li class=""" & "even_border" & """ id=""li1_" & xCounter+1 & """ title=""" & SongList.Item(xCounter).ID & """>" & SongList.Item(xCounter).Title & " - " & SongList.Item(xCounter).ArtistName & "</li>"

PS what it looks like depends on what monkeyrok skin you have installed (if you have one)
I think I remember telling you how to add the odd and even_border classes for the properties panel maybe you didnt do it at home?

Ok, I don't remember what I tried at home, so I will play with it more at home.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Since I took my external drive home, I only have a shell version available at the moment and I don't think this one has the odd/even info included. Thanks.

BTW, GREATTTTTTT job with this one. Playlists are one of the main features that I use MM for so this one will get a lot of mileage....

Seriously, for a control freak who has a large case of OCB, static playlists are a way of life.

BTW: I am LOVING this script, it is making my job much easier. I think I will take some time this weekend reorganizing and condensing some of my playlists. The only problem is, I have seriously run out of room for panels, I am going to have to make some hard choices to get all my favorites displayed in an organized and functional way.

Hey

Love the script but I have a problem with dragging songs to playlists.
Whenever i drag songs over the list goes blank and a quicktime pulgin activates and starts playin the track
Can you help? Am i doing something or is it the script?

Kyno

P.S. I just installed v1.2 and am still having the problem

[MoDementia]

You can only drop the tracks onto the first section "Drop Tracks Here" anywhere else won't work

I don't have quicktime installed but if you are dropping tracks to the correct spot I will install it and have a look

[Kynotzib]

Didn't notice that, duh

Thanx, works if i drop in the right place

Kyno

[MoDementia]

Thank God, I was dreading installing Quicktime

Glad you like it, enjoy your time in the sandbox

Hi MoDementia

I am actually using the Sandbox v1.2 for building a playlist for a friend. The final playlist will be used to burn a MP3 CD.
I just love this script, it fill a missing feature of MM as it let us visually build playlists by drag & drop. Excellent.

My point is that I need not to exceed the 700MB limit of a CD, but have no clue of what size the list is.

Is it possible to add an indicator for Total Length/Filesize to the script?

I'm using it undocked, outside of MM so it's easier to work with, and I think the size info would fit nicely in the title bar.
It's only an idea, YOU are the scripter.

Thank you!

[MoDementia]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is possible, good idea I'll have a look soon

Glad you love it
