Custom Node 0.9 is here with lots of improvements

[Pablo]

The new version of the Custom Node script is available. It incorporates most of the suggestions received. The code is already over 700 lines, so I'm not posting it here. You can find the help file, including what's new and instructions, here: http://students.washington.edu/~shmerki ... omNode.htm. You can download the script here: http://students.washington.edu/%7Eshmer ... de.0.9.vbs.

Here are some examples to give you an idea of what the new version can do:

Code: Select all

Comments\<comment|trim:25|all:no>

(shows first 25 characters of the comment field. Doesn't show the All node. You'd be surprised of how many tracks have comments you weren't aware of!)

Code: Select all

Album Artist\<album artist|trim:1|all:no>\<album artist>\<album|sort by:first(year)>

(similar to Octopod's Artist by year node. Thanks to Dipinto and Octopod for coming up with the idea. Shows the all node at all but the first level).

Code: Select all

Album by avg bitrate\<album|sort by:avg(bitrate)>

(Show all of your albums sorted by its average bitrate)

Code: Select all

Playlist by artist\<artist>\<playlist>

(for each artist, shows the playlists which contain tracks from that artist. Only works for regular playlists).

Code: Select all

Country\<country>\<album artist>\<album|sort by:max(year)>

(assumes that one of your custom fields have been renamed to "country")

Code: Select all

Small mistake\<comments>

(The program informs there's an error and allows editing to correct it)

Code: Select all

Artists by rating\<artist|all:no>\<rating>

(If you want to play only highly rated tracks from a given artist)

Very VERY cool

[Octopod]

Hey, seems this is the WEEK OF THE SCRIPT here!
Persistence is really cool, thanks for sharing such a script.

For future versions: allow user to select only a node to be destroyed (eg. a submenu in front of "delete all custom nodes")

Octopod, in case you didn't notice, you can delete a specific custom node by editing its caption to the empty string. Not the most intuitive way of doing it, but it was easy to implement
