tagnavi.config v2.0 syntax

[bascule]

Thanks, I have attached a slightly improved version (v0.2). Also I have some more ideas, but no time to try them.

Well, now I've got it working, I'll be working up my own version, but I'll keep the artist_initial listing, as that really gives me what I was looking for.

What patch are you talking about in your menue?

I'm having a hard time understanding the logic...

Since we got the "Basic format declarations" some of your menues disappear.
I've experimented some... replacing most of your format stuff with the basic declaration constants instead... It works..
But what baffels me is that if i use
title = "fmt_mostplayed"
it works but not if i copy the exact string from basic format declarations and use that as
title = "(%3d) %s" playcount title %sort = "inverse" %limit = "100"
wich.. in my world would be exactly the same thing but the menue option doesn't show up.

Should i add my own format constants in tagnavi_custom.conf?
Why didn't i think of that until now?

I've done some sort of update to your config... It works for me... I think...

(edit added " around fmt_mostplayed...)

#i wish this would work...
%format "fmt_title_artist"       "%s (%s)" title artist

So do I, but according to this table artist is not supported for formatting

As for your other questions, I've not played around with the formatting string, but you're right that if it does not appear, then it's because Rockbox chokes on the syntax...

I believe the theory is that you put all your personal changes in the ..._custom.cfg file, as then they are not lost if the default one changes for any reason.

Also, I have found replacing the Artist = "T" line with the following very useful to reduce the number of artist results:

Code: [Select]

"T"   -> artist ? artist ^ "T" & artist !^ "The " -> album  -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title
"The..."   -> artist ? artist ^ "The " -> album  -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title

Clever! (I'll nick that aswell)
But, again, i can't use formats unless they are constants...

I must be doing something wrong?

With Slasheri's introduction of conditional formats you now have to declare all format strings explicitly. I'll go and update the wiki...

It was a bit of a messy change, but my current file is attached for reference.

EDIT: wiki updated

%format "fmt_title_artist"       "%s (%s)" title artist

Now that should work.

Hi

I have a little problem with the following entrys in my tagnavi_custom.config

Code: [Select]

%format "fmt_leastplayed"   "%d %s (by %s)" playcount title artist %limit = "100"and

Code: [Select]

"Am wenigsten gespielte Titel" -> title = "fmt_leastplayed"
When i select the entry I get a splash with "Dir Buffer is Full!" and the listing is empty.
I have already increased the max files in dir limit to 10.000 and restarted, but it didn't help.
If i remove the '%limit = "100"' it works, but then the listing wouldn't make sense anymore.

Does someone have an idea why this isn't working?

The whole tagnavi_custom.config file is in the attachement.

Greatness, it does work indeed!
Thank you.

Btw, I can't redefine a format constant. It seems to work like a first hit filter not a variable assign. Just for info if someone is scratching their head.

PaulJam; I see the same error as you do... Even in the uisim where i've only got 30-40 files. Is it a bug?

Not sure what you mean by re-define. You can have multiple definitions with different conditions. TagTree will use the first one where the condition is true (see also Wiki and Slasheri's example).

Looking at Slasheri's example tagnavi, the error can be suppressed by having the condition  
? playcount > "0"
at the menu item line. I don't know if this just reduces the result set to a managable size (that would contradict xlarges observation of it happening with 30-40 files) or if the error is caused by something else. Maybe Slasheri has some insight.

Patience, patience. The 'multiple string tag' change came only after my last edit. Table now fixed (I am unsure about filename, length and playtime). Also, please feel free to edit the page yourself. It is a wiki after all.

Aah. That's clever.

In the example we have two "fmt_title";
%format "fmt_title" "%02d. %s" tracknum title ? tracknum > "0"
%format "fmt_title" "%s" title

Wich means that if a track hasn't got tracknum or it's not bigger than 0 it shows just title.

Thanks for pointing that out!

(Yes, it is a wiki after all... I've got an account, not authorized yet though)

FANTASTIC

That really does it for me, Rockbox now officially does everything I want it to do..

I have a perfect Tag Cache start-up screen, with my cool and clear browser list, I have Runtime DB-based browsing options and I have the smart BevelledRBX WPS, courtesy of dma

Thanks to Miika Pekkarinen and roolku for writing?/committing most of the Tag Cache stuff and for keeping the Tag Cache syntax Wiki up to date respectively and to all the Rockbox developers for an outstanding product.

I must be doing something rather stupid, I can't get any of the tagnavi_custom.config files to work with my bleeding edge build.  I had used one of the earlier ones, around when this thread started, has something broken?
I end up with either the default menu, or no menu (if I run dos2unix on the tagnavi_custom.config).

Why don't you attach your tagnavi_custom.config and let us have a look?
