Script should be installed as package, using the package manager at the Spider Monkey Panel Configuration window. Old method is still supported anyway.
Delete '[foobar_profile]\js_data\presets\global\globQuery.json' and '[foobar_profile]\foobar2000\js_data\presets\global\globTags.json' files before installation.
There may be a SMP's bug on installation. See wiki.
REQUIRES SMP 1.6.1 (mod version attached has some improvements by marc23)
[0.5.0-beta.21] - 2023-06-27
Added
- Tags: new auto-tags named 'bPinnedFirst' and 'bPinnedLast' which force showing the tagged playlists at top/bottom of the list, for any sorting/filtering combination.
- UI: script will be completely disabled after installing for the first time until user clicks on the setup button (which will initiate a serie of popups). This is a workaround for a SMP bug during the installation process.
- UI: added manual sorting. It must be enabled on the sorting button and works independently to the automatic sorting methods. Playlist can be reordered by drag n' dropping within the panel or using the sorting submenu. It also works with multiple selection. Pinned playlists are ignored in this mode. Sorting indexes are stored at '.\js_data'.
- UI: configurable columns to display playlist metadata. Width, metadata, font size, order, num of columns, borders and colors can be set. In the case of playlist's size, a configurable unit may be set. The entire feature may be disabled using the configurable UI elements submenu.
- UI: added sorting by creation date.
- UI: added sorting by duration.
- UI: added configurable R. click mouse actions (like the previous L. click and Middle click ones).
- UI: added configurable timer for double clicking.
- UI: added configurable timer for tooltip (on properties panel). By default is now 2 times the double clicking timer, also if changed, a popup will ask to update its value.
- UI: settings header button is now animated when library tracking has been disabled and path cache needs to be rebuilt.
- UI: folder header button is now animated when tracked playlists folder contains new changes. In case auto-loading has been disabled, it can be used as a warning to know when manual refresh is needed.
- UI: filter header button is now highlighted whenever a filter is active, It follows the 'Also reset search filter' setting, thus not being highlighted while using the search filter if it's disabled.
- UI: added new menu entry to create a playlist from current selection (which does the same than drag n' drop + ALT).
- Drag and Drop: added tooltip on drag n drop giving hints about the action used: sending to new playlist, to selected playlist, to search box, ...

- Keyboard shortcuts: pressing F6 will export the highlighted playlist to ListenBrainz (+ Spotify if configured to do so).
- Keyboard shortcuts: pressing F7 will create a new empty playlist.
- Keyboard shortcuts: pressing F8 will cycle current view by category.
- Keyboard shortcuts: pressing F9 will filter the manager showing playlists with the selected tracks (if the search box and path searching are enabled) or show a popup with the results (otherwise).

- ListenBrainz: playlists can now be exported to Spotify (when exporting to ListenBrainz). Requires Spotify's service to be connected to the user profile, and 'Play music on ListenBrainz' enabled.
- Clone: added 'Clone as Smart Playlist' entry for AutoPlaylists and Smart Playlists. This allows to easily switch between formats or clone existing XSP playlists.
- Exporting Playlists: added a 'Copy playlist files to...' entry to the multiple playlist selection contextual menu.
- Exporting Playlists: added a 'Export and Copy Tracks to...' entry to the multiple playlist selection contextual menu.
