Globals Configuration
- Use global variables for display
Global variables are available in column display and colour strings. - Use global variables when sorting by column
Global variables are available when sorting by column. Note: if your global string is slow to process, this will severely slow down sorting. Optimise your global string for best results. - Use old style global string
Instead of using the new style where variables are set as extra items/special fields, the global string is just combined with whatever string is being processed. As a result, it is slow as it has to be processed for each column for each track, rather than once per track with the new format. - Square in corner
The global variable separator character, for you to copy and paste - Map colour codes
Coverts characters code 3 to characters code 10 before formatting the global string; and converts them back afterwards. This half-worksaround the colour-code separators do not work in global string behaviour, but not completely as titleformatting functions taking colour codes will not work. - Make date info available
Makes %_system_year%, %_system_day%, %_system_month%, %_system_day_of_week%, %_system_hour% available in global variables string. - Tab: Variables
Enter your global variables string here. For new format: Use character in corner of page for separator, multiple adjacent separators are treated as one. $char(3)s will not work because foobar don't like them. - Tab: Colour
Enter yor global colour string here, in the same format as the column's colour string. If a column does not use a custom colour string this one is used.
Note: When entering new variables, the entire contents of the variables textbox is parsed by foobar2000 as a single string, then split at the $char(3)s. This means that you cannot reference the variable in later variables, but you can store information using $put and $puts.
