This section contains settings realtating to the global variables feature of the playlist.
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.

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. See the global variables page for information on its format.
Tab: Colour
Enter your 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.
