With the latest MC25, you can customize the text you see on the status bar at the bottom of the program.

Right-click on it and select "Set Text Rule...".

The dialog that pops up shows the expression used for single file selections in the status bar.  It's fully customizable now.

A cute little addition we added was that you can use the variables [PNPosition] and [PNCount] to display the position and count of the files in Playing Now.  Here's a sample using that:

Code: [Select]

[Name] - [Album] - [Artist] (FixCase([File Type], 3) - [Size] - [File Size]) If(IsMissing(), /(file not found/),) [PNPosition] of [PNCount]
If you have any questions or requests about this, please post them here.  Thanks.

Where would those variables get documented in the Wiki?

If they aren't documented (a search doesn't find anything except the Release Notes), where should they be?

Are there other similar variables, or are these the first sort of JRiver defined global variables that we could use?

Dear Matt, I put your code in. It is working when no sound file is played.
Otherwise, I always get this message "Saving tag changes (1 remaining)".
Is it possible to edit or change this behavior?
Thanks in advance

How about the ability to put the Working Status where we want on the bottom Status Bar, using a function to call the information such as [WorkingStatus] or WorkingStatus(). The support HTML Left, Center, and Right alignment tags to put stuff where we want?

For example:

<p align="left">WorkingStatus()</p> <p align="center">[Name] - [Album] - [Artist] (FixCase([File Type], 3) - [Size] - [File Size]) If(IsMissing(), /(file not found/),) [PNPosition] of [PNCount]</p> <p align="right">© RoderickGI</p>

Thank you for adding this new feature.

I am encountering a minor issue related to Playing Now counts displayed to the right of the status bar.

When I initially launch MC26 then play the content of Playing Now, this is what I see:



File #1 is highlighted but not selected.  I would expect to see the file count to the lower right, but it does not show.

If I then click file #1 to select it, this is what appears:



Notice the selection color changes, but the file count still does not display.

When I hold down CTRL then click this same file to force a unselection, this is what happens:



Now the file count is showing.  Why would it not display when I initially launched MC26 and/or when playback initially started?

The behavior is different for other files selected other than file #1 as per below:



Below is my status bar definition:

Code: [Select]

Total Queued:  [PNCount]

Dear Roderick, thanks for your help. But your link is not working.

Oops. Sorry. That link was to a Beta discussion. I thought it was on the Public board.

We are just discussing what should be done with the bottom Status Bar. When it is all settled it should fix your issue, with both the "Saving tag changes (1 remaining)" messages and the text you specify being visible.
