I'd appreciate if there can be an optional delay for the ReFacets search functionality. Especially when there's just a few characters in the field, which currently trigger a search each time I'm in doubt while typing the query

-Add `FbMetadbHandleList` `SaveAs`. Saves using native `.fpl`
format so you should use that as the file extension. The
parent folder must already exist.
Finally can save into fpl playlists. Is it possible to load a fpl playlist as a handle list (skipping the UI)?

-Add `fb.ShowPictureViewer(image_path)`. This uses the image
viewer built in to `foobar2000`.
Will add that one to biography, which was the missing bit for art.

Thanks for both!

General Audio / Re: Can higher bitrates sometimes sound worse than lower ones

The sample Brand linked is interesting, though the claim that higher the bitrate the worse it sounds isn't entirely correct.
At certain bitrates Opus refrains from trying to encode the noise between ~12 kHz and ~15 kHz, but once bitrate increases above those thresholds it stupidly encodes parts of that frequency range. For example 128 kbps is worse than 150 kbps, and while 256 kbps sounds worse than 150 kbps, 320 kbps is once again better than 150 kbps.
It's not doing a worse job because bitrate increases, it just doesn't seem to understand what it's encoding and sprinkles the extra bits randomly leading to awful artifacting.

Do you have a source for this?
Don't understand the question. He's done his homework!

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Columns UI
Last post by musicmusic -
The dark mode rendering of menus is handled entirely by Windows (and so Columns UI has no control over it, I'm afraid). When it comes to old Win32 functionality, in general, Microsoft only bothered with adding dark mode support to things that they wanted to use. Given the rarity of multi-column menus, I'm not surprised that they do not support dark mode. I recall that another dark mode bug was also reported with menus, IIRC it was with the scroll buttons for a long menu.

Anyone using this with newest foobar v2.25+, please update to nightly version to not have problems. Anyone else may ignore it.

https://github.com/regorxxx/Wrapped-SMP (at bottom)

Newest foobar version is using different file protocols for portable installations + relative paths (library) which breaks some components and scripts (in particular this one).
