Title: How to get a library selection event?
Post by: codingduo on September 29, 2020, 09:41:13 PM

Hi there,

we're developing a plugin which creates a panel with moods which allows the user to select the moods he wants to add to his files by simply clicking a checkbox (see screenshot below).

We can update the panel by playing a file (double clicking in the library panel). Now we want to listen to a single selection event on the same panel.

To be more concrete:

The user selects a file in the library panel and we want our moodtagger panel to update.

Do you have any solution for this?

Thank you in advance!

Seems an obvious thing to have but its not supported. I will add an event to the next v3.4 beta

If you add the following void function to the Plugin class, MB will detect it and call it whenever the selected file changes

Code

public void OnSelectedFilesChanged(string[] filenames) {
}

unzip and replace the existing musicbee application files

Thank you very much Steven! We'll try it.

Everything works as expected except for the deselection (e.g. CTRL+Mouseclick) of list entries in the library. We appreciate if you can add this as well. Thank you in advance.

I am not able to reproduce any issues with de-selection and see no reason for it not to work.
If you are sure it is not working, then can you provide a set of steps with a screenshot as well

Hi. So we implemented the OnSelectedFilesChanged method and added a breakpoint. And in debug mode, we did not get a break at this point when we deselect one of the entries on the library panel. We recorded a short GIF for you. Hopefully it makes things clearer to you.

I still cant reproduce this. Can you send a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings)
