hi,

I use artwork view to show album covers and artist pics while browsing my library with filter panels.
Is there any possibility to show album art only if ONE single album is selected? Or maybe to show another picture if multiple albums are selected
thanks!

Don't really know what you mean here...
Assuming you want to display one album in the library playlist,
go to es_playlist preferences, double click the grouping preset setting
you are using and uncheck "display only focused group".

Please ask less and fiddle more yourself, because every perfectionist
wants to accomplish things by himself. 
It would also be nice if you could post your questions in the thread
your question is about...i.e. es_playlist thread or open a new one just for your question.

Question:

In Filters, using $swapprefix() changes both the display and the sort of a tag.

Is it possible to change the sort, but not the display?

For example, "The Cure" would be sorted as "Cure, The", but still displayed as "The Cure"

Columns UI

No. As I mentioned in that thread, you can use a "hidden" sorter at the beginning of the filter entry.

Correcting myself, the hidden sorter won't sort correctly unless you include sufficient letters, since it'll sort by "Cthe" instead of "Cure".

I think he just has it set up so stuff is sorted by swapprefix(artist) when they are sent to a playlist. You can see in his screenshot "The Prodigy" are still under T in the actual filter. I'm guessing he has "P" selected in the leftmost filter, you can see that The Pogues come after Pure Reason Revolution.

Hi there.
I'm trying to make some customizations in my playlist and want to use all potential of the Style and Globals tabs, but I cannot find any help. I mean: there's a default script with a lot of variables that I cannot find any reference of. What %_back% actually is? Please, is there any documentation listing this strings?

musicmusic,

playback doesn't start if I double-click NG playlist's group title. This is default behavior in Default UI and it's quit useful IMO. Could you please fix that?

I need to add "album length" in NG playlist group script, how can i do it?

Columns UI

Reply #5992 –
that's not possible using NGPlaylist. well not unless you created your own custom tags in your files and added the album length manually.

Columns UI

I hope this is the right thread for my question.

I'm currently using the default grouping for NG Playlist which is:
Code: [Select]
$if2(%artist%,<no artist>)[ / %album%]

The downside is that compilations (or rather the songs which belong to them) are not grouped as one album but under the artist of the song. I searched the forum and found that a simple %album% instead of the above code does the trick. My question now is if I can have both the display of artist and album (e.g. Queen / Greatest Hits) at the dividing line and the grouping of compilations? So that the artist is shown but somehow ignored for the sorting.

btw: Great component.

Maybe musicmusic should distribute columns with %album artist% instead %artist% in playlist grouping script. As this question is raised too many times.
Similar to status pane issue - users can't find menu toggle option

Hmm, no worky for me. Replaced %artist% with %album artist% but that didn't change anything, unfortunately...

Columns UI

Reply #5996 –
Well if you don't have %album artist% tag it will behave just as %artist% tag

Columns UI

Reply #5997 –
Ah, Ok.
I just found %directoryname% and it works perfectly. Fortunately, I named my music folders by the pattern "artist - album".

Edit: Another question: Why is for example Queen - Greatest Hits sorted below Greatest Hits II and III in NG Playlist although it should be above them and how can I change that behaviour?

Columns UI

It depends which media library viewer is sending the files
Filters have their own setting, and album list panel can sort by the setting in "preferences > shell integration" with 'apply core sort' option in it's own preferences

Columns UI

Reply #5999 –
I'm not sure, if I understand you. 
The option under "preferences > shell integration" only sorts new files that are not already in the database, if I understand it correctly. The same applies to the option under "Columns UI > Filter".
Thanks for your help anyway.
