New tree view
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 5:10 am
I had a look at the new tree view and I really like, it's a great addition. Many people are used to this kind of view.
In particular I find it very useful to discover errors in tags. For example, filter by year and you will easily spot wrong years like 199 or 20011.
I haven't tested much yet but I already noticed a problem with the refresh of the tree. For instance I changed Artist to Album Artist in the default filter, but the change was not applied until I created a new filter, changed the filter and changed back to the default one.
Similarly, I corrected a year and it still appeared on the tree, but it didn't show any track in that branch.
Some suggestions:
.(An option to) show a small cover next to the albums (like in the album list, or as in Clementine).
.A filter that allows you to browse your library by directory: http://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent ... nt/idea/9/
This filter could be called Folder Structure and probably it should not be allowed to be mixed with other filters. The idea is that as branches of Library you have each of the paths of the library and when you expand them you get all of its subfolders.
.As I said I find this view very useful for tagging. I like the way it is done in MediaMonkey. There the tracks with an empty tags your are filtering by are clearly grouped in a branch called in bold that is showed as the first branch.
I would love to have filters like Has Embedded Cover, Has Lyrics, Has Comment, etc.
Great work!
