[QUOTE="Norsak, post: 937940, member: 96334"] I'm a little confused by the UI of the [B]Views[/B] tab of Myfilms setup. But I've looked at it for a few hours and I think it doesn't do what I want it to / what I believe it ought to do. [U]Issue 1: Setting a different Layout for the members of a Group does not appear to work[/U] [IMG]http://s11.postimage.org/ded3253f7/group_layout.jpg[/IMG] Changing this field does not change any lines in MyFilms.xml, it also does not result in any layout changes when browsing members of a Box Set (Group) There is a line in MyFilms.xml that reads like it addresses this point [CODE]<entry name="LayOutInHierarchies">3</entry> [/CODE] But changing that manually to 5 does not achieve anything either, and the edit is overwritten when MP is closed. [U]Issue 2: Controlling The layout of Indexed views seems to do everything except what I want it to[/U] Some Views have an Index which shows after you click on them, for example: [INDENT=1]Years -> Index of Years-> Subset of Films matching year[/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Recently added -> Index of time frames -> subset of Films matching timeframe[/INDENT] The UI allows me to control the layout for these Indexes. For example: [B]Recently Added[/B] is my second Menu item, and I can change the Layout of it's Index to CoverFlow [IMG]http://s17.postimage.org/eboikte0f/recent_index_view.jpg[/IMG] This changes a line in MyFilms.xml to [CODE]<entry name="AntViewLayoutView2">5</entry>[/CODE] and results in the requested UI change when running MP. Sofar so good, I would never want to do this, but it's good to have options. But why can I not do this for the [B]Box Sets[/B] view? Box Sets follow a similar logic, where the names of the box sets server as a type of index [INDENT=1]Box Sets -> 'Index' of all Boxset names -> Subset of Films matching individual Box Set[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] For Box Sets the 'Index' View always Follows the setting of [CODE]<entry name="LayOut">3</entry>[/CODE] Even if I manually set [CODE]<entry name="AntViewLayoutView3">5</entry>[/CODE] nothing happens. So hence my issue: Changing the Layout of an index like [B]Recently Added[/B] to CoverFlow looks really bad, but is supported [IMG]http://s9.postimage.org/xbp2lzi0f/dumb.jpg[/IMG] But Changing the Layout of the 'index' for [B]Box Sets[/B] to CoverFlow is not supported [IMG]http://s10.postimage.org/wsc12tfpl/good.jpg[/IMG] If there is a better way to achieve what I'm looking for, please advise [/QUOTE]
