Remove brackets around "name" (1 Viewer)

[Paranoid Delusion]

If you are in Music\shares viewing as Filmstrip you get Brackets around the artists name, and useing either xface or foofaraw i get the same thing, which actually makes it quite hard to read at a bit of a distance.

Is there away around this, or is is a MP\Db problem.

I was wondering about the same thing. Would be nice to get rid of these...

 

[Spragleknas]

I think we should mark this as "bug", PD.

Irritating as unable to read clearly, would be a more descriptive point spragleknas, remember something like this post may not get picked up for a few days, so no panic then.

Annoying that all the other areas display fine without brackets, so may be a core thing that needs to be altered, would be nice to have this confirmed though.

Any news on this?

Should be easy-peasy to fix? (IF it is a bug - and in my head it is).

Now is this a views problem, would be nice if someone else said this is how it is, or no this is wrong.

Could this be changed and if so how.

Thanks, just trying to save my eyesight.

This is not a bug, but an MP issue. Default view for folders are with brackets around the name.
This can however be changed in the skin with the property 'folderPrefix' and 'folderSuffix' for listcontrols. Setting the property to <folderPrefix></folderPrefix> removes the '[' from the foldername.
Se also http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/SkinArchitecture/listcontrol

So this 'problem' are actually a skin issue, but its easy to handle.

Why not put the edited xml\s forward as a mod for xface in that post, harley always appreciates any help.

Systemwide for the skinners would be good also.

New xface now has no brackets.

Happy

Yes, i'll think i do that. I will post it in Xface thread.
It has to be done for every listcontrol where no brackets are wanted.

There are also some positioning issues when using the submenus in BasicHome so i will just fix them too before I do that.

Btw, I just checked the new Xface and there where bracket in every place i looked.
