What is the view-type called, and why no option for it? (1 Viewer)

[Spragleknas]

You know - view as:

• - [small thumbs] - [large thumbs] - [-UNKNOWN-] - [slideshow-like]
  
  About the unknown:
  It says large thumbs/pics, but differs form it by taking up one line - just like the "album-view" in music.
  
  There is no option for it in setup/config. I would like to use it when browsuing movies, pictures as well as music, so I hope someone can tell me how to do so, if its possible.
  
  Hope this makes sense... :sorry:

what do you mean with "it differs from it by taking up one line"?

Sorry... not a good exp.

Please see pic.


It's calle big-icons (or whatever), but it's muche more pleasant to look at (IMO). I don't think there is a way to make own view-type based on this... or?

Sorry to *BUMP* this, but if someone could tell me how to create a view with this function, I would be very greatfull.

Okay,

this view type is called "Albums". Don't know why it available to select.
I can make it available for the selection, but don't have time for testing at the moment, so i'll do it in a week or so.

For the time being a workaround.
First make súre that none of your views use "Big Icons".
Navigate to the view, you want to have the akbums view and change the line to "Big Icons". Save it and leave Config.
Open musicViews.xml in your MP dir with any text editor and search for the string "Big Icons". Replace it with "Albums" and save the file.
Then of course you can set back any of your other views to "Big Icons" again, if you had one.

As i said. This is just a quick workaround, before i find time changing it.

was only a one-liner to change.
It is in SVN now.
