It is the exact same issue. If the Track Browser is meant to show then the bug that the menu option fails is correct, but if the Track Browser isn't meant to show the bug is that the menu option is available. The developers have chosen that the bug was the menu option being available thus that the Track Browser isn't available isn't the bug. This means that what you entered isn't considered a bug.

PS. It was reported by itself as part of MM4 testing, I was merely confirming here that this issue has been resolved, even if it isn't to your liking.

The OP is the bug I am referring to and the bug filed in Mantis.

> the issue is that it isn't available in the Now Playing by design and that it wasn't properly disabled.

Different issue. In future report it yourself rather than interfere with mine, please.

OP is wrong, the issue is that it isn't available in the Now Playing by design and that it wasn't properly disabled. That has now been fixed.

This means OP's issue is now a feature request.

PS. Personally I have no issue with the Track Browser or Art Browser being available in the Now Playing, but I think it has been chosen that the Now Playing list should not show filtered, but instead should always show all files that are in the Now Playing, which I understand.

Wrong. Read the OP.

The bug was that the command was available when it shouldn't, this is now fixed as the command is no longer enabled in the Now Playing node.

Not according to Mantis, which reports instead that the command has been disabled i.e. WONTFIX.

If you read correctly it's a quot from Rusty, which shows that the Track Browser is unavailable in the Now Playing node by design. This is not my opinion, it's a quot. You asked for this proof and I provided it for you. Just get over it and post a wish in the wishlist forum that you'd like the Track Browser in the Now Playing node, I don't have an objection against that.

I'm pretty sure that the Album Browser refers to the Track Browser.
Are you seriously suggesting that Track Browser should not be available for My Computer either???

When you have some evidence of that, let's see it.

Sorry, that doesn't wash:

1) This is equally true of playlists, yet Show Album Art is allowed for them.
2) Now Playing display mode does not need to indicate a play order to be useful. e.g. Show Album Art is useful for showing a list of all albums in the list.

As discussed the bug is that the Show Track Browser is enabled in the View menu while in the Now Playing node. The fact that the Track Browser isn't shown is a design choice, which you can disagree with, but that doesn't make it a bug.

Sure, as I saw in the moderator logs.
