I didn't notice it in your Mantis change summaries, but I see that the current version of MM5 implements the Column Browser and also ShowArtWithDetails (aka Albums&Tracks in MM5).
Thank you for that. I don't think that I would have migrated to MM5 without these facilities, but now look forward to the goodies which MM5 is bringing.
Feedback:
Column Browser numeric column Sequence is not working: eg. add a column for BPM ..it is sorted 0, 1, 10, 2, 3
It continues one weirdness from MM4: setup two browser columns; genre & BPM ... initially each column contains all values, ie. all genres and all BPM's ... select a Genre, and the BPM is filtered to contain just the BPMs for that genre ... but this does not work in reverse, ie. select a BPM, and the genre values are not filtered .. add another column, ie AlbumArtist: select a BPM, and AlbumArtist is filtered, but not Genre .... reset all columns so that all are selected ... now select an albumartist ... neither genre or BPM are filtered.
Column Browser availablity: doesn't seem to be available everywhere. available from All Tracks, Albums, AlbumArtist .... But is not available from other places: eg. Artists, Composers, etc .... Personally I don't care, because I only will use it in the Album View, but it does make the UI more complex, by being less predictable
Album & Tracks view: it is great to see this return to MM. Are you going to re-implement a custom display limitation upon the number of rows per album? .. ie. given my screen configuration, a limitation of 7 tracks per album would make best use of vertical space ... ie. pack the most albums per page ... the use case for this is as follows: I often don't need to see *all* tracks ... I just need to *some* tracks per album, so that I may resort the display according to what I try to achieve, eg. data released, or date last played, or data added, etc ... there is no sort facility for this in Art view currently ... Album&Tracks is the next best thing, to the ArtView matrix, for an album-focused person, who identifies their music visually using album art .... it is immersive in one sense (ie. a decent sized thumb of the art) ... but is not in another sense (too much white space between each album ... too much scrolling)
example:

Album&Tracks scrolling: if I scroll too fast the album art can get truncated down into a little horizontal strip ... once this happens the tuncated view seems to be cached, because it does not go away.

Thanks again for the addition of these features. I great to be able to observe the steady progression of MM5.
