1367: MM forgets sort column in Art with Details [#7691]

Post by A User »

I installed Build 1367.

Nice to see UI gets better and better - especially the menubar and the tabs do no longer flicker around. Would be nice, if resizing the window would work more fluently and the properties dialog would provide more space for the field captions, but this is not the point for my post.

I started MM4, selected a folder in the Library and switched to "Show Art with Detail". The first thing I realized was columns got mixed up compared to the previous build.

I am used to the following column order, which I set up in the past:

1. Album Art
2. "Artist/Album" (sort column)
3. TrackNr
4. Title
5. Interpret
6. Genre
7. Year
8. Filename
...

MM4 Built 1367 shows me the following order:

1. Title (sort column)
2. Album Art
3. "Artist/Album"
4. Interpret
5. Filename
6. TrackNr
7. Genre
8. Year
...

I find it strange MM4 mixes columns up from one built to another as I set a custom configuration. But o.k. it is in developement state.

The problem with it is, the sort column changed from "Artist/Album" to "Title". I find it useful to have all items sorted by the "Artist/Album" column in order to see the album art on the first column with all tracks of an album right next to it. So I selected "Artist/Album" column for sorting again and it seemed to work. But as I switched to another folder in the library, MM4 sorts by "Title" again. I tried it several times, but MM4 seems to forget the selected sort column in "Show Art with Details" mode. In "Show Details" mode a sort column is remembered correctly.

Same problem here. Not remembering sort order.

I see the same, it's using the Details view sort order instead of it's own. Added as: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7691

This has been fixed in 1368.
