Separate column selection and order for the different views

Post by rk »

Problem:
The column arrangement of the song list is the same in every view of the archive.

Solution:
It would be very nice if every view (title, genre, album, ...) could have its own column selection, column order and sort order that can be changed and that is rememberd for this view. The subnodes of the top nodes then behave the same way.

This would e.g. make it possible to have album first in the album view and genre first in the genre view. Or to have the song number column in the album view, but not in the artist view.

The same thing within the single playlists would be cool (and consequent), too! :D

WMP10 does that and I find it's a royal PITA - i.e. I turn the 'custom 1' column on in the album view, and then I have to do the same thing a dozen times to get to see it in all the other veiws too.

Maybe an item in heading pop-up menu (currently showing all available columns) that would apply the current setting to all views? Just thinking whether this feature could be implemented...

I also think this would be a great feature to have. Similar to Windows explorer where you can set the columns and sort order for each directory individually and optionally apply the current view to all other directories as well. Substitute "directory" for "node-type" in Mediamonkey.

MediaMonkey already can have a different sort for each main node (artist, album, etc.), but can't do it for the subnodes (artist a, artist b, etc). It also doesn't have a way to apply current sort to all views.
