Hi @Lowlander, I thought that might be the case but wanted to get everything down just in case.
the absolute most important one for me is this one - has it been addressed anywhere?
you can't edit the tags (and format) that are shown per album in the album summary view - this is a HUGE disappointment. Not being able to show Publisher, Grouping, Genre, Custom tags etc is a massive regression. Peke hinted at multi-line summaries in
https://forum.mediamonkey.com/viewtopic.php?p=466576 and the result is actually worse! i think this regression alone will be enough for me to not pay for the upgrade to MM5.
I can't find threads for the following - should i make separate ones or OK to keep here as one?
- can't drag an album into now playing by the album art. so adding an album to the list takes substantially longer than before
- if you select the publisher collection, publisher isn't shown anywhere - your comment Publisher available as a column - there's no point in having it as an extra node then as it's the same as the album node - i have just seen the "show all subnodes" option!
- the preview element doesn't show empty/unknown tags/info therefore impossible to build a consistent layout, eg have text tags on one side and number info on the other. suggest people able to add specific tags to a specific column. eg i can add title, artist, album, genre, publisher to column 1 and date, track #, disc # to column 2.
- the rating node should hide ratings with no matches
- clicking column header "artwork" or "summary" in album list view doesn't sort by album name or album artist respectively
- artist - title in the now playing section of the window is very small and has no prominence. and can't be configured
new issues i've noticed:
- in the preview panel, if you click on an empty area below the tags, it opens the album art in a new window. this is very annoying because if you are editing tags, or you click one by mistake, this is a natural area to click to get off/out of that tag
- hitting [Escape] on the keyboard should close the album art window that pops up
Will leave out the upnp/dlna ones for now, the gapless thing in particular. It seems to be a very confused topic in general. For eg if I play from Bubbleupnp on my android to my hifi, it will play gapless, but from the yamaha app it doesn't; yamaha confirmed to me that their APP does not support gapless but the hifi/renderer does. which makes me confused with your comment about the client. it possibly has to do with silence/crossover settings on my side which i need to investigate further. same goes for track seek messing things up.
