comments in preview [#17093]

Post by astro46 »

How can i add 'comments' field to preview pane. I don't see it listed in the choices for preview>layout>advanced.

also, in the same 'advanced' window, at the bottom are up and down arrows. seems like they don't do anything.

The up/down arrows moves selected field up or down. You just need to select a field to make them enabled.

It's planned for a future release. You can see the details at https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17093

Is the comments field addition moving up the todo list. Seems that if every 'custom field' is available in layout, "Comments" should be available also.

0017093: Comment tag not available for display in the Preview window

Post by astro46 »

i know that is listed as a bug at https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17093 with target version 5.1.
I originally wrote about this 1.5 years ago.
Becoming clear that version 5.1 can be a long, long, way off.

It is considered a 'tweak'. Shouldn't have been missing to begin with.

How about moving it up in the fix order?

Still no "comments" in layout?

Post by astro46 »

I just installed the latest version. Seems that 'comment' is still not available when viewing 'playing' or 'selected' tracks. It is there for data in properties, but we aren't allowed to view the comments otherwise?

You can "view" it ... ie. you can add the comment view to displays in the main panel.
But as you say you can include in the Preview Panels ("Selected" and "Playing"") ... which seems weird and disappointing.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

yeah, I know about the tracking ticket. For version 5.1? This isn't about fixing a bug. It is something that ought to have been there from the beginning. Why were 'all fields' not included at the beginning?

strange.
