Source of "Comment" info in Album view [#21098]

Post by gamb2009 »

While in Album view screen, what is supposed to be the source of the information to be displayed in Info Panel comment area? I thought it was the same as the contents of the field "Comment" in the Properties of a track, but it is not. In the screen capture you will see that the info in "comment" field is displayed in the Preview & Lyrics Panel but it does not show in the Info Panel above. However, there is an "Edit comment" option in the Info Panel menu but you cannot edit nothing there without causing a crash.

It's a lookup from Wikipedia and is a database only field. Comment in Properties is Track based, not Album based.

IIRC your advice re the data being a lookup from Wikipedia is only part of the picture.

While the data is originally extracted from Wikipedia, if that data is updated using MM5 the amended value is saved in the MM db and will be displayed next time, ie from that point on the Wikipedia info for that album will be ignored.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
