Looking good. Stable. Acceptable response times.

1. Chose Columns / Sort
   
   The Sort control at the top of this dbox truncates the sort criteria.
   I have the panel set to be sorted by 5 criteria, but the Columns/Sort dbox only sees the top two.
   This is not just cosmetic, because that dbox is used to alter sort criteria
   .
2. Sort option "match within words" not working for Artists section of Browser view
   
   Here I have "match within words" selected.
   This does not work for the Artists panel in the Browser view
   .
3. Sort option "whole words only" not working in Artists or Album panels in Browser view
   
   Works ok in the Tracks list, but not in the Artists and Albums panels
   .
4. Not possible to view full sized art from List By Album or List views
   
   It should be available on the context menu at both of these places, especially from the album thumb in List By Album view.
   .
5. This should be radio buttons

   • This toggle control should be radio buttons.
     This part of the UI is more complex than most parts. There are 5 View Elements. Three of the are options, and the other two are a toggle.
     It would be more clear if the toggle was implemented as radio buttons.

5) To my knowledge there isn't an implementation of radio buttons inside popup menus. But it may be possible to give them a separator, to indicate that they're a group.

1. I just wanted to write that I cannot replicate, but you seem to be right that with default sort it does not show the default sort columns in "Choose columns / sort" dialog. Tracked as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17441

2&3: Tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17439

4. Ability to enlarge image from "List by (album)" view: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17440

5. Yes, these two view elements we made mutually exclusive, but they are not mutually exclusive with the others view elements (like Column filter, Status bar) -- so radio buttons could be misleading there. Anyhow, seems a really minor issue IMO.

see here

Ludek is of the view that it is a minor issue. ... I agree, but it is a also minor issue to fix, I presume.
List & Grid are a toggle, so they should be radio buttons for ease of learning|understanding.
I found it unnecessarily complex to get my head around those View Elements. And, so far, I have to relearn it each time I use that menu.
Maybe you can convince him?

Ah, my bad. But anyways, after looking at it, I don't think it should be changed. Radio buttons are not supposed to be un-checkable. Sometimes it's possible to click on a radio to deselect it on certain websites, but that's not standard. Radio buttons in MM aren't made to be un-checkable. In the interface, you are able to hide the list/grid element by un-checking it; so it should stay a checkbox.

agreed .. a radio button should never have a "null" value. just in terms of design

Good point. Thanks for looking at it.

Hi,

2&3) should be fixed in 2300 bug 17439
