Customizing pop up window
« on: February 15, 2022, 04:08:49 am »

Is there a way to customize what's shown in the pop up window that appears when you hover over a song? I would like to get the "composer" tag field to show in it.

I am close to positive there is not a way to customize that info.  I don't see anything in settings that would affect that.

Ha!  Thus why I included a qualifier in my reply of "... close to positive..."   I knew tooltips were updated for when and where they are displayed, but I missed that the info it contains is also now customizable - nice!

The movie one I linked to is pretty complicated.  All you need to do is create a couple of new fields under Tools - Options - Library & Folders - Manage Library Fields

1) Create a new field called Tooltip and under Calculated Field put [Tooltip - Audio]

2) Create a new field called Tooltip - Audio

3) For the calculated field for Tooltip - Audio just list the fields you want displayed. If you look at the current Audio tooltip you will see it is just a bunch of standard fields. Just add [Composer] to the group of fields you want and you should be all set.

Example for the calculated field.

[Composer] [Album] [Name] [Date]
[Sample Rate] [Bit Depth] [Channels]

If you want a different tip for classical and non-classical just use an IF statement to, for example, use [Composer] for classical and [Artist] for non-classical.  Once you have that working, go crazy and add sorts of bells and whistles, like the Movie one has.
