Installing MC30 and Questions
ferrarabrainpan:
Compared with MC28, there are now missing some helpful menu options from the top bar, notably Library, Playlists, Add Playlist, Run Auto-Import Now, and Refresh.
Can I add those back?
JimH:
Right click at the top to customize.

right clicking in Windows 10 at top of MC30 as you suggested. I see I can customize the playback display as to file info (guess this means I have to manually copy over my playback display settings from previous version, huh?). But I see no way to add those other top menu items that I asked about.
I especially want to see Library dropdown menu and auto-import and refresh up top.
And what about zones, do I have to manually recreate all that?

MC28: In the ALBUMS library view for Audio and for Video the albums are displayed alphabetically discarding 'a' or 'the' when those articles appear at the beginning of the album title.
MC30: Audio albums appear correctly in alphabetical order discarding articles, but Video albums are alphabetical including 'a' and 'the'... how do I change this?
And all these things I am posting here (top menu options, zone copy over, video album order, etc)... should I be posting this info in the BUGs discussion?? Should I be posting separate topics for each?
At this point I am not enjoying have to check and compare all my special configurations in MC28 with MC30 to see if they carry over or if I have to manually create them again. Big time suck, you know?

I know Jim already suggested what I detail below, but it was to it different user. So if I missed in your posts that you have already tried this, my apologies in advance.
Have you tried running restore from within MC 30, but pointing to your last MC 28 backup? I ask, because I have guided many users into restoring from a prior versions backup, and not once has it failed to return everything back to what it was.
MC automatically does this when installing a new version, but when it occasionally fails to reconstitute everything exactly as before, without exception it happens when a major version is skipped (as in your case, going from 28 to 30). If you have not performed this process yet, I am highly confident that doing so will resolve the issue. Be sure to enable the checkbox for Restore Settings.
