Where do you see them as numeric? In the content window?
It's the regular main pane (not sure what the proper name for it is) that takes up most of the screen when you have selected a view scheme or play/smartlist.
As an aside, my MC9x installation is pretty generic. At the moment I'm only using MC to manage my library of music and ebooks and to sync with my iPod.
Other than a large number of smartlists (20 or so), a few of them with custom column arrangements, there really shouldn't be much difference between my setup and a clean install of MC... unless there are some legacy default settings from one of the older versions I've used.
I just have no idea why it's happening. Looks like reinstall is the only answer.
Yeah, I'm coming to the same conclusion.
The reason I'm so hesitant to do a clean install, is because the last time I did (over 6 months ago), I lost
all of my smartlists. At the time, the only "Export" function I could find exported them as
playlists. It was a lot of trouble to re-create all of them, and that was 6 months of expanding/tweaking ago!
Is there a working method for backing up/restoring
smartlists? Or is this information also being stored in the "Data" directory you mentioned earlier?
