Just discovered this great new browser and I'm impressed. Like others, I think it can easily be incorporated into the existing pane system by making the following changes:
1. Replace pane headers with the new tabs.
2. Have option to list detail under each tab by line (that is the same list starting with 'All' and ending with 'Unassigned'.
3. Result of browsing shown as either tile or file details.
4. Tabs used for browsing selection only. Need "buttons" for :
- Clear selection
- Tile/File (do away with files tab)
- Detail option as in 2 above.
5. Selecting tagging mode defaults to existing pane structure (best method for tagging).
6. To keep media library browsing consistent, the 1st tab/pane should be media type. The options could be shown visually with tiles for audio, images, videos etc (and statistics). The available tabs to the right change to reflect the media type selected.
As suggested elsewhere I agree
- the tree could be incorporated fully into this pane/tab system.
- thumbnails for artists would be great. Aso include in track info to display while playing. You could have images tied to genre, year and so on.
- that album tiles are needed to list track details.
Hope this makes sense (all thoughts composed while I sleep and dream of the possibilities).
