8. NEW: Details view uses file image instead of stock music note, picture, etc. when possible. (experimental -- feedback welcome)

Kind of distracting and too small to be useful.

Yes... but WHAT IF we could right click or hover on it and get a larger view?

You can hover over it, but it's very slow, even with a 3 Gig P4. Maybe if it was quicker...

So the new mini-thumbnails in details view are OK but really only a frill. I wouldn't mind them too much except that by replacing the previous icons, I now can't easily tell whether a file is imported or not - nor which file is currently being played (from looking at the list).

Just noticed something:

When ripping a CD, MC goes to the Internet to go get the album cover but does not add it to the last song being ripped. All the other songs get the album cover added to the file.

Don't know if this matters, but I rip in APE format.

1) Moving files can leave Over the weekend was moving some files by renaming in Media Center. I happened to move a file that was playing at the time. Now previously MC was pretty gracious about this in that if it could rename the file, it would and continue. However this time, it seems to have tried to move - updated the database but left the file there.

So I now have a file that is "missing" as far as the database, and the file on the disk where it was originally.

Just got MC 11 and noticed that after I had it playing for a few hours and minimized while I did some other work, that when I restored the view, all the names of all the songs had disappeared! The little album icons were there and all the other info - just no file names!!! And as and aside, those little icons are not very useful - way too small to see (yes, I even put on my multifocals

, and even changing the font size to 11 I still couldn't make out what they were...and they seem to slow things down. Another annoying thing - my zen isn't even seen and I can't find a plugin for it on the portables board either.

Gotta agree with some of the other guys. The new images are just too small which make them rather useless as of now.

However, as pointed out by some of the other guys, this is a great opportunity too add the lon awaited big single coverart with the detailed view next to it. I'm thinking *something* along the lines of this (of course just nicer:)

That would work if you had a few songs from the same album... But what if you had 1 or 2 songs from a bunch of albums being diplayed?

It seems that the zone-specific windows messages have stopped working. They all seem to control the current zone.

Still the bug in the preset "calendar" view scheme (already reported):

Importing my pictures I get date field automatically fulfilled as "26/09/2004 15:06" (as an example). In result, MC calculates day field = 26, month field = 9 and year field = 2004. That is ok.

I can display pictures selecting a year and/or a day in the calendar view scheme but I cannot select any month since in this case MC displays none picture.

I think it get confuse between numeric representation of month (1, 2,...) and alphanumeric representation of months (january, february,...).

update: did an uninstall, reboot, and reinstall and I managed to get my song names back. Also made sure that I had all my firewalls, and other prgrms off before doing the reinstall. It's been 14+ hrs now with a few other programs running in the background and all is well...except for the zen. Even following the instructions in the portables thread didn't get me a plug in for the zen. I either end up with nothing or the last version 10 plugin that doesn't work. Just as an aside - like the split view, but how can I toggle out of it easily (having to exit the program or go to the action window , choose burn cd,go to next, and then cancel is way too many things to do just to switch views....IMO. Am going to play with the document handling today. Regardless of how that works, I'll be sending in my $ as soon as I get that zen working. Thanks guys.

bebop,

You should not install any plugins with MC 11 for Zen. Please post what is the exact name for your model of Zen as it appears in the MC tree and I will make modifications so that the plugin installs automatically.

FYI I also had this happen to me.

Steve, will continue this in the portables thread so there's no confusion. Bet

I'm not sure how long this has been there.....

I can't open any 'document' type files, they import ok but they don't appear on the file associations so I can't tick them. When I try to open them, I get the following message - 'The media types of the selected files are not supported for playback. (Data)'

Bugs
- Import files is very slow and the summary not appear when finished. It also don't jump to Recent Imported Files.
- BackSpace in Search Box don't work.
- Rename files while playing the file don't work.
Tks!

Okay, I just finally installed the latest MC 11, and my previous version did not have the Library Browser feature, so maybe this has already been covered.

When clicking on the little down arrow by the "View: All Meda" menu, the context menu pops up at what seems to be a fixed offset to right of the "Files" tab.

TimB · « **Reply #68 on:** October 05, 2004, 01:43:51 pm »

Rename Files from Properties is sometimes leaving files behind in old directories instead of moving them. The "Filename" in MC11's display is updated but the file isn't there.

Same here...

I have been moving a lot of files around.
Just did a find duplicates on "filename" had over 9000 so i don't think it has anything to do with errors. i deleted them and imported again.
