I'm sure others have some Theater View things they would like as well.....
Yep. I was going to wait but as you brought up the subject already, here's what I'd like:
Things I'd really like to see:
- Ability to define a sort order for each view scheme 'column' which would also be honoured in theatre view
- Ability to define view settings for each view scheme 'column' in theatre view [list / thumbnails / folder thumbnails (if appropriate)]
- Ability to turn off the "all" groupings
- Keyboard shortcuts for everything so that remote control users (using Girder) don't have to press loads of buttons to acheive things - for example going straight to Audio / Photos / TV or for playing / adding files etc.
The above three would enable me to navigate through my audio files in theatre view like this:
[Genre] displayed alphabetically in a list
[Artist] displayed alphabetically in a list
[Album] displayed chronologically as thumbnails
[Files] displayed in track number order as a list
without needing to press 'change view' at all. This would make Theatre View near perfect for me!
Other ideas that would be nice...
- Make folder thumbnails scroll through their contents when selected (like library browser)
- A 'tile' type view where album titles and artist (for example) could be displayed to the right of a thumbnail (currently having the text below each thumbnail doesn't give much space for the text)
- Animation (like when selecting something for example)
- Ability to give thumbnail pics to TV stations and also to link somehow to TV listings for each individual station somehow (within theatre view)
