I seem to recall that you could "Customize Current View", and edit the thumbnail text to show more than one line of text, eg:

[Album]
[Album Artist]

then the thumbnail views would show both lines.

Doesn't seem to work now. Regardless of what's in the thumbnail text field, if I am showing album thumbnails, I only get the album name.

You should be able to adjust whats in the text by adding or deleting different [] commands. i.e. [Artist], [Name], [Album], etc.

Yep, I know, and it used to work.

Doesn't with build 11.1.99. The Thumbnail Text field contains [Name] and yet when view is set to Album Thumbnails, it shows the Album Name. Changing the Thumbnail Text field has no effect at all on the displayed view.

Thumbnail text can only be edited for standard thumbnail style lists.  Album thumbnails are not editable.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Look at this: http://villamil.org/mc11thumb.jpg (which is panes, album thumbnails)

and this: http://villamil.org/mc11thumb2.jpg (which is panes, regular thumbnails)

It seemed to work fine as recently as build 11.1.92, IIRC.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm after. Doesn't seem to work.

I wonder....

looking at your screenshot, you have [album artist] as your second line... have you actually populated the [album artist] field for all your albums?

if not, what happens if you change that to [album artist (auto)] ?

[tcman41]

ya, i think your two fields you have listed return the same thing, lol

here is what i am running, the year is probably overkill but i like it:

[Album Artist (auto)]- [Date (year)]
[Album]

[album] and [album artist] are two very different things indeed, lol

(unless your library is full of self-titled albums, of course )

Yep, that did the trick!
