Boolean value for user library fields
RedJ:
Bump and big-time "me too!" Specifically looking for checkboxes (binary mostly, but multiple selection would be awesome).
I have drop downs for a number of different custom fields "Live", "Explicit", "Cover", "Defective" and it's too many clicks, too slow, and too awkward for a simple binary Is/Isn't selection.
ProblemChild:
BUMP to all of the above...
This would save a lot of headaches!
Alex B:
A yearly bump.
MC13 has a new option:
--- Quote ---14. NEW: Added edit type "Five stars" that can be selected for user created database fields.
--- End quote ---
It makes possible to create additional star rating fields, but it is limited to exactly five values that are 1,2,3,4 and 5. Without the limitation it would be what I have requested here.
Here's a related thread on the MC13 board: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=48761.0
RedJ:
I'm glad the 5-Star functionality has been added, it will at least allow me to cludge around my problem, assuming I have a list with 5 items or less and I want to memorize what each value signifies. However, I think the more universal solution still should be a multi-selector checklist dropdown of an arbitrary number of list items. This would allow users to create any system they like for quick tagging of custom attributes. It would also reduce selection of list items in a minimum of two quick clicks instead of 1) click field 2) chose items from field selector window that comes up 3) close field window (keep in mind that there are also significant interface inefficiencies that accompany this seemingly insignificant one extra click).
Here's an attempt at an ascii depiction of a dropdown custom field I would use:
_______________________| Explicit [V]|[ ] Language - Extreme ||[X] Language - Moderate ||[ ] Language - Mild ||[ ] Sex ||[X] Violence | ----------------------------
This would be used to filter for if there are children present or for certain situations/company where I may want to prevent tracks dropping the f-bomb and rapping about strippers from coming on all of a sudden.
j.stream:
Can anybody give me an example to create a "album rating" field ?
I want a five star rating per album, that means if i give one track of an album e.g. five stars
all tracks of this album were automaticly rated with five stars.
