Option to view subfolder contents in "Drives & Devices" view
« on: September 12, 2007, 02:30:55 pm »

Currently, I can view a list of the files & tags for a selected folder in the "Drives & Devices" view.  Is there a setting to view subfolder's contents as well? I often find that I need to just make quick changes to tags/filenames for files that I don't want to import into the library.  Usually the files are organized into folders and subfolders.  If there isn't a setting to allow this, could there be one? Maybe a right click option to "Show Subfolders Contents"?

Thanks!

while in a folder in drives and devices, have a look at the bottom of the screen and you should see the text "Single Folder". Try clicking on that text for more options ;) :)

Wow, you learn something new every day. It took me a while to figure out what those other 3 options were for but I got it. The problem I have is that the down arrow for that selection is way at the right side of the screen. Can it be placed next to "Single Folder" so people know there's a menu there?

The "recursive" view is one of the coolest features of MC. Especially when combined with the "Rename Files from Properties" feature.

Thanks, Marko, for pointing that out.

Media Center rocks!

I always wished there was a way to do this...

Doubt I ever would have noticed it down there.  Took me a bit to find it even after you pointed it out.

Thanks!
