nestable fields: wow! + tips
rjm:
I remembered reading about a new ListCombine function. Just had a look at it but it does not do what we want. Looks like we need a new SuperDuperListCombine function.
datdude:
Now that I have this setup, if I then click on my newly created artist/album pane, and I select an item, then start typing in it hoping it will scroll the appropriate item in the pane, it instead crashes MC.
rjm:
Never tried that until now. Can't make it crash on my system and it works as expected. (I'm running 404)
eba:
I didn't really like the feature when it was first introduced, as I generally hate having anything in a tree, and prefer multiple panes. However, I have finally conceded that it does make my videos view scheme a lot neater.
The only problem is in rename files from properties. I have a big long expression that renames all of my files, whether they be audio, video or image, in a nice way. Potentially, nestable fields could make the video section a fair bit simpler, but it seems to put underscores in place of nestings rather than new folders.
My old setup would rename to, for example:
TV Series\Dr Who\Series 1\06 - Dalek.avi
Music Video\Pink Floyd\Pulse - Disc 1\VIDEO_TS\...
Shorts\Antiboredom Campaign.wmv
i.e. different numbers of folders for different folder types, which did demand a complicated expression, but now I should just be able to use my new Videos field, except I get:
TV Series_Dr Who_Series 1\06.Dalek.avi
etc.
Is it possible to change this?

It would be good to be able to treat the "\" as a directory slash...
It would also be good to be able to pull the value from a single level of the "tree"... eg [Keywords!2] could pull "Dr Who" from your example above...
Thoughts?
