Question.. kinda related...
Is there any way to create a custom grouping? For instance I would like to group by Album, Disc #
That way my group pane and album thumbnail pane would show the discs separate of one another, even though the album has the same name across all discs.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance!
You can achieve custom grouping by adding custom library fields.
So, for your example, you would go to "Tools > Options > Library and folders" and click on "Manage Library Fields"
Click on the "Add new field" button and you will be asked for a field name. I have created a few of these fields that I use specifically for custom grouping and have named mine all beginning with "vs-grp_". This keeps them all together in the list, and serves to remind me what the field is used for much later on when I've forgotten!!
Once you've picked a name, you will be presented with field editor dialogue.
You can leave everything here at default.
Select "Calculated data" and enter
[album] - [disc #] into the expression field.
Click the OK button.
Click the OK button again.
Go to the view you wish to be grouped by [album] - [disc #] and choose your new field from the grouping options for that view.
