Browse Pictures by folder name
« on: July 06, 2011, 06:26:13 pm »

I'm using MC16. How can I make MC to display my Pictures following the folder structure that I already have instead of grouping them by date?
Thanks.

One way is to use the built-in Explorer under Devices & Drives.

Another, is to create a new Images view that shows the path components.  You can either create an expandable tree in a pane, or create multiple panes, each that shows one deeper path component.

Create a new view under Images.  Add a column, and set the Type to Expression. 

For the tree in a pane, add the expression:

listbuild(1,\,[filename (path)])&datatype=
    For a series of panes, each with a deeper path component, use as many expression categories to parse the folder path components as you need.  Here's the first one:

    ListItem(
[Filename (path)],2,\)

This breaks the path into components, and leaves just the 3rd component.  Add more columns, increasing the 2 to a 3, etc. for deeper paths.

See the Wiki for Expression language: http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language

More refinement can be done, but start with this to see if this is what you're looking for.[/list]
