I am trying to customize the thumbnail display text for a new album view I am building - but when I add [Disc #] into the mix - nothing gets displayed - even tho all relevant albums to the view have a value in Disc #.

Ideas?

Not working here either.

Works fine in a file list when using panes, but does not work in category views, not in the category itself, nor in the file list.

All my multi disc albums have the same name, so only one entry per album, but I would still expect to see [varies] for [disc #] under each multi disc album.

Using an expression category for Albums did work: if(isempty([disc #]),[album],[album] - Disc [disc #])

Also, just to clarify, when I add [disc #] in, everything else is still displayed, just the [disc #] info itself is not shown.

-marko.

I wonder if this is a conversion issue internally.  In categories views, [Track #] is converted into the count of tracks / category.  Perhaps there is no similar count of disc # conversion ?

This exactly what I was doing. Just placing [Disc #] in the text display on a line with the other items. It does not show anything.

Possibly. If you make a custom library field using: if(isempty([disc #]),,Disc [disc #])
it works just fine as thumbnail text, presumably because the data is worked out outside of the category. If you switch the category to a details view and add a [disc #] column, it is all empty.
