It would be nice if you could use html like, style tags in the thumbnail text..

I have an album view that is sorted by the reverse date imported...

My Thumbnail text is

[Album Artist]
[Album] - ([Year])
Style - [Style]
Publisher - [Publisher]
Date Imported - [Date Imported]

I could then do this

[b][u][Album Artist][/b][/u]
[Album] - ([Year])
Style - [b][Style][/b]
Publisher - [b][Publisher][/b]
Date Imported -[b][Date Imported][/b]


Doing this would allow the information that is most important to me, jump out at me not requiring a second glance..

Thanks

In 17.0.28 and newer (in a code block so the forum doesn't change the text):

Code: [Select]

NEW: Thumbnail text supports basic HTML text formatting tags like <b>bold</b>, <u>underline</u>, <i>italic</i>, and <font color="FF0000">red</font> (remember that slash requires escapement in the expression editor so use <//b>, <//i>, etc.).

[makersjam]

That is great ! 

[rjm]

Superb!

Can we please also:

1) allow HTML text in all text fields (like Description, Notes, Comment).

2) Enable info popups for all media types, not just Podcasts, Movies, and others?

Great!

I have been playing around lately with Theatre View. Could this be extended to the Advanced=>File Caption option in Theatre View? And extended with the ability to have line breaks in the File Caption. (Sorry in advance if this functionality is somehow already available; I am new to the Theatre View.)

Thank you Matt, can't wait to play around with this feature..

Changing the thumbnail text for a lot of thumbnail views involves a lot of copy and paste. Any chance of having presets for the thumbnail text? Or allowing line breaks (
) in fields so a field can serve as a preset for thumbnail text? (The latter suggestion would also take care of my request above regarding the file caption.)

Matt

Will this extend to the display? Currently I have

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] ¬ [Bitrate (labeled)]   [PN Position] of [PN Tracks]  [Zone] if(isempty([Genre],,), ¬NO GENRE SET!, - [Genre]) if(isempty([Style],,), ¬NO STYLE SET!, ¬ [Style]) if(isempty([BPM],,),,¬ BPM:[BPM]) if(isempty([Remixer],,),, ¬ Remixer: [Remixer])  if(isempty([Supporting Artist],,),, ¬ Supp: [Supporting Artist]) 

If is extends, I could do

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] ¬ [Bitrate (labeled)]   [PN Position] of [PN Tracks]  [Zone] if(isempty([Genre],,), ¬[B][U]NO GENRE SET![/B][/U], - [B][Genre][/B]) if(isempty([Style],,), ¬[B][U]NO STYLE SET![/B][/U], ¬ [B][Style][/B]) if(isempty([BPM],,),,¬ BPM:[BPM]) if(isempty([Remixer],,),, ¬ Remixer: [B][Remixer][/B])  if(isempty([Supporting Artist],,),, ¬ Supp: [B][Supporting Artist])[/B]

Thanks Matt

Sorry for reviving this but I have to say thanks again this is great..

Now that I can do this coupled with the Album Ratings I have done this  .

I made a custom expression field called [#Font.Album]

if(isequal([a.rating],5,2),<font color="FF0000">>[Album]<//b><//font>,if(isequal([a.rating],4,2),4.5,if(isequal([a.rating],3,2),4,<font color="FF9900">>[Album]<//b><//font>if(isequal([a.rating],2,2),<font color="99FF66">>[Album]<//b><//font>,if(isequal([a.rating],1,2),<font color="33CCFF">>[Album]<//b><//font>,)))))

And my thumbnail text as of now is

[#Grouping-1] - [Disc Type]
[#Font.album] - [Year]
Style - [Style]
Publisher - [Publisher]
Date Imported - [Date Imported]

So the colour of the Album changes depending on what rating it has   this makes me happy..

Thanks

oops my code isn't working as good as i thought need to iron out some creases

[locust]

Thanks for implementing this again, I'm having so much fun with it

This is what I've managed to do so far..



In the image from left to right the albums have a rating of 1-5

1=Purple
2=Blue
3=Green
4=Dark Orange
5=Red

If no rating is set the album stays black..

I also have a Flag Artist field with the value of Favourite Artist..

If an artist is my favourite, it now turns pink..

I think it will look much better with a darker theme..

Works great. Thanks.

Any chance these options can be extended to the Playing Mode display at the top of the screen?
