Why, when I am viewing a specific artist via a tree, I cannot use panes?
Refer to the attachment. As you can see, the "Customize view" field is greyed. I would like to add panes to the right so I can easily browse the files in each individual album, which works when I am viewing the Artists view as a whole, but not when I click on a specific artist.
Also, regarding the "Group by" options...is there a way to customise these? Grouping by album sorts the albums by date. I would like to be able to group by album and sort by a custom library field. For example, there are albums that are re-released, and I use the ordinary date field to input these re-release dates, and then I use the FormatDate expression in organising these when using the "Rename, Move, & Copy files..." dialogue--"[Album Artist (auto)]\FormatDate(([Year]-MM-[Day])) [Album]". I have defined a custom field, "Original Date," however, that I would like to use to sort albums within the player via the "Group by... Albums" function. How is this done?
