Title: MC GUi Question
Post by: rsg on August 12, 2016, 09:08:31 pm
JRiver: Modifying GUI
I have recently switched from iTunes to JRiver and I am very pleased with the latter. I am viewing all my music files on one of those wide screen monitors. I have all my albums as thumbnails with the tree down the left side. When I select an album to play, the tracks/titles etc. all appear at the bottom of the screen as that is the default. No matter how much research I do, I can't find a way to make the tracks/titles appear on the right of the screen, sort of on the opposite side to the tree etc. That would allow me to have the tree on the left, a large middle section with all the albums or artists, and the tracks/titles etc. as a column on the right. Seems like a good plan right? Especially since it is a wide screen monitor.

Anybody figured this out?

PS. Everything else working great in terms of sound, ease of use, appearance etc. Great player for using with a remote library. I keep all my files on an HDD with one central computer, and I can play all my music on computers in other rooms. Of course, a backup drive resides off site.

I can't say I've ever been inspired to work with the Tree on the right. Maybe because for those conditioned to Western style education, reading works from Left to Right.

For Oriental cultures, working Right to Left is not uncommon but given the development background of MC, I can understand why things are as they are.

I had a quick look at the Wiki and these sites came up in my search:
but they all draw a blank as far as I can see.

Well no, I want to keep the tree on the left, but list the albums and tracks pane on the right instead of along the bottom.

view > split view

Yes, that seems to be the right idea. Thanks very much!
