Title: Bios & Lyric View Request
Post by: iCamp on May 23, 2003, 08:57:24 am

The "Properties" pane (alt+enter) currently has the following views:

File Info
Playlists
Format
Image
Statistics

I would like to propose the addition of two more views:

Lyrics
Bios

The current "File Info" view does show both the Bios and the Lyrics tag fields but it's not very convenient.  In order to view song lyrics, for example, you need to open the File Info view, click once on the lyrics field, then click on the Edit button that appears.  Only then does a separate box appear with the lyrics.  

Adding a Lyrics & Bios view to the Properties would allow much easier access to both.  Any chance such a feature could be implemented??

Thanks!

You can make BIOS part of the general properties by going into "Tools", "Options", "Tree & View Settings", then highlight "BIOS" and click the "Edit" button.  When the dialog box pops up, look for the "Category" dropdown box and change it from "Extended" to "General".  This will not work for "Lyrics", however, because the "Category" dropdown box is disabled. Hope this helps...

Wobbly, I think u've misunderstood him.

He wants to be able to see all the contents of the lyrics field in thet side pane I think. To make it easier and faster to see.

I agree,
esp. the Lyrics one with King's Chart Finder - I now have lyrics for tons of my songs.

a plugin can be made to show both

basicly you could do somthing like

richtextbox.text = Lyrics & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & Bios


etc...
