Title: Will we ever see more Library Cover Art Fields?
Post by: jondavis on January 18, 2020, 03:20:44 pm

Basically we only have 4 groups to work with.
Artist, Album, Series, & Season
And you know how much those are used.

Why not at least one field we can play with.
maybe called More
It would be even nicer if we could do something like this [Genre] = [More].
I don't know but some work around would be nice. :)

Don't forget Composer.

It's worth noting that Composer and Artist are list fields where the others are not.

Something that would add a lot of flexibility is if the images worked in views where you use an expression to group by and an expression to display. So if the expression to group by was Artist the artist images would show up regardless of what expression was used to display.

If the above worked, JRiver could add some generic list type fields like Grouping1, Grouping2, etc. that users could wield into whatever they need.

I didn't know about Composer?
Do you make a Folder called Composer or just put the picture in the Artist folder?

Hopefully we will get something someday.
I know it's been talked about from pretty early on.

It's new in 26. Make a folder called Composer that sits beside the Artist folder.
I made a post about how I'm using it:

Thanks, this should be very helpful.
Even though I might not be using it as a Composer field.
Will see what happens.
