Title: Album thumbnails problem
Post by: MrVegas on October 26, 2003, 12:37:16 pm

When in playlist views/windows, I can't get album thumbnails to show up.  When I right-click to bring up "list style" the album thumbnails is greyed out.  I'm running v.289.

I don't think it's an option in playlists / smartlists - only in the Media Library. If its a playlist full of albums maybe you can put it in a view scheme instead.  If they are a random list (like favorite albums) you'll need to use a custom tag field to tag them first.  That's what I do.  I have the following album view schemes:

Single Artist
Various Artist
Favorite Albums
NOW! Albums
Rock Albums
New Albums

I think this is by design, since playlists have a sense of order.   Album thumbnails for a view scheme re-sort the list so that albums are grouped by Artist (or Album Artist (auto) - not sure what it is currently, since there have been debates about this) and then Album.
