Title: Library summary?
Post by: texaganian on November 21, 2007, 10:54:21 pm

Every now and then I run across a function in MediaCenter which displays a dialog box with summary statistics about the current library (number of files, number of albums, etc).

But when I go to look for it later I never seem to be able to find it.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? If so, can you tell me where to find it?

You get total time and total size next to the thumbnail in the Tag Window.

Maybe the dialog I've seen before doesn't exist anymore.

the action window in v11.1.201 should look like so, with file properties being at the top:

Note that v12.0.xxx does not contain this feature, I thought that, from some of your recent posts, that you were using v12? or are you running both versions?

I'm currently running 11.1.201 but the feature I've run across before put a stand-alone dialog box on the screen rather than showing the stats in the action window bar (and I seem to recall it showing more stats).

But if its completely gone in 12 I certainly won't worry about finding it. I'm hoping to migrate to 12 in the next couple of weeks (very cautiously because of the large and elaborate music library I have).
