Title: Panes + Album Thumbnails + Album Details - how?
Post by: johnnyboy on October 21, 2009, 08:51:24 am: Hiya,
I want to create a view with the panes at the top, then underneath that I want all my Albums to show as thumbnails and I want to be able to click on any album and see the list of the files that it includes in a details view.

So far I can do Panes + Albums, Panes + Details or Albums + Details but I cant work out how to do the combination.

Is it possible?
Thanks

I think it has been asked before a few times...hopefully one day they will add support for this kind of view...please... ;)

Media Center 13.0.9

1. Changed: Reverted library viewing system to be suspiciously similar to Media Center 12.

Hmm...

I liked the following view configurations in 13.0.8:

Disk Location in the tree + Album Thumbnails + file list. (Playing Now is in a separate split.)

Panes On Left + Album Thumbnails + file list. (Playing Now is in a separate split.)

I have still missed these views. They would be very useful for me.
