Title: Proper view scheme for images - how?
Post by: maxxsid on November 17, 2009, 01:57:24 am
Hello,
I finally imported my photos into MC library (MC14) and now trying to organize them in some useful way (I was using MC mostly for audio before).

One thing which I don't like - if I am to create a new album for images - MC gives a list of all existing albums which contains not only Image albums but Audio albums too - why? Is there a workaround?

Also, if I group by Month - the images get grouped in alphabetical order - April, December, February.. not Jan, Feb, March.. This doesn't look right to me either.

How do you guys show/organize your images, so that they appear in a useful/browsable way in Theater View?

Thanks much!

It filters based on the files in the view.

If you're in an image-only view, it should only auto-complete/list image albums.  This is how it's working for me.

Matt,
My fault.. I have assigned Album tag to quite a few cover art pictures hence the audio album names in image view.
I excluded them from the Image view so I forgot about them but they are still in the library...
Thanks!

Matt,
This still stands... When images grouped by Month, the months get listed in alphabetical order in the thumbnail area of the standard view - don't think it's right. They are listed correctly in the panes, though.

if I group by Month - the images get grouped in alphabetical order - April, December, February.. not Jan, Feb, March.. This doesn't look right to me either.
