Title: more standard fields in the tiles
Post by: gappie on April 30, 2010, 10:51:53 am
tiles are a nice extra addition, and ofcourse i hope that the info shown will be changable in the future. but till then  ;) : since the tiles can be used with any media type, would it be possible to add some standard fields for those, like genre, composer, people, places, etc...

thanks

and maybe the duration could be with seconds, when something takes some hours only minutes makes sence, when only 3 minutes the seconds there would be nice.

There could be two nice options here I think:

There could be two nice options here I think:
  • A configuration dialog like the one used for file info panel in theatre view
  • A text-editor where you could create templates with formatting and fields/expressions etc (eg bold, italicise, change font size and position of fields) - think of track info templates
i agree with that 100%, but, knowing the mc development cycles, i hope for some additions for the time being. when they would be added they would only be shown when there is a value, so not interupt with forinstance the movie stuff.

and how about artist and album  ?
it is really nice that tiles can be used with audio, but to use it for keywords alone is a bit thin.
