Title: Tagging Help-Two Line Album Name
Post by: jtwrace on December 01, 2013, 02:00:05 pm

I know this can be done and it's very simple but I'm struggling. 

I want the albums attached to have two lines so I know the albums that are live (same cover) are from what location.  I've changed the name so I know but can't get it to show with two lines so I can read it in this view.

Edit the Thumbnail text and include a second line expression.  The expression should grab what it needs from Name.  If you're not sure how to do this, show the full Name's that are representative of what you'll want to see on this second line.  The expression might just grab the last N characters, or grab a consistent pattern, or ...

Thanks but I don't know how or see a place to do this.

OK, got that now.  This isn't my strong suite.  Can you just tell me what to put there in the second line now?

I need to know how you want to break apart Name.  I can't see the full Name values in your screenshot.

I see.  I just want to put city & state in the second line.  So one example will be Boulder, CO

Are these values (City/State) located in some other field as well?

Or do we have to figure out how to take a random Name value, and separate out City/State (which may be difficult).  If the latter, show the full Name values.

See attached.  Maybe this will help you help me.   :)

It's only these four albums (as of now).

Let me suggest that you use the Places field for this purpose, since you only have a few items to update.

Set Places to Boulder, CO for these few albums, and then set your Thumbnail Text to:

  [Name]
  [Places]

If you want to remove the "Boulder, CO" string from Name in the Thumbnail Text, you could use:

  Replace([Name], [Places])
  [Places]

as your Thumbnail Text.
