Hi,

Wondering if I can control the spacing before and after the thumbnail text in the album view.  I've edited the thumbnail text in the Albums & Artists view to:

[Album Artist (auto)]
[Album]
If(IsEmpty([Year]), , /[[Year]/])
IfElse(
    IsEqual([Channels],2,2), Stereo,
    IsEqual([Channels],4,2), MCH 4.0,
    IsEqual([Channels],5,2), MCH 5.0,
    IsEqual([Channels],6,2), MCH 5.1
)


I would like the text below the album art to take up less space.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you have extra new-lines (return characters) at the top of your expression.  Does your expression have blank spaces at the top?

If not, scroll through your list and look for an album that has the text all the way to the top.  MC auto sizes all of the thumbnail texts to be the same vertical height.  That height is based upon the one that takes up the most space with text.  You might have some album that is generating an unusual amount of thumbnail text, resulting in this extra spacing.  Just guessing.

Good luck,

Brian.

I recently tackled a similar issue here.

Although we can write expressions 'multi-line' as shown above, the thumbnail text doesn't like them... at all!

Try putting that final expression in a single line...

Code: [Select]

IfElse(IsEqual([Channels],2,2), Stereo, IsEqual([Channels],4,2), MCH 4.0, IsEqual([Channels],5,2), MCH 5.0, IsEqual([Channels],6,2), MCH 5.1)
I think that might be enough to cure your problem.

Thx Marko and Brian!!

That was it.  Didn't realize it was taking the formatting from the code.    Now I know.

Cheers.
