custom File Info Panel
« on: January 09, 2018, 10:02:28 am »

Hi all,

I eventually found some time to fiddle with the Theater View. I'd like to further customize the File Info Panel, tightening the cells of short fields (for example, Critic Rating and Duration), so that they can share the same line. Is this possible? What file should I edit?

Something like the attached?

Come at it from another angle...

You've found the customisation tool, and the correct template to edit, so, you click the "Add" button, and choose "Expression".

In there, type away. At its most basic, you could type along the lines of...

Duration: [Duration] • Rating: [Critic Rating]

But, as it's expressions we're using here, you can get quite creative. You could colour the text, you could perform tests so that different info appears under certain situations, and so on.

If you start off with that basic line, and also remove the existing Rating and Duration entries, that should get you up and running.
Hope that helps a little.

Thanks, Marco; I've already been playing with expressions, but you gave me the idea to create different templates for my needs. It's now closer to what I'd like.
