How to display file names in Theater Mode?
« on: January 15, 2022, 01:10:57 pm »

In Standard Mode it's possible to customize the columns shown for file list views. I use it to display the file name instead of the title of media files, using the "Filename (name)" column for sub-nodes of the "Drives & Devices".

However, the choice does not seem to be used in Theater Mode by the "Gadgets -> Explorer" view. I toggled list style in this view to have the list of files displayed, but I noticed that it shows only one column: the title from the media file. Since this is not always filled with the right info, it's hard to figure out what files I am looking at.

Is it possible to configure the Theater View to show the "Filename (name)" column instead of the "Title" one?

Theater View has its own customization options.  Tools > Options > Theater View.

Indeed, it has. And I knew about it. I did not find any info in the wiki how to customize what is shown in the Explorer list view though, that's why I asked. The wiki Theater View page simply lists the settings without much info on what those settings do.

Maybe the "Customize file info panel" would be what I need, but I don't understand the purpose of the templates in the dialog and the fields and where they are used. And if there is a wiki page which describes this, I did not find it.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

AFAIK the Explorer gadget in Theater View is not configurable.

It would be better to display the full filename in the explorer gadget. Is there a file that can be edited to achieve this or anything?
