When "Customizing a current view" (eg, adding/removing columns), is there a way to apply the changes to ALL views?

[raym]

*bump*

I thought this feature was added to version 12? Maybe I'm wrong but maybe I just can't work it out?

Anyone know?

[dcwebman]

I never heard that it was added back, even though it has been requested many times and questioned why it was removed in the first place.

[Magic_Randy]

It's not there, but you can use presets.

Thanks. I'll look into this presets thing then.

That's a shame

If it was added to MC12, I've never been able to find it.

I upgraded from MC11 to MC12. I don’t know if it is the normal way like everyone does it, but I imported my “old” library into MC12. I didn’t want to start a complete new library. So I imported had over 600 playlist into MC.

Now I wanted to change the view settings for all my playlists. I wanted to do this once, but I didn’t find the option to apply settings into every sub playlist or some equal option.

So, if it has been removed (as I read above), perhaps anyone from J River Team is able to tell me, how it can be done without changing every single playlist…

[StFeder]

What about a little hint? Nothing to make it easier? I don't have to customize all the 600 Playlists one by one... right?

Sorry, as far as I know, you do. Unless you perhaps find some macro tool out there that will do it for you.

  At least I know, that is was not my fault missing that functiion... maybe we'll get it back, if we beg

I just thought I'd add my support.  I very much miss the badly named but functionally excellent "Apply to all child views" button in the Customize Current View dialog.

What I'd really like to see I guess would be to have the Customize Current View dialog merged into the Edit View Scheme dialog, and just have you modify all the view settings in one dialog.

Then we could have a "Honor Parent View Settings" checkbox (similar to the "Honor Parent Search Strings" checkbox).  If this happened, they would, of course, need to modify the Playlists and Smartlists to give them access to this limited part of the Edit View Scheme dialog, but it'd be easy enough to just gray out the portions of the dialog box that didn't apply to those types of views.

Can we PLEASE get back a option like the old "Apply to all child views" or (even better) something like glynor explained  ?

I just wanted to organize a few new (and some old) images in MC12, but I first have to change the view of all my picture playlists!! For pictures, it is good to have eg. the people or place pane visible but I do not need the duration and bitrate pane And I don’t now what to do with artist and title in connection with photos!!
Btw: Arguing against duration and bitrate pane in image views MC itself is on my side it also doesn’t know what to do with them. Believe it or not: these fields are empty for all my pictures!

For my homevideos I’d like to see the people pane, for musicvideos I would like artist better, but I never used the bitrate pane for videos!!!

So, please, can someone explain me how I can get along with my 600 Playlists? And: how to organize the view if I’m using the media buttons? And a little thing curious to me: why does not everyone who manages photos, videos AND audios within MC does have the same problem?

If you reset the view at all locations, MC will detect logical columns and list styles for your playlists automatically. (so image playlists get image styles)

We may provide a way to globally set the view setting, although it's a little tricky since, as you've said, you only want the changes made to certain views.

I’m sorry, but this doesn’t work for me. MC always resets to audio view, even if reset the view at all locations… but no matter about that. I’m happy to see that it is in your mind to bring this (basic as I thought) feature back some time.

As I said: the old way (Apply to all child views) was working very good for me. Don’t know why it was removed!? For me it works fine.

Create a playlist of only images.  Do reset view.  It'll switch to thumbnails.  Switch it to details manually and you'll see image-type columns.

Didn't work. I choose one picture playlist, then "view setting"-> "customize current view" -> "reset view..." -> "for this location". Tried the same for "all locations". I always get the panes used for audio file view (Seq,Name, Artist, Album, comment, duration, Track #, Date, user field 1, Bitrate, Date imported, Filename).

Even if this option works: it's not what the programm to do. So, I'm still looking forward of what you guys will bring us

btw: is it possible to change the view all locations are reseted to?

I would say that right now MC does an excellent job of logically knowing which settings to apply everywhere.
