I suppose you want it as a means of displaying what's in Playing Now when using an Album Thumbnails list style
That is exactly what I want, as well as away to select tracks from an album, ideally it would populate just from selecting an album...
I'm not bothered about the pane being functional as it will only be for the two above mention functions..
It works fine the way I did it if you change Playing Now behaviour.. But while that if fine for that view I would wish for all my views to behave that way. This is why I propose the ability to set Playing Now behaviour in the advanced settings for a view scheme.. I don't see why not, individual view schemes, can have individual rules for file display, why not at with least some of the available library options.. This could open up a whole new dimension of customisability..
I just thought of a potential way to solve this.... It rests on something being possible in the first place though... Can I make a pane that will act essentially as a view switch?? Using something along the lines of the following code
if(isinplayingnow(),Yes,No)
If yes is selected it will only show the thumbnail of the current playing album and no will show all album.. Is it possible to change the calculated data of a field based on whether or not yes or no is selected in my pane? If you can, then I could make a field called
view and if yes were selected in the pane, it could dynamically change the value of
view it would also with the nature of the expression show only one album that is playing..
The code would then change to something alone the lines of if(isinplayingnow(),Yes&[View]=1,No&[View]=0)
If the selection of yes put the value of 1 into
view then I could make an expression to be placed in the thumbnail text that would only show if
view had a value of 1..
The thumbnail expression extension would be along the lines of;
if(isequal([view],1,2),if(isinplayingnow(),[Track #] - [Name],),)
The tracks would not be selectable though, only visual, tracklisting would iin theory only appear on the screen the conditions are similar to the second image below..
