DEVS: Is this really how it shuld work or just a workaround?

[Angyman]

Hi all,
i am currently working on a theme and ran into that case which i thought should work but doesnt:
If album art found  show several alternating scroling sublines otherwise only one scrolling line

%?C< %al%s%t3 YES Album Text 01;%al%s%t3 YES Album Text 02 | %al%s NO Album Text >

This doesnot work instead i have to write that:


%?C< %al%s%t3 YES Album Text 01| %al%s%t3 NO Album Text >;%?C< %al%s%t3 YES Album Text 02| %al%s%t3 NO Album Text >


It works like that now but it appears to me more like a workaround... i expected the first version to work. I know this is just a minor and more or less unimportant thing.

The ; denotes the end of a whole line, you cannot split a conditional with one. This is the way it's supposed to work.

you could do this with conditional viewports (FS#9027)
