PictureFlow same album name?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Progweed:
I couldn't agree more with Avalon. I always thought that albums grouped by artist would make the PictureFlow plugin much, much more useful. Perhaps there could be an option to toggle this behaviour on and off?

Avalon:
I have a work around that I use if you are interested.

1. In the ID3 tags copy the "Album Tag" to the "Album Artist" tag.

2. Modify the "Album" ID3 tag to contain Artist Album.

3. Edit the theme to access the "Album Artist" (%iA and %IA) rather then the "Album" (%id and %Id).

This way, Pictureflow displays the Album and Artist sorted by Artist and then by Album.  The theme displays the normal album title.

If you don't mind the theme displaying the Artist Album for the Album display, just leave out 1 &3 above.

I know that this takes a little effort, but when it is done, the result is great.  Software such as Tag&Rename can do this very quickly.  I usually check the ID3 tags and apply Replay Gain before putting on my player anyway, so this is not a great inconvenience for me.

Hope this is helpful until someone modifies PictureFlow.

Sorry to bump an old thread but can anyone tell me how to edit the theme as in step 3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just open the .wps file in a text editor and replace the "Album" tag as shown above.

Sorry to be a pain but I am using the ArboxWidgets theme.

I have opened up the ArboxWidgets.wps and cannot see any "Album" tag.

Anybody know where this is ( what line number ) ?

Thanks in advance.
