tagnavi.config v2.0 syntax

I don't think this is possible, sadly.

I would like to be able to list all albums in a similar way to yours but, reading the Wiki, it appears that the formatting only applies to the Title attribute and that the Title must be the last level displayed...

I would like something similar as well, but unfortunately the way you describe has a conceptual problem. You assume that all tracks from the same album have the same year tag, which may not be the case. For maximum flexibility we would really want an equivalent to the SQL 'group by'. But I can't see how this can be implemented efficiently for tagcache.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for the tagnavi_config file. I find it very useful. I have a question regarding the format of the tag.

 I would like to preserve the order of songs as I listen a lot to live albums. For example, Dave Matthews Live in NY is a 3 CD set. When I choose Dave Matthews and select  the playlist is sorted by "Title".

If  that is not possible,  does " allow customization through tagnavi syntax?  I can then display soemthing like Album-Track Number-Title to preserve the order.

thanks

I am afraid, is always sorted by title.

Not always what one wants, but I can't think of a good solution on how to implement it.

It would be good if auto-change directory worked for the virtual folders in tag cache.

roolku is correct, the < All Tracks > format is unmodifiable, but you should be able to do this:

%format "fmt_long" "%s-%02d-%-%s" album tracknum title
"Multi-album Artist" -> artist -> title = "fmt_long"

I've tested this on my H120 and it works a treat :)
