MM5 Last Played Column Alignment

[dypsis]

What causes the Last Played column alignment to become misaligned on some entries like in the image below?




Also. Where do I find Browser View?

[MiPi]

I tried with several thousands rows with filled Last Played column with the same format and skin and cannot see this at all. Is it reproducible with the same files always? Or are some specific repro steps needed? I cannot find any reason for this behavior.

"Browser view" is available on what I think of as the "home" panel for each of your collections ... ie. the place before you open any of the sub-nodes like Artist, or Album, or Composer etc ... eg. at >EntireLibrary

It is also available in the detail panel for an Artist, or for a Album, or for a Composer, etc ... eg. at EntireLibrary>Albums>A Hard Day's Night

I don't think that Browser View is a great name for it, because it suggests to me, more than what it is. ... but I suppose "home" view is not any better

It's all throughout that column.
That is just one example of many.

I haven't found anything that can reproduce it or why it happens.

does it happen in all skins?

dypsis: could you compress and send me your MM5.db? I would try it with the same data, I have currently no idea how to achieve it. You can use any file sharing service and PM me link, thanks. Please add also persistent.json file from the same folder.

I managed to trigger it once. ... Version 2245.
There were multiple rows affected, but not in clusters, and not on the same scroll page.
I wasn't fixed by a F5 refresh, but it was fixed when I resized the last Played column. ... and after that I was unable to replicate.

I could not make it happen at EntireLibaray>AllTracks ... but I got it in a custom collection in xxx>Albums, and I noticed it when i switched I switched from Grid or ListbyAlbum view --> List view.

Yes, it does.
I just tested it now. Although the fonts in some skins make it less noticeable. For example, Golden Monkey.

I wish it was available in the sub-nodes.

Hi MiPi.

A PM has been sent with a link to an archive containing my MM5 database file and persistent.json.

"Browser view" is ... [snip]

I wish it was available in the sub-nodes.

My 1st thought was "what would be the point? It wouldn't offer anything extra, to what is already available at the top of the collection"

But after some thought I agree with you:

• the MM5 UI would be more consistent, and therefore easier to learn ... your question is proof of that

• it would add some extra value to the new "pinned" facility ... if I am in the Albums sub-node for a collection, it would be useful to see the pinned albums for the current collection ... ie. the "pinned" display should be filtered to just show pinned entities which match the filter AND the sub-node's index type

I think that the real question should be "why isn't it there?" ... rather than "why should it be there?" ... MM5 is too modal

Problem with last column alignment should be fixed in the next build, thanks for cooperation.

I agree with all that, Barry.

Thanks, MiPi.

Well done.
