I brought this up during the onebrowser testing. It was always at the bottom in SqueezePlay and the ip3k interfaces, which works well in those cases when you have just one list. But in the web interface it's now located in an inconvenient place when the list is paged. I don't know how much work it would be to reproduce the old behavior of placing the link on each page. There's a similar thing that happened in browsing artists. 'Various Artists' used to be at the top of every page, but now it's only at the top of the first page. > 2.

At least it will keep people from constantly bringing up some of the seemingly odd count differences. But I do miss the old counts in certain places such as the album and track counts that used be shown for an individual artist. > 3. 7.6 seems to find different cover art, or at least searches in a > different order.

It _should_ still prefer the old artwork filenames, but if none are found (and there's no embedded artwork) then the scanner selects the first image file in the directory (alphabetically, I believe). You may have uncovered a bug. I have a lot of other artwork in my album folders and haven't seen this yet. > 4. Artwork is being scaled differently. eg.

There are two bugs filed for this: 'bug 17140' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17140) and 'bug 17361' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17361). > 5.

Some other differences can be found in the cookie crumbs. It's attempted to better track the path used to get to a particular point, which is welcome. Some of it works well, but some of it not quite. Occasionally an extra item gets inserted into the crumbs list. Not a big deal, but it shouldn't be there. Another small but easily fixed bug, is 'bug 17369' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17369), where there is no link to the album name on either the album or song info pages. In many instances when viewing a filtered list of tracks, there's no link to the whole album. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89233 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
