Excellent.. Should be less load on the server during a scan too, which is never a bad thing.. > Cover chooser is better. There are still a few issues, but the main things > are: > > 1.

Ah yes, I tidied some of the buttons up. Repopulate and resize were really more for debugging stuff.. There's a work-round though.. If you want a new random order, just select the sort->random again. If you want the same order, but not the ones currently displayed, use the scrollbar. I still need to sort the previous/next buttons out a bit - page counts, etc.. > 2.

Yup. Not sure what to do about this as it could be quite annoying if it highlights other albums when the mouse is over the zoomed highlighted album.. Could have a key-modifier maybe.. Of course the albums should be repelled to make room for the growing highlighted one I guess.. Could be quite a nice effect.. > I like viewing in layout mode sorted by colour.

There is code in there to fill both ways, but it should always be filling the first column, row by row, then the second column, etc, so when you scroll horizontally, the sorting makes sense. Are you seeing it fill the other way, like a TV scanline ? Might be a bug somewhere if you are.. I was going to add an option to allow scrolling horizontally or vertically at some point.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove http://groups.google.com/group/moosenews _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
