This could also work in the artist column of the "track browser"
... I really like the genre icon.
OK, I realized it's not a bug per se. It happens because it's used as if it's a third column of column browser when it's not. But some handling would be needed for such usage.i tried following your steps and cant reproduce any incorrect behavior. I dont understand what you mean by the above, especially "used as if it's a third column". You only refer to 2 browser columns in your steps. If you mean the thumbnail browser as the 3rd column then selecting items in it shouldnt affect the other 2 columns - if thats what you are saying then there must be more steps involved than what has been said
Would be useful if A-Z jump bar supports thumbnail browser when it has focus.when you click the a-z bar the previous control loses focus so i doubt i would implement that. You can already just press the first letter(s) in the panel to jump to an item
I don't know what people would think about it, but I'd prefer to have the total number of albums, rather than the total number of tracks (as consistent with the main papel when albums are grouped by artist).+1
yes you are correct

4. Larger left margin in thumbnail browser would look nicer and more consistent with other lists, but that's just my opinion.
When switching to another artist type, the number of tracks displayed for each item in thumbnail browser doesn't match with what's shown in the main panel.if one of the artists was selected at the time then its incorrectly only reloading the files only of that one artist. If thats what you mean then thats fixed
1. There is a 1px gap between the selection box and the scrollbar.1 should already have been fixed and 2 should be fixed now. I made a small indent increase for 4 and not done anything for 3
2. Selected text is drawn with a solid background color, which doesn't blend well with gradient selection background.
3. There's already a skin setting for artwork border color, so maybe it could be used in this view as well.

- it now shows album count for Artists and Genres if the main panel layout is Album and Tracks or ArtworkVery clever
The only thing I would like to see in a future version is the ability to select larger sized thumbnails for people with large monitors.
Steven do you think the work you did on the thumbnail browser could be used to create a now playing list layout i proposed here (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=9199.msg53885#msg53885) (the second one)?
Album Artist is treated exactly the same way as it is in the column browser; ie. if there is no album artist tag then it uses the artist tag insteadOk, that's fine.
When sorting by Album Artist, if a track's Album Artist tag is empty, the track is shown in both the 'Empty' category at the top of the browser, and additionally below it.
just done for the main panel (i probably wont dont this for the library explorer unless there are a number of requests for that)I'd really like to have the thumbnail brower for the library explorer. Would give more flexibility to MB layout:
Dunno if it's intended, but when you select an album, then a track with the Artwork layout, the thumbnail browser only show the album artist of this album, while with the Album & Tracks layout, it still show the complete album artists list (the album artist of the selected track is just highlighted).if you are referring to double clicking on a picture to drill down into the tracks of the album then the thumb browser will reflect the artists of the album. If thats what you mean i dont see how its comparable to using the album and tracks layout and not something i would change
@KissCool - Have you shared the skin in those screens above? It looks pretty damn nice!
