Title: 'comments' field under detail view
Post by: hughlilly on February 21, 2010, 04:14:16 AM

It'd be cool to somehow have the "comments" tag available under display fields...

Instead of adding a new line to the 'Player Control Panel' which would add screen waste,
perhaps the display could alternate between 'Now Playing' and 'Comments' -
if comments are present.

Although I have sometimes comments fields tagged, most of the time I don't.
Greetings

Just to be clear, this is where I meant:

you can already acheieve that
from the Layout preferences, or using the drop-down by the details panel header, choose Configure Panel Layout
and just add <Comment> to one of the display fields. You can wrap it over multiple lines if you want using the row span setting

I do realise now i'm no longer showing the field selector button in this panel so i will add that back in, but <Comment> represents the comments field

Oh great, thanks! I swear I'd already tried that, maybe not with an uppercase C though.

the field selector has been restored in the latest 1.2 beta
