GUI changes for v3.0

[Steven]

It appears that the toggle for the list duration at the bottom bar is not working. I used to be able to toggle between 1.4 hours or 1:24:55 (as an example) by clicking on the numbers but this does not seem to work anymore in 5897 where I am stuck with the less insightful 1.5.

its working fine for me. Can you post a screenshot so i can see your layout

Using 3.0.5897 with one pinned tab (an auto-playlist.)  If I right-click the tab and click on Pin Tab (in order to unpin it) MB throws an error.  The pinned icon remains on the tab but there's no check mark next to "Pin Tab."  MB continues on its merry little way with no interruption.  If more than one tab exists, there's no error when trying to unpin.

thats probably the same error that AvikB reported in which case it should be fixed for the next update

Confirmed with right sidebar hidden.  Otherwise seems to work fine.

MB3 v3.0.5896:

I've got a tab I've labeled "Library" and the view is set to the Music library. In the center panel, I've got the Artist column, then to the right is the Album and Tracks column. Under the Album and Tracks column I've got the columns Artwork, Album, Album Rating, Disc - Tracks #, Time, Title, Rating. I've noticed that the Album Rating column entries are displaying for each track (seems odd to be per-track). I can't click any of them to set the album's rating. Highlighting a track shows the faint (unrated) stars for the Album Rating, but nothing happens when I click on any of them. Intentional?

Also a suggestion: Is there any way the Album Rating could be one set of 5 stars placed under either the Artwork or the Album entry? Seems like it would be a more logical placement.

i dont really understand your post. Are you using the Album and Tracks layout? If not it sounds like what you want. Otherwise post a screenshot as that might help

Here ya go:

Here ya go:

just add Album Rating as a picture field (in the Album and Tracks configuration)

In my case it seems to happen with the right sidebar both hidden and being displayed.

Is there a reason pinned tabs default to the left of a locked tab? Have the global Music node as a locked tab (prefer visual text for this tab) and would have liked pinned tabs to the right of this. Also, don't seem to be able to drag tabs to re-arrange when there is a combination of locked and pinned.

I also wonder if it would be a good visual cue when clicking a pinned tab that the tab icon doesn't disappear when the text is displayed.

In the panel layout window, I have chosen the elements to show in the right sidebar. I put them in the order that they should show up in my right sidebar, but they display in an order different from the order that I have the elements arranged in panel layout. Is this a bug, or is it not possible to determine the order that the elements show in the right sidebar?

i have made a change so the arranged panel layout is used for the tab ordering

Ah! I got it. Thanks!

I tried to Love a track and got this...


...then tried again with another track and it workedjust fine.

Why it is no more possible to get the Now Playing layout we had in MB2 (see screenshot)?

You can still do that, just enable the "Now Playing Bar" in the panel layout window.

Awesome! I did not see the coming of this new element (I didn't see it in MB3 in January).
Thanks a lot!
