Banshee's Album Listing is Not Adjustable

[Cole Mickens]

It is not possible to switch between the default album grid view [1] and the album list view [2] without digging in gconf-editor. More importantly, it is not at all possible to disable the album listing completely.

Hi there. Thanks a lot for reporting this as a papercut, however I am marking this as invalid as this constitutes a feature request. A papercut should be a small usability bug in an already existing feature. For more information on what constitutes a paercut, please see here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

As for the suggestion itself, I'm going to mark it as affecting both Banshee in Ubuntu and Banshee upstream and let the developers make a decision about the status of this bug.

for the second[2] issue could you fill a new report please? by the way, I have sent first problem to upstream tracker so you can follow and track status of this issue at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637170

Kamus, sorry, I don't understand. It's just one bug - that the flag for grid/list view for Albums is not visible in Banshee and can only be adjusted via gconf-editor. The two screenshots just show the effect of changing the flag, so it is just one bug.

Oh, unless you meant that I should file a separate bug report for disabling the album view entirely? Should I create that new bug report in the Banshee launchpad project, since it doesn't seem to belong in One Hundred Paper Cuts?

That's right Cole! Is just for maintain an order under bug triage process :) (one bug report per issue/requirement)

For your second issue there is a report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540873

The option is in Preferences / Source specific / Music / Disable album grid, no gconf digging is necessary.
