Hi, sorry for the delay. Can you send me more information.

Tell me how the album appears in album view and how you expect to have it.
What are the tags of the files (you can send me or share somewhere the files), specialy the album tag in this case ?

Or have you find a woraround by editing tack in yarock for example ?
Thanks

I have found a workaround indeed. When i add a complication album i change the artist tag to Various Artists.

You can close this for now.

Hi, sorry I have not work on this point last time. Yes it's the way I was thinking.

If you have ideas to make it more convenient, I'm open to suggestions.

Hi, I have some ideas to improve a bit this awsome program. (congratulation, btw).

Please read everything, as all of them are solutions which make sense together.

These comments are only for Album view.

1) The right button shouldn't show Album in the second Column, but Artist (Never Album's Artist). (Some albums have several artists, and Second Column could display each of them). Album is already displayed, but never the artist when Album's artist was used and there are several Artist in the album, or some collaborations. Also good for Recopilations and ALbum's artist was used as Various Artists.

2) In the right button overview, please increase a bit the width space available, in order to avoid horizontal scroll when there are more songs than the screen resolution allows vertically and vertical Scroll appears (other option is to hide Horizontal Scroll always, as elements are fixed and the horizontal scroll is not necessary in any case).

3) When there are more than 1 disc, split the table in the Right buton overview by num of Disc

1 ------------------
 song 1 (From Disc1)
 song 2 (From Disc1)
 ...
2 ------------------
 song 1 (From Disc2)
 song 2 (From Disc2)
 ...

Instead of:

 song 1 (From Disc1)
 song 2 (From Disc1)
 ...
 song 1 (From Disc2)
 song 2 (From Disc2)

I hope it helps as improvements.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedbacks and your effort to improve this aspect.

I think I can keep some of your suggestions. Some other (like multi-artist) has to be think globally. However, I agree with all your points, I have now to find the best way to make it :)

For the right menu and the scrollbar issue, I have no scrollbar by default on my system. Can you send me some screenshot and the detail of your configuration (distribution ? systeme theme ?...)

Thanks you. Regards

Hi, I provide you some details of my linux distrubution, DE, and other configuration.
I guess it's due to the low resolution of my Laptop 1366*768.

Attached you can see my config + issue with the scroll.

many thanks!

Hi, I just wanted to confirm that the above second point (Issue with scroll) was totally fixed.
As it is now it's perfect.

Many thanks!
