'Original Year' & 'Year' tags - What's the difference?
My environment:
Linux, Ubuntu 24.02
Large monitor, normal viewing distance 5 feet (I don't have a TV)
Strawberry 1.2.3Problem
To my way of thinking;
a 'compilation' album, collects a sample of an artists work, produced over a period of years.
a 'Various Artists' album is something elseOver time, I've associated the original issue date with tracks on 'compilation' albums.
As a new user, I'm experimenting with various sidebar sorts.
I've just sorted my albums in the sidebar, using 'Group by Album artist/Year - Album'.
But the 'compilation' albums were separated further by the year the individual track was released.I then experimented with 'year' and 'original year'.
Displaying both fields in the Playlist view, it appears that if you change one of the fields, the other changes as well, i.e.
change the date in 'year' and the 'original year' date changes
change the date in 'original year' and the 'year' date changesIt would be useful in the 'compilation' scenario to have a 'year' for the album release and 'original year' for the track release date. This is impossible to achieve if the fields cannot be independently populated.
Or am I doing something wrong? -
Column Heading - Drop Down List
My environment:
Linux, Ubuntu 24.02
Large monitor, normal viewing distance 5 feet (I don't have a TV)
Strawberry 1.2.2 (Upgraded yesterday)Problem:
When choosing to add a column to a view, a list of available columns is shown. Unfortunately, one of the 'sort' items I use most (Rating) is not visible; because, I believe, it's at the bottom of the list and the last visible item 'Mood' is only partially visible.
(I am a new user and have found that if I create new Smart Playlists, I will, eventually, create one which will show me the Rating column.)Suggestion:
Make it possible to resize the 'column heading' list, or format it as 2 or 3 columns, of a fixed size, that's kept well away from the edge of the monitor display.
