Layout requests for reviews and Cover Art.

[bluetooth]

1. I would like to see the album review beside the cover art when displaying a single album, or on the now playing screen. This might be incorporated into the comments option, but displaying a text file, AMG Review.txt in my case would be preferable.

2. I would like to have the number of albums displayed horizontally to be configurable. I have a 22" widescreen and there is a lot of empty real estate beside the five covers displayed.

Thanks for listening Sindre!

That's configurable in Settings -> Advanced -> Cover art limit

Number of rows is configurable. I would like to increase the number of columns.

I read that, but then I tried with my subsonic and I can fit six columns ( screen resolution stops me from exceeding that ) so I thought you might not be familiar with the setting.

Oh.. just realized it appears differently when browsing one given artist or when using the Newest, Highest rated, etc. slides.. I guess these last ones are the ones you are referring to?

If you have an artist with a lot of albums or a genre-folder on root, then the cover-art limit will extend dynamically both the columns and rows while browsing them.. I can see the fixed five column on the other pages though..

When I display the home page, or Newest, etc. I only see 5 columns of albums. I would like it ideally resize based on my monitor width, or have it configurable.

Well.. you could do it yourself until it becomes a configurable option in the settings..

It's the
<c:if test="${loopStatus.count % 5 == 1}"> in <SUBSONIC-WEBAPPS>/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp line 68
and the
<c:if test="${loopStatus.count % 5 == 0}"> in <SUBSONIC-WEBAPPS>/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp line 118

Change the 5 to whatever you'd like at both the top and bottom of the while and you're good to go

I agree that it would be nice to have it as a configurable setting though

Thanks!
I'll ask the dumb question. Considering I'm not a programmer, I use the Windows service instead of Tomcat.

Do I need to use the TomCat version to use this enhancement?

[jigsaw]

I'm not sure. Never tested the windows installer..
Try to search for the home.jsp file somewhere under the subsonic installation..

Got it. Thanks.

Another question for you. Is frame creation in SubSonic done using a class? What I mean is, could the frame be queried for its width? That would seem to be the most elegant way to determine how many covers can fit horizontally.
