New layout truncate names too much

Postby cyril0 » Mon May 16, 2016 11:51 pm

I just upgraded to the newest version on my linux server and the new layout makes it difficult to find things. I have thousands of albums, each one level down from root with the naming format: "Artist Name Album Name/" and those can be quite long. Since the new layout I now have 7 columns of folders listed in the index view that are only about 25 characters long.

I used to be able to edit the

/var/subsonic/jetty/31sad0/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp and change the width of the list column and make the readable section longer but that has since moved somewhere else. Does anyone know how I could alter the layout to only have 2 or 3 columns with a much longer number of characters?

Thank you

I would love to see the answer to this as well. I have a lot of columns that truncate the names. I know you can hover over the name and it will show but I would like to quickly scan them without waiting for the pop up.

I think I have spoke to soon. Digging into the source it looks like you need the file:
/var/subsonic/jetty/a7857c/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/artists.jsp

Go in with a text editor and change

.browse-artist {
float: left;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 12em; <----- This is the line you want to change. change the 12 to something like 30 and it will expand the names more
padding: 0.2em 1.5em 0.2em 1.5em;
font-weight: 300;

If this isn't the correct place to do it please let me know.
