Hello all,
First of, I hope that you and your families are safe and healthy in this crisis.
I have pushed versions 3.2.58 (Leia) and 3.3.58 (Master) to GitHub only.
This is a big change (for me), with important additions to the List, Low List and Tall List views:
1. I have added the option to disable the info panel on a per view, per media type basis. What this means is that you can disable the info panel for List view for Movies, but leave it enabled for TV Shows, or that you can have it disabled for List view for movies, but leave it enabled for Low List and for Tall List. You will find the option now in the side blade (press Left in any media view).
2. I have added a new option to swap the info panel and the list items, also on a per view, per media type basis. This means that the list items will now be in the center, and the info panel will be on the right. The option appears in the side blade as "Alternate List Layout". Like the disable panel option, you can enable the alternate layout for movies, but keep the original layout for music, and you can enable it for tv shows for List view, but not enable it for tv shows for Low List view.
3. There are global settings for these two options in Settings, Amber Settings, Media Views: Disable Info Panel in List Views and Alternate List Views Layout. if you enable these settings globally, then they will be enabled for all three views, for all media types. Likewise, if you disable them globally, they will be disabled for all three views, for all media types. You can, however, disable them globally and enable them individually per view and media type, and enable them globally and disable them individually per view and media type.
The different media types considered are: Movies, TV Shows, Seasons, Episodes, Music Videos, Addons, Images (Pictures), Music (Albums and Artists) and Others (all other media types).
4. I have added the option, when the info panel is disabled, to show a larger image for Pictures in the list views. This reduces the list items width by about half and increases the image size as much as possible within the constraints of the view type.
These changes are big and touched all of the code for the List, Low List and Tall List views. That is why I have only uploaded them to GitHub for now. Please test thoroughly, and let me know of any issues you find. There is one issue that I still have not figured out a solution for: sometimes, when you press left in a media view, nothing happens. If you press Left again, the side panel will show correctly. I am still researching the root cause of this.
Other changes:
5. The Show Main Rating and Show Certification settings for media views have been split from the ones for the Video Info dialog. This means that you can choose to disable the main rating and certification from appearing in the media views, and still have them show up in the Video Info dialog. Please remember to go to Settings, Amber Settings, Video Info, Select Displayed Ratings and Certification to choose which you want to appear in the video info dialog.
Thank you in advance for downloading and testing thoroughly.
Regards,
Bart
