Re[2]: Netjuke 1.0b18-pre3 Released!

Hello Steven,

I remember having seen something similar here but I can't recreate it at
the moment. Does this happen in any genre with any artists and any
album?

My thoughts exactly. I just hesitated removing it since I'm don't know
if anyone is using the pop up window function right now, for e.g.
browsing through alphabet or artists with leaving the pop up window
open.

The first problem with that will be that netjuke doesn't now if an
album is complete. Determining this accurately is not very easy
whereas an "if (tracks > 6)" would do the trick in most cases. Not
having any single track presented as album would be a step up though,
at least with a collection of your size.
As for selecting multiple albums (of an artists) at once using
check boxes: I think it would be nice but we have not much space left
in the userinterface. I don't want the userinterface become too crowded
with buttons and checkboxes.

Do you mean column ordering of the explore view?

Interesting idea, but I don't see that being implemented in the near
future since there are so many other things to work on atm.
