    Default artist page in version 6

    is there a way to see artist page with pic, info, etc., as a web page, without right-clicking? just as you see album or track page? like - clicking on an artist's name in the tree on the left and get albums and artist page on the right (hope you understand what i mean...)

    I agree... I think!

    Anyone worked out how to incorporate the ARTIST page in daxeditor into your main DB interface? Would it be possible, for instance, to have - on the right side - one-third page a list of albums, one third an album preview view, and one third artist info? Have had a quick look, but can't quite get the hang....

    I've only had a quick look at the new features, but as far as the artist page goes there seems to be something missing: an artistlink tag and possibly more. I'm not sure.

    I'm in the process of working my way thru the beta version, comparing features, tags etc. Thought I'd update my documentation. But it'll take some time.

    In the mean time I hope Andrei can shed some light on the artist page feature.

    In the Default Theme (included with OCD 6 beta 1), the following code is placed under the Artist page tab:

    /*
    Default Theme.dax
    Copyright (c) Firetongue Software, 1997-2003
    */

    start["Start page"] {
    show_tasks["Display common tasks"] : bool = true;
    show_news["Display new albums"] : bool = true;
    newssize["Number of new albums to display"] : int = 5;
    newscoversize["New album cover size (pixels)"] : int = 64;
    show_curdate["Display current date"] : bool = true;
    show_tips["Display tip of the day"] : bool = true;
    show_links["Display web links"] : bool = true;
    show_stats["Display database statistics"] : bool = true;
    show_google["Display Google search"] : bool = true;
    }

    album["Album page"] {
    albumcoversize["Album cover size (pixels)"] : int = 170;
    show_shelfid["Display reference number"] : bool = true;
    show_label["Display label and number"] : bool = true;
    show_format["Display format"] : bool = true;

    show_custom2["Display custom field 2"] : bool = false;
    show_custom3["Display custom field 3"] : bool = false;

    show_engineer["Display engineer"] : bool = true;
    show_conductor["Display conductor"] : bool = true;
    show_soloist["Display soloist"] : bool = true;
    show_orchestra["Display orchestra"] : bool = true;
    }

    show_albumnotes["Display album notes"] : bool = true {
    show_cddbext["Display FreeDB notes"] : bool = true;
    show_comment["Display personal notes"] : bool = true;
    }

    show_albumlinks["Display album web links"] : bool = true;
    show_medialink["Display MP3 file links"] : bool = true;
    }

    track["Track page"] {
    show_lyrics["Display lyrics"] : bool = true;

    show_trackcredits["Display track credits"] : bool = true {
    show_trackcomposer["Display composer"] : bool = true;
    show_trackauthor["Display lyrics author"] : bool = true;
    show_trackperformer["Display performer"] : bool = true;
    show_trackproducer["Display producer"] : bool = true;
    show_trackengineer["Display engineer"] : bool = true;
    show_trackconductor["Display conductor"] : bool = true;
    show_tracksoloist["Display soloist"] : bool = true;
    show_trackorchestra["Display orchestra"] : bool = true;
    }

    show_tracknotes["Display track notes"] : bool = true {
    show_trackcddbext["Display FreeDB notes"] : bool = true;
    show_trackcomment["Display personal notes"] : bool = true;
    }
    }

    fonts["Fonts"] {
    // make sure all fonts are in "pt/pt facename" format
    textfont["Text font"] : font = "8pt/11pt Verdana";
    titlefont["Title font"] : font = "11pt/14pt Arial";
    }

    colors["Colors"] {
    bgcolor["Background color"] : color = #FFFFFF;
    textcolor["Text color"] : color = #000000;
    linkcolor["Link color"] : color = #000000;
    hotcolor["Hot link color"] : color = #3333FF;
    paracolor["Paragraph color"] : color = #993333;
    headcolor["Header color"] : color = #808080;
    headtextcolor["Header text color"] : color = #FFFFFF;
    newsbgcolor["New album background color"] : color = #EEEEEE;
    shadecolor["Shade color"] : color = #E2E2E2;
    framecolor["Frame background color"] : color = #CCCCCC;
    }

    But I can't see that this makes any sense. Maybe I'm overlooking something?

    Sorry, guys. Can't be of much help here.
