Sorry to continue to be a pest about this, but that doesn't work. Here's what I have when I do Customize view:
Current view:
Artist (no compilations)
Overview: not checked
No tracks: checked
Options:
Album label format (artist folder): %T{(%Y)}{:: %b}
Album label format (other folder): {%a ::}%T{(%Y)}
Use artist sort name in labels: unchecked
Single click opens topic: checked
Show tooltips: checked
In place editing: checked
Sort order: Title, artist
And the sort order of the folders is still artist last name, artist first name (as is the display name)
Do we need to be able to edit the primary name then?
I don't think you can do this except when you edit the property for the album. Primary name is simply the name that appears in the Artist box on the general tab. You can't edit it in the artist profile and I haven't found any place other than the album properties where it can be done.
It could be implemented though, couldn't it?
That would lose the connection to the cd entry; might as well just change it in album properties. And then there is the entanglement of the Other spellings entries. There is a reason you can't edit the primary name by itself and that is because in OCD it is a kind of index.
Ah well, never mind
Still a super piece of software though.
Let's see what this promised revamp brings
Can anyone tell me if this will be the answer I'm looking for?
