artist page in version 6

[JohnsonbI4]

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:

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

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