Re: Asset Control Discussions
Hi,
here would be my suggestions for improvement (browse by folder/file):
1. A minimize button
2. A click should not add a file to the playlist, a dblclick should do that. Because I would
like to select more than 1 item in the left list (explorer-like with shift and ctrl), and send
all selected files to the playlist.
3. I would like to see the windows-startbar at the bottom, always! And if I don't want to
see it, I would configure it, instead of Asset Control.
4. Show the correct items in the playlist created by other programs, like KinskyDesktop. It
would make it easier to switch to AssetControl.
(2 and 3 per option, for others may want it another way).
Another thing is the basic idea: How to browse at all.
The old way, with CDs it was like this:
My CDs are sorted :
Classical/Non-Classical
Classical; In the next level, by composer,
then by workgroup (eg. Sinfonies) or by work (op. 80),
then by Conductor (including year of the recording)
and at last the music itself.
Non-Classical
different criteria,
like in Pop from A to Z by Artist, then by album
Soundtracks by the name of the film (= album), not by the artist
Music-to-schmuse-by by Genre
and so on.
This can only be done by arranging the files in folders, and by browsing
by folders.
Browsing by artist, album artist, album, compilation, etc. will not work.
This is also, why a lot of people have a lot of problems, just look at what the
people write in the forums for asset, twonky, linn etc.
So I think, browsing by folder, which seems to be mainly a server problem,
has to be solved in the best way, and Asset Server and Asset Control have to
give the best support for this.
