Long lists of tags in a skin

(1/3) > >>

mgpw4me@yahoo.com:
With very long lists of tags, I often find it difficult to find relevant tags.  Alphabetically sorting of the tags would make this easier.  It would also be nice to be able to specify the number of tags per line.  As long as I'm dreaming, it would also be nice to have the tags in a scrolling list box so they could be contained within a small area.

Dare I dream further...grids, could be used in a number of areas such as actors when control over the number of display columns is desirable.  It would be nice to be able to configure a grid to include data (say images of the cast) on a movie skin and have their name correctly associated (I've tried custom fields for this, but it gets ugly since the screen shot order isn't static and I end up with extra copies of the same images in the database).

I know the present formatting is the most efficient use of space, but it's like trying to find a specific word in paragraph.

---------------------------------

<grid collapsedlines=5 columns=4>
 <cell>
   <row>
     <column width="120">
       <human category="0" field="picture"/>
    </column>
   </row>
   <row>
     <column width="120">
       <human category="0" collapsedlines="15" field="name"/>
    </column>
   </row>
 </cell>
</grid>

I'll add it to my TODO list

You can. Take a look at the new skins manual: http://www.videodb.info/help/hlp_skins.html#attribs

I do not think it is a good idea  :-\

Yes, I have already thought about grids to display complex data structures, but it is pretty much work so I never got to implement it. Who knows maybe sometime later.

Hey look at that!  Documentation!  It looks great.

You know, pretty the last thing a programmer wants to do ;), so it delayed a couple of months :)

The documentation looks so great you're now going to have to keep it up-to-date. ;D
