Re: [Banshee-List] ANNOUNCE: Banshee 1.3.1

[Strider <chris vansteenlandt telenet be>]

Daniel,

I second your demand. The way the browser was proposed in the mockup was
really neat and I thought it would be already in the 1.2.1 release.

We would finally get rid of all the discussion in the thread you mentioned :
should we sort by album/album artist or album/track artist or
genre/album/artist or ...

The way the solution was proposed gave you all the options you needed : you
choose 3 sort criteria out of all the available attributes so you could have
alle possible combinations.

Aaron, you're listening ?

Any chance to include this for 1.4 ?

Regards,
Strider
