Before I start a skin, can RR do this?

**wilsonj** · 12-30-2005, 05:00 PM

Before I invest my time in learning how to skin RR I want to know if one of my main objects is actually possible.

In the media (video and audio) screen I want to have two columns. One on the left that shows folders, one on the right that shows the files in the folder that is selected. eg album- songs

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Jamie

why's it no? Cant he just alter the audio_browse.skin?

What?? No?? Not really the answer I was hoping for.

OK, I don't usually use winamp on my PC. But playing around with it I can make it do basically what I want.

Am I correct in assuming if it can be done in winamp it can be done in RR? As RR just displays the info from the desired winamp window??

^ not entirely.

Search for "directory browsing", it's probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.

I thought thats what he's looking for. Click the directory, click load.. and the contents of that directory show up on the right column.

Hmm, that's maybe what he wants. I'm not sure.

the real answer is yes and no

you can have a dir list on one side and the playlist (currently loaded playlist) on the other side. But as you browse through the dir list, the playlist will not update to the currently browsed dir untill you actually load that dir as the playlist.
It dosent work like frodoplayer

i miss that feature. IMO frodo still has the fastest method of browseing & loading media. If the two methods of media browseing were combined (frodo&RR) it would cover every possible way to control your media.
