| Summary | 0006575: Different content Types should have different Properties window layouts | ||||
| Description | Depending on the Type of a file, the Properties window should be optimized to display the relevant fields (Types refers to: Music, Classical Music, Video, Music Video, TV, Podcast, Audiobook). Note: aside from the Properties layouts, other File-specific optimizations include Player rules (0006572) and Summary format (0006571). Open Issues not yet addressed by the spec: i) The proposal doesn't currently address mapping of Type-specific metadata to tag formats (i.e. which tags will be used). This needs to be specified. We also need some sort of specification outlining which tags are relevant for each format (the current spec only defines 'basic' tags). ii) The proposal assumes that the second 'Details' panel will allow the user to configure whatever fields are relevant using a new UI by dynamically populating a grid control with fields relevant/taggable for the content Type in question (alternatively, the details screen will need to be modified / laid out for each content Type). See attached images for a proposal of how this can be laid out. General comments: - In the Properties dialog, small fonts for field descriptors placed above fields, in order to avoid the currently confusing layout in which some fields have descriptors below the fields. - In the Properties dialog, the Type field should be superior to the tabs because changes to it will trigger changes to the tabs and to the layout of the dialog (e.g. Switching from Type=Music to Type=Video would get rid of the Virtual CD tab). The attached graphics show a proposed layout, but if it is too much work to position the dropdown at the level of the tabs, we'll have to incorporate it below the tabs (e.g. Top-right corner of the 'Basic' tab). | ||||
