Xbmc: My Music - Can You Set A Default 'view' ?
« on: March 21, 2005, 04:19:00 PM »

Hi there,

I wondered if it was possible to set a default 'view' when a bookmarked SMB folder is opend?

i.e

I have a direct bookmark set to "My Music" on my PC, as such selecting 'My Music' on the XBMC immediately loads and displays the files from the computer as the default view - Great!

However, my file list is large. The default view to display the loaded folder is by <Files> i would really like to have it default to <Artists>

this will:
a) speed up the load time (About 10-20 seconds currently)
cool.gif Give a nice view of  the artists avail rather then the files.

Is this possible, or can it be done?

Appreciate your help.

Assuming you've scanned your music, just switch to Artists view.  XBMC remembers your preference. <
