Description Nate Graham 2018-04-05 21:59:12 UTC
Elisa nightly Flatpak build from kdeapps repo on Kubuntu 17.10

Elisa's sidebar allows the top-level sorting to be Artist, Album, or Track. But there's no Genre option. It would be nice to have one, and drilling down into a Genre would reveal individual artists as the next level of navigation

We have that on the (long) todo list, so patches welcome :)
A question that I wondered about before, which you partly answered already:
you would expect to browse the genre, then show all artists meeting the requriments, then go to their albums and finally display the album tracks?

Flawless Lollypop genre view

Probably best if it's customizable, but my personal preference is Genre list > artist list > view that displays all that artist's albums. Basically exactly the way Lollypop does it (see attached).

Fantastic. :)
Comment 5 Matthieu Gallien 2018-05-31 20:14:14 UTC
There is an implementation more or less complete in the branch genericModel .
Navigation is like this:
All Genres -> All Artists with at least a track of the selected genre -> All Albums of this artist -> All tracks of the album .
I plan to continue to extend this for the next release. For the 0.2, feature freeze starts on 02 of June . I will be unable to add many more things before the date limit.

I forgot to close the bug report when support for browsing by genre has been added. The first version having proper support is v0.1.80 .

Yaay! Loving it. :)
