How lollypop handles Artist view
Here's how Lollypop handles artist view, which I quite like. It's a flat list with automatically downloaded art for each artist. Also, I can see three levels of navigation: a list of genres, then a list of artists in that genre, then finally that artist's genres. It's really nice and very compact; as you can see, all three levels of navigation are visible for a window that's not very wide.
Thanks for your report. I have tried Lollypop (there is also the design work done by Andrew Lake) and saw an artist image made of up to 1 album cover and genre image is made of up to 4 albums cover. This is quite similar to the design at the origin of Elisa. This should probably be a good fallback for the case where no artist image exists. I agree - something needs to be done here. The album view looks great, but that artist view...uhm...pretty jarring! AmaroK had Wikipedia integration as an option...having such a thing would also provide the hooks to use the default artist picture as the default in Elisa, in addition to being a really nice plugin for those who want some more detail on their "now playing" view.* Hopefully something can be decided soon - even if the only option is to force no icons for artists; only a list view until a proper solution can be found :) * See "Wikipedia integration" section at https://community.kde.org/Amarok/Archives/Amarokfeatures for context and example Yeah, that would be nice. How about an interim fallback to the picture in the artist's folder? Similar to fallbacks for album art for a song? *** Bug 434350 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 434698 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit e6b0c7215a63396a147ecfc58f176d508bc84ef8 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Stefan Vukanović. Committed on 15/08/2022 at 15:31. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Use up to four latest album or track covers as artist cover When retrieving artist data, find up to four latest album or track covers and display them as the artist's cover in a grid layout. If four covers can't be found, display only the latest one. This should improve the UX of the Artists view, which right now is a sea of identical icons.
