Version: 2.1 beta2 (using KDE 4.2.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I very much liked the option in Amarok 1.x to view the collection in the so-called "flat-view" mode. For music files not properly tagged this mode was superior to the album/artist, etc. modes for searching and managing. Please implement this small feature in version 2 series of Amarok, too. Thank you!
It's not a small feature. At least it's not a small job to implement. But yes, it would be nice.
This is already started in Amarok 2.2 :) Subscribing Maximilian so he can close it once done.
Nice to hear that :)
Huh? Nobody is working on that in 2.2 as ar as I know. Should be relatively simple to implement though, it's simply a table view which shows one track per row. I'm not quite sure why Bart thinks that it's hard to do.
We were mixing up "flat mode" and "unified mode" (not grouped per collection) which is what Maxximilian has been working on. The flat view is on my, and probably others TODO list, but so are other higher priority things....
This was mentioned in the comments to the 2.6 release as must requirement for some users. Maybe we should really have a look at that. Also we might want to get rid of the unified mode as this is technically unsound implemented currently and frankly I don't see the usecase.

I think both unified and flat mode can be decently implemented using QtGroupingProxy Would allow the basic model to be kept very performance optimized and simple. Flat mode is easy to do with a filter proxy.
