I was trying to add a layout, but I have no layout directory in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser nor ~/.config/gmusicbrowser . I created the folder 'layouts' in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/ , placed a number of .layout files in there, and restarted gmusicbrowser. No results.

I am using gmusicbrowser 1.1.6

I looked at the Wiki and searched the forums to no avail, but feel I am missing something since so many people are having success. A point in the general direction would be awesome. Thanks.

Placing ".layout" files in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/ is correct.

Don't know what could have caused that not to work.
You said on irc that it now works, good.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but now everything seems to be working perfectly. It took a few restarts, so I am assuming I may have been running gmusicbrowser again before the previous instance had time to completely shut down, or perhaps there was some residual issues from my repo install of the earlier gmusicbrowser release and my current install, which is from the RPM on this site.

Either way, it works, and I completely wasted your time from implementing the billions of features people have requested ;)
