Hello,

I am migrating to new hardware and trying to recreate my gmusicbrowser configuration.  I have been using the "Simple with Big Cover" layout by Piotr.  However, upon moving to my new computer, the album covers are showing up about half of the size they should be on this layout.  I made sure the layout dotfile was identical on each computer.  The other gmusicbrowser settings seem to be identical as well.  The album cover just shows up way too small (and these are the same IDv3 tag images I have on my old hardware).  Any ideas for why these images might be showing up so small or how I can adjust them?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply :-)

That definitely solves the issue of applying a custom layout.  The only caveat was that the layouts subdirectory doesn't seem to exist by default, so I just created it and placed the .layout file in it and everything worked splendid.

As far as having to manually set the ID3 cover, a little bit tedious but definitely not a deal breaker :-) This will hold me over just fine until v1.1.x

Thanks again!

Hi,

I am a Linux/GMusicBrowser newbie.  I am excited to have stumbled upon this very nice looking music player with what I gather to be a very active lead developer :-) However, I am having a few issues configuring the player to my liking and I can't seem to find the necessary info on the site...

My end goal is to apply one of the custom contributed layouts: http://gmusicbrowser.org/contrib.html (one that really emphasizes the cover art).  However, I have 2 problems:

1.) The instructions say to place the custom layout in ~/.gmusicbrowser/layouts/ .  However, I don't have a .gmusicbrowser folder in my home directory.  I also can't seem to find a layouts folder anywhere on my machine.  If I run the following command from my home directory, I only see the following folders:

find . | grep gmusicbrowser

./.config/gmusicbrowser
./.config/gmusicbrowser/tags.bak
./.config/gmusicbrowser/tags.bak.20100522
./.config/gmusicbrowser/tags
./.config/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser.fifo

2.) Let's assume #1 gets resolved.  I'm still worried that GMusicBrowser is not picking up the album art from my ID3 tags.  My current player window layout is "Playlist, Library, & Context" and it looks like there is a spot where the album cover should be coming up and its not.  Does the application not look at the ID3 embedded art by default?

Thanks!
