Today's update removed the option for me to select a custom layout, saved in /home/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts

The option to have GMB look like other players is great and all that, but i'd really prefer to have my custom layout back, please.

I don't see what change could have caused that, can you be more specific ?

in case you're using my ppa, i cleaned up the default layouts a few days ago after evaluating them since i think it's better to ship less but nicer layouts :)

i don't see how that could affect your custom layout selection though, are you sure you're not just missing the other default layouts?

If you maintain the shimmer PPA, then yes.
I suppose i should really have mentioned that in my original post...

The layout options i have are:

make it look like>
exaile
quodlibet
rhythmbox
rhythmbox compact
minimal
netbook
shimmer
small player
with queue
with search
with tabbedlists

And that's all.

yes, i reduced the layouts to these, if you edited a layout in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts then i'm afraid it's gone.
if your layout is in /home/$USER/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/ then it should in fact show up in the list.

My custom layout is in /home/$USER/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/custom2.layout but doesn't show up.

Is the file completely gone? 

The other issue is that it could have "lost" it's [Title] at the top and would not show up.

I am sure that no update removed a file from /home/$USER/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/

The file is still there, as are it's contents:

HPfp0 = _HPfp1 _HPfp2
HPBottom = VBLeft _VPRight

it occurs to me that it may be that my custom layout is based on a layout no longer included with GMB/shimmer.

Does anyone have the file/data for the layout; Playlist, Library & Context?

hi, sorry for the inconvenience, you can find the layout here: https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/blob/master/layouts

indeed it's problematic for layouts that are based on others, possibly the "classic" gmusicbrowser layouts will return in a submenu/category, but i have yet to decide if/how.

You could also use a tool like Meld Diff to append the old into the new... Cumbersome, but effective..

I would also recommend that each layout be parsed from the master layout into individual files so that ppl could download these for the layouts directory...  I could do this if anyone agrees...

Thanks :)
That seems to have solved the not-listed problem, but now the layout is completely wrong....

i updated the ppa to version 1.1.6ppa6 yesterday and now the original layouts are included again, so your original configuration should work again.
