ok you've almost solved my problem. how do i get it so that the icon text expands instead of cutting out the middle so i don't have a screen full of "Artist Na...bum Title" instead of "Artist Name - Album Title"


this on the other hand is definitely wrong unless i'm actually the guy from Memento because i've hated this for a very long time and there's this one specific album that's always shown expanded no matter how many times i close it


if people get URLs they can get file system paths

adjust grid spacing to taste

you are apparently the guy from memento

they dont, thats why url bars are really just search bars now.

the widest setting still cuts off more than half the name in most of the albums. is this just a dumb artificial limitation or am i missing something

Stux posted:

this definitely happens man. my guess as to why is that it's related to how i usually open up my music files in a network share with read-only access, but some time in the past i accidentally opened it with read/write access and finder shat those dumb little metadata files everywhere, and one of them is telling finder to always expand certain folders

subfolders in list are expanded or minimised based on how u left them. they arent arbitrary, u just keep leaving them open and then wonder why they're still open later.

why the gently caress should i have to manually clean up poo poo like that? i eventually just set up a cron job to delete all .ds_store files every night because i never actually want any of the state persisted

Stux posted:

because a path bar is clunky and redundant for 99% of users and hitting cmd shift g and typing isnt exactly slower than clicking on the path bar instead.

so leave it off by default

oh wait, it's os x so we can't have any options ever
