C again....
But it would be good to have the "active" filters displyed on screen. With maybe a back / clear button etc....
The system sends a "Filter" message to the skin, so the skin can change an icon to indicate that a filter is applied (just as the default skin does when credits are inserted), but as far as displaying which filters are applied will have to wait until custom displays are available in a later version. A button to clear the filters will be available but optional, as that option will be available from the filter popup as well.
I was tinkering in the skin setup last night and I also created a "titlestrip grid", so rather than specify every single titlestrip, you just specify the starting location, number of rows, number of columns, space between rows and columns, and the order in which you want the strips read. You can have multiple groups of grids, or still specify individual strips. This should make skin development much easier: use the blank background, throw up a grid, take a screenshot, and then design your background art against that.
Hmmm - may have to start worrying about all my mp3's lacking anything apart from artist - title tag info.....
