Display of music files

Help & Support
1

OK I need some simple help. I have a directory of MP3 files. I'd like Opus to display the track time as one of the columns (duration).

I have
Settings -> Preferences -> Folders -> Folder Formats -> Content Type Formats -> Music (double click)

I think awhile ago I set Opus9 to not scan directories to figure out what kind of display to use, so it's not recognizing these are all MP3 files and maybe that's why it's not displaying the track time for me. How do I change that?

content type is

you should enable/check that. if working it should show "Content Type"

content type detection => Prefs -> Folders -> Options: [X] "Enable Folder Content Type detection for [...]"

for individual or common folder content type detection view see FolderOptions ("Edit the appearance and settings of the current folder")
function:
if you have no toolbar button for that i would suggest to add this one => Customize -> Commands -> Category: View -> Folder Options (List)

<button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none" type="menu_button"> <label>Folder &amp;Options...</label> <tip>Edit the appearance and settings of the current folder</tip> <icon1>#format</icon1> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Properties FOLDEROPTIONS</instruction> </function> <button backcol="none" display="label" separate="yes" textcol="none"> <label>Folder Formats</label> <tip>Shows a list of your Favorite folder formats</tip> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Properties FORMATLIST</instruction> </function> </button> </button>

There's no need to post the code to things you can get by simply dragging a pre-made item out Customize -> Commands. :slight_smile:

(The items in there will have appropriate icons, labels & descriptions set to the user's chosen language and sometimes get updated when a new command becomes more appropriate.)
