Images for Genres

Audiosoft, i just found 30 nice images: HERE
I hope you could add a new HTML page or a Carousel/Shelf3D for Genres in EJukebox? Thanks.

Extract the Attached .zip so the .png's reside in C:EJukeboxGenreFlow
Run EJukebox v5.54 (on forum under latest updates) or newer
Click the Genre button at the top
see the Shelf3D Genres
when clicked an open-ended search is performed on the FILENAME.png term

it is customizable. you can put whatever .png's in the folder you want and name them your searchterm.png

regarding the currently attached zip:
most of the C:EJukeboxGenreFlow???.png's still need renamed to a search term. currently only the first few in the zip are named as their open-ended search term. if anyone can help by renaming the rest of them i would appreciate it.

Wow nice work Audiosoft! it works quite good.
However if you could make so, when a genre is picked in the shelf3d, the songlist results respect the genre menu option "only show matching songs"?

Thanks a lot.


Here is the full renaming: (with the images at their original ratio)

Thank you for the names Pirk :D
The original aspect is tricky...the reflections do not align right with your PNGs. Attached is a compromise where reflections work. png's use their original top and width...it just stretches the height to the bottom instead of the entire height like in my original GenreFlow.zip.

for that would need to figure out a way to have a search type written in the filename.png. right now it searches like the virtual keyboard Search on all fields. that way it is flexible to any SEARCHTERM.png. you can put years 197? = 197.png or have ?acoustic? = Acoustic.png and it searches all fields (including songtitle) and not just genre. it doesn't 'show all matching songs by artist' unless the term is in the artist name. the only thing is...when you click Rock and it shows all Symphonic Rock, Classic Rock etc - i don't know if that is a good or bad thing?

Just found another set of genre images: HERE
These one are originally square and high res!

Here is the zip with 40 PNGs: (maybe the Genreflow could accept jpeg images too!)

RE: when you click Rock and it shows all Symphonic Rock, Classic Rock etc - i don't know if that is a good or bad thing?
it depends.. for me it's rather a bad thing because i have a large collection, but for the smallest ones probably it's a good thing.
I don't like a "multi-fields" search when i decided to list my titles genre by genre. but i admit the full search can be useful too, if you manage to filter the lists according to your desires!
