Show Artist with Albums broken
Last modified: 2008-04-24 17:52:32 UTC
It appears that you can no longer disable the 'Show Artist with Albums' option. Artists are always shown, no matter the state of this setting. The 'Show Year with Albums' option works as expected. Seen in Default, Classic and Fishbone skins.
Created attachment 3288 [details] seems ok here
What you are seeing is probably the result of your sorting options. If the contributor.namesort is the first sorting option (Artist) then you get the artist in the listing automatically. See Slim::Schema::Album, line 119.
Ah, I see... It must be because I have artist as the first part of the Sort By. And when year is first, then the year is always shown. Is that the intended behavior? Seems that sorting by primary contributor can still be done without the overhead of retrieving the artist list for display.
clearly is intended. It's been in the code this way at least two years (feel free to track back further if you wish to see the log comments)
