possible to modify GENRE dropdowns?

#1

Hey, I have tried altering some local files installed by Jaikoz in order to have GENRE dropdown entries that are specific to my needs. Nothing seemed to do anything.

Can you steer me to the right place where I should experiment with altering what populates the Genre dropdowns? Or is this machine-coded directly in the program exe?

Be assured, if I engage in risky hack behavior, I won’t come crying to you for problems that could result.

Its just I use a tight, personally crafted GENRE set, and the very long list that drops down has very little in common with it.

Sorry not possible currently, but it should be possible quite soon when I unencode the preferences files, something Ive wanted to do for a while.

Excellent, that will be a sweet improvement for my useage!

would love that feature too

Has this been implemented?

To fend off the nightmare of dealing with an ever-increasing # of “sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-…-genres” , I’ve a list of ~20 genres that I wish to use for my own uses.

That list – and ONLY that list – is what I’d like to see in the Genre dropdown.

If it’s “in here”, I haven’t found it yet.
