Yes, Mike, you are missing something. You must put on your "thinking" cap to figure it out.

I want to share settings/images with other users. How do I do this?

Template Support - Share your images and List Color/Font Settings

Version 2.0.0.3 may have appeared to some to be a "minimal" release but the new features enable users to do some powerful things not available in other releases such as sharing settings with other users. One can use the 'Copy From..." on the 'Advanced List Options' to copy Color/Font settings from one list to another very easily. This feature empowers a user such that he/she may create an 'Empty' List for use as a template, copy all color settings using 'Copy From...' and then export the 'Empty' list using the XML export capability (NOTE: CSV export does not save List Settings, only List Data) to share color settings with other users. Remember that you also must copy all image (*.BMPs) in the respective "Override" folder(s).

We don't have a Global Sort-All button. My items are not sorted correctly, Why?

Tips on Sorting Discs/Artists within a List

There is no Global Sort Button currently available within SuperNudelist. Sorting must be done manually at each level - List and Artist. Tracks for a Disc are sorted automatically by number.

For both Artists and Discs, sorting is determined by the text in the following entries.

SortAsName (Only used if not empty/blank)
Name

Users typically specify a Name such as 'The Beatles' but a SortAsName of 'Beatles, The'. This forces the Artist/Disc to be sorted by 'B' instead of 'T'.

Once you have specified SortAsName for each item that is not sorted appropriately, you must manually click 'Sort' or check the 'Keep Sorted' box at each level - List or Artist.

If you have a large number of discs this can be very time consuming. However, there is a workaround but it does require that you download and install Version 2.0.0.3.

1. Export each list to a CSV file choosing to export all items in columns 1-11.

2. Use MS Excel or some other utility to sort/edit the CSV file as you see fit.

3. Use the new 'destructive' import functionality of Version 2.0.0.3 to reimport your edited CSV file. Any sorting you would like to see must be done prior to importing data.

If you need more info on 'destructive' import functionality. Read the functional release notes for Version 2.0.0.3.
