Only entire star rating

Only entire star rating
I really would like to switch off the half star rating.
1. 10 different rating-levels is too much in my mind
2. 5 stars are standart in all mp3-players
3. the conversion from half stars makes only problems
I know this is an old problem. Some users desire half stars, some not. So i would like to can switch in the options Library - Appereance.
What do you think?
Regards

Re: Only entire star rating
well it should be possible to make a option to check if you want a half star rating or not.
it was simple enough for the mp3 player developers to turn off the standard half star rating on their players.

Re: Only entire star rating
I don't know why this request is not taken seriously,
If you like like half stars it doesn't affect you, I'd just like the option to turn them off.
I agree with the reasons given, here's another
4. Rating with the mouse has to be too precise.

Yeeeeah, I hate this, I often click half-stars by mistake, ugh.I agree with the reasons given, here's another

Re: Only entire star rating
I don't use half stars either, but I'm not too bothered with the imprecise rating. You can always use the drop down.
Furthermore there would be a big issue as to what to do if a half star rating track would be imported in the Library.

Show'em! Normaly.
Don't like them? Change them.
Need them? Switch them on.
The off setting only hides the half star menu items
and the Rating treenode only shows them if the exist, like Genres.
You don't have to round them, hide them or anything, just don't let me set them manually.

Re: Only entire star rating
I agree that the rating node should only show used ratings.

Re: Only entire star rating
hmmm, the Ratings node is consistent with the Classification node in that it shows all values. I'd still prefer only used values to be shown.

Re: Only entire star rating
Thinking of this again.
I changed my mind.
Cause some users drag and drop their selections onto the ratings nodes to apply ratings.
So they might want all ratings to show even if they have no tracks currently rated with that value.

If half stars were optional, when off, The integer stars can be always shown but half stars only if they are used; custom classifications are only shown if used.Lowlander wrote:hmmm, the Ratings node is consistent with the Classification node in that it shows all values.

They would only rate them (with half stars) without dragging the first time.Dreadlau wrote:Cause some users drag and drop their selections onto the ratings nodes to apply ratings.

Re: Only entire star rating
you know of course that big berny's auto rate system has a custom option where you set up what you like.
and he allows you to set up half stars if you want them. just add a percentage of your songs to get them in his settings
if you don't then put a big fat zero for the percentage of songs to get half stars.
so i don't see the trouble.? its already able to be turned on or off.
which means i was right in my first post that it should be simple in script.

I don't think what is being requested can be implemented via script.
And don't know what auto rating has got to do with it.

Re: Only entire star rating
link to it? its in the help with addons room in the all script's thread.
auto rating just makes the ratings according to your play counts and your settings in that custom setting.
so they are your ratings you have the option in his program to keep the manual ratings if you want to change one
to a rate that is different then what is in the settings. so there is no trouble in keeping special rates for certain songs.
the auto rate script from big berny just gets the mass of work out of your way so you can pick which you want when ever
you want to change your mind on the song. its great for huge librarys.
don't get the one from diddeleedoo he made it for mm 2 and it does not work anymore he is not adjusting it either.
so big bernys is the one to use for auto rating.
