\subsection{PictureFlow}
\screenshot{plugins/images/ss-pictureflow}{PictureFlow}{img:pictureflow}
PictureFlow is a visual browser for your albums.  After you've selected something to play,
PictureFlow will continue running by default, or can optionally show the WPS. Using
the context menu, songs can be added to the dynamic playlist or other playlists directly
from PictureFlow (see \reference{ref:playingnext_submenu}).
Various metadata, such as format, length or year of an album or its songs can also be
displayed.


\subsubsection{Sort Options}
Albums can be sorted by:

\begin{itemize}
    \item Name
    \item Year
    \item Album Artist + Name
    \item Album Artist + Year
\end{itemize}

\subsubsection{Requirements}
PictureFlow uses both the album art (see \reference{ref:album_art}) and
database (see \reference{ref:database}) features of Rockbox.
These need to be working correctly before PictureFlow can be used.
\textbf{PictureFlow does not support embedded album art.}

\opt{tc_ramcache}{\note{It is strongly recommended you enable the database's "Load to RAM" feature
(and restart your player afterwards)! See \reference{ref:databasemenu}. This will \textbf{vastly} speed up
building the album index as well as loading of track titles when browsing albums.}}

\opt{dircache}{\note{Enabling the disk's directory cache – see \reference{ref:dircache} – noticeably
reduces the time it takes for cover art to be displayed.}}


  \begin{itemize}
    \item PictureFlow needs to build an album index the first time it's launched
    (Cancel/Quit by pressing \ActionStdCancel{} or \ActionStdMenu{}) and then writes an album art cache to disk.
    During the latter (5th step), press any button to skip past the progress bar screen and
    to start browsing immediately. Processing of album art will continue in the
    background. An indicator in the screen corner shows you the completed percentage.
    When the cache is being built, the UI may be slow to react to your input.
    For optimal performance, wait for processing to complete.
    \item Each time you update your player's database, you should also update the cache
    in PictureFlow.
    \item PictureFlow will accept album art larger than the dimensions of the
    screen, but the larger the dimensions, the longer they will take to scale.
  \end{itemize}
