Picture grid and name list settings in the Design tab

A tour can show every room in two ways: a grid of pictures, and a list of names. Both open in the Media window over the tour, and a visitor presses a picture or a name to go to that room. This page lists every setting of the two, in the order the Media window panel (Design tab > Media window) in the Design tab shows them, then the settings of the links to them in the side menu. What the window itself is and what opens it: The Media window.

Who can use it. The owner and, by default, an Admin collaborator can open the Design tab. Every plan has both. The Media window panel is in the Advanced view only; the Basic view does not list it. A tour on a Free plan that wears a Pro theme and has never been hosted shows visitors the free Default look.

When visitors get a change. The preview beside the panels shows it at once. Visitors get it after you click Save & Render, or after Publish changes when the tour uses Draft Workflows (My changes do not show for visitors).

Show icons as (room list link)

The room list link's part of the same choice.

Settings with no control

Enable room list

An older switch for the list. The panel has no field for it any more.

Where: Nowhere in the Design tab. The switch went when the room list became "there when a bar has its List All Rooms icon on". Default: off What it does: Nothing you set. The tour's data now says the list is in use when any bar has the icon on; the old value only decides the side menu's link for a tour saved before. What visitors see: Nothing from this value itself. Related: List All Rooms.

Show in the side menu

An older tick for the side menu's link to the list. The panel has no field for it any more.

Where: Nowhere in the Design tab. The link now has one switch of its own, List All Rooms in the side menu's Foot links. Default: on What it does: Only for a tour saved before the change: its link is there where both old settings were on. What visitors see: Nothing from this value itself. Related: List All Rooms.

Troubleshooting

There is no room list. No bar has its List All Rooms icon on. Switch it on in a bar's panel.

My picture grid ignores the number of thumbnails per row. On a screen 768 pixels wide or narrower the grid fits as many as it can. Group by categories also needs groups.

The Room Pictures button is missing from a bar. It is left out while Room Pictures is off in the side menu's Foot links.

I cannot find the settings. The Media window panel is in the Advanced view only.
