Question About Media Library vs. Playing Now
« on: December 12, 2003, 09:54:23 am »

Hi All,

This may be a very stupid question, however it's something that's always bugged me.

I'm often adding music to playing now by right clicking a song in my media library.  Then I go into the playing now view to delete songs that i don't want to play later on.  However upon returning to my media library view, I am placed at the beginning of my list, as opposed to where I was before I switched to playing now.
Is there anyway to make it so that when I switch back to playing now I go back to the song that was highlighted when I left?

For example if I select a Stevie Ray Vaughan song and add to playing now from my media library, then go to playing now and delete a song that is scheduled to come on after this new song, I want to be able to go back to my media library and be back where the Stevie Ray Vaughan song was, not be at the beginning of my list at 10,000 Maniacs (the list is alphabetically sorted by artist.)

Thanks for any tips.
- Michael

Use the back button (mouse, keyboard shortcut, toolbar button) and MC will remember everything.

I tried using the back button, but it still brings me to the top of my media library, instead of the highlighted song where i was before i went to playing now.

Maybe this isn't the best time to be exploring this becuase I'm using v.10.  It has just always been something that i've wished i could fix.

Any other suggestions?

Looks like a bug in 10.

The panes are saving their states, but the file list isn't scrolling properly.

Hopefully it'll be a quick fix.

Ok.  thanks for the quick response.   I never knew about the back button.  I just added it in today after I read your comments.

I'll wait for future builds to test this.

Very much appreciated.

Lots of people don't know that back remembers stuff in MC.

We've toyed with always rememembering (whether you use back or not), but we're afraid it'd be more confusing than helpful.

IE doesn't rememeber where it was either unless 'Back' is used.
