Yes, but i think the two & fro would become an issue. Especially if u maximise the view by shifting the grabber to the extreme left. I do this often if there are 3 or more panes in view.
are you saying you can expand the view scheme across the whole page? at present i can only drag the grabber so far left.....the tree view is always showing....maybe a 1/5 of the screen. so the list of my view schemes is always visible. one click to reset all of the columns in a view scheme seems like the height of simplicity to me
Or instead of having to keep 'all' in view, just click the column header.
That could work, wonder what others think.
at the moment when you click on the column header you get the option to 'edit view scheme', but this could be limited to a right click, and then reseting column to 'all' could be assigned to the left click.
Think we need some more examples where this "bidirectional" view would be better than the usual way of looking at things, showing results in fewer clicks.
here's one example:
column 1: genre - the main genre of the music,
e.g. 'reggae', 'funk', etc.....
column 2: sub genre - more specific genre info, e.g. different types of reggae.....
now some subgenres may apply to different genres. e.g. studio one, may have different genres: reggae, dub, ska, etc.
if the view schemes were set up so that whatever column you clicked in first was the 'master column', then if i selected 'studio one' in column 2 then all of the genres for this would show in column 1. now if column 2 is the master column when i click on 'dub' in column 1 i will just get studio one dub!
i am aware that i could do this the other way round as things are in MC is at present (i.e. select 'dub' in column 1 and 'studio one' in column 2), but would like to be able to select both ways, so that if i am listening to 'studio one reggae' i can then switch to 'studio one dub' without having to go back and select 'dub' as the 'main genre' and 'studio one' as the subgenre.
i hope this is clear. this is not strictly bidirectional. maybe view schemes could be set up so that the order in which you click in the columns is the order in which the tree works (if you get what i mean). a single click on the name of the view scheme in the tree view on the left could then reset it to show all. a single click on the column header to reset that column to 'all' may also be a useful addition....

click 'studio one'. if the view scheme was bidirectional then in column one i would get all of trghe
