Ok, so now I get it! Now I get how you the whole navigation thing is multi-directional. I like it.
Thing is, I was looking for a way to do that, and even then it took me a while. I cant see how a new user would get how it works. I was always clicking on one tile and then "files", or, clicking on the drop-down menu each time, which in essance was resetting the filtering.
At the moment, it's easy to remember to select just the tiles you want while you are deciding what to play, but (and this is my biggest criticism of the new system) it's too easy to forget the select all of the tiles in view when you are ready to click on "files". I constantly just select one of the tiles and then click "files" (thinking that everything in view will be shown) only to be surprised and bewildered to see just a small bunch of files in front of me.
I think it would be more intuitive if the tiles didnt have links for each of the "view items". Instead, after selecting one or more tiles, a second drop down menu should appear along the top, which you use to go the next level in, and the same again when you make a new selection. So in essence, those "breadcrumbs" would each be drop down menus.
Any reason why that wouldnt work?
Also, in my last post (on page 2 of this thread) I put up a screen shot showing that the button to the left of the drop down menu is just an exclamation mark for me. I still dont really know what this button is supposed to do, and is it an exclamation mark for everyone else too?
Thanks,
Bri
