I've been updating some files to better quality lately and using stacks to transfer the tags.

Once the new files are imported I open recently imported, locate by artist, sort by name in the new window and then select two or more files for stacking. Trouble is as soon as I click stack, the window changes to include all instances of the artist 'name' and re-sorts itself.

Eg, I'm working with the artist Squeeze and I want to stack the tracks together temporarily, as soon as I do the search changes from artist=squeeze to anything=squeeze.
So, my smooth workflow is interrupted as I have to re-locate artist and re-sort by name each time I use stack.

Not that big a deal but could it be tidied up?

Thanks

Hi,

When I use 'locate artist' and then stack some of the files the search changes from 'artist' to 'all'

For instance locate artist on Al Green shows me 3 files. If I stack any of them the window now shows 54 files including Green Day, Weezer's Green album and Fiddler's Green by Tragically Hip etc.

Is there any way I can stop this happening?

Thanks.

Is it expected behaviour that when some files are sorted and then stacked in a specific search window that the window automatically changes from the specific search to a general one and the sort is lost?

Thanks.

I'm running out of ways to describe this in order to get a reply. Any suggestions?

Sorry, you missed a day. Now you'll have to start all over again.

I haven't tried to recreate your experience, but it seems to have to do with using a search to filter results—and then doing something that requires a refresh. I would avoid the problem by using a Panes view and directly selecting the artist. I might still use search to find the artist, but I would then select them in the pane and clear the search.

Thanks for taking the time to reply 

Using panes to find the artist rather than search for the artist from Recently Imported certainly works better for my purposes. Still wondering whether a search and sort in a view should persist till you've finished with it by maybe navigating away or clearing the search box.

Cheers.
