Title: Default library view at Startup
Post by: park on April 15, 2006, 08:08:05 am
Hi,
This is difficult to explain so I'll just give an example:
In library view start from "Genres", choose a genre and then click "View Artists".
Close MC.
Open MC. You start in "Artists".

I think that MC should start in "X Genre's Artists" (the absolute previous state of library view), or the orignal root of the navigation path from last time ("Genres"). Personally, I prefer the latter.

I noticed that this isnt just happening at startup. If you start go deeper into library view and then click to a playlist and then click back to the viewscheme, then you end up in the last visited library grouping, but without the previously filtered navigation (breadcrumbs).

ie. I click on
Genres>Animation>South Park>Series 6
then leave the viewscheme, visit a playlist, and then come back to find myself in "Series", which is a pretty useless place to begin my browsing.

This always makes me think "Hey, why am i starting in this view?" It's inevitably one of the fields which has most entries (like "album" etc.) and the opposite of how i normally browse (from more general categories, like "genre").

It's a bug that it's saving a breadcumb level as the last visited level.

As an aside, try the back button (mouse, backspace, on the header bar, etc. to preserve everything about the view state)
