Title: Old bug when drilling down
Post by: JONCAT on September 01, 2009, 07:26:56 pm

In MC14 I have views with 3 fields.

Style
Custom Artist
Album

If I start in Custom Artist or Album with Tiles, when I drill down I have to pass through the topmost field which makes no sense to me.

So if I
m looking at Album Tiles and double-click to bring up the file menu, I am shown a Custom Artist Tile and have to drill through that back to Albums.

I have seen this in MC13 at times. I haven't been using MC much but this jumped out as a major anomaly; I plan to post in the bug thread unless this happens to be by design.

It sounds like you might have 'Filter in both directions' selected in Customize View > Advanced.

That option makes it so that the view allows filtering on any category after picking any other category.  It's useful when there's no hierarchy, like People/Places/Events.  It's not good when there is a hierarchy like Genre/Artist/Album.
