This ability, present in Standard View (right click menu on media files), would be useful also in Theater View, when playing a session of mixed artists and albums in a way that all the tracks of the artist currently playing could be quickly found. This feature could be included under "more", in the Playing Now menu of Theater View.

As explained here, this can done using IsPlaying() and IsInPlayingNow() expressions. In this post, I explain how I use the technique in my Theatre View configuration. In short, I provide a menu that presents all the tracks of the album or the artist or similar artists of whatever is currently playing.

Thank You, Rick.ca. Actually, I searched through the forum before posting but I didn't find this (maybe wrong keywords).
Your suggested expressions will definetelly do the trick; I will play a little to see if I can get through.
