Ctrl+F and locate don't jump views now if you're at the library. This was one of the changes when deemphasizing an all media view.
There's a problem with this, though: If I am viewing all albums by, say Iggy Pop, and right-click on 'Lust for Life', which appears on the album 'Trainspotting' and choose 'Locate Album', all that happens is a lot of CPU usage, some entries disappear from my panes, and 'Album: Trainspotting' appears in the search bar; there's no Locating going on at all...
I appreciate that you've made some changes that won't be unmade, but couldn't the 'Locate' function work a little better?
The old way meant that in my example above, when I chose 'Locate Album', I was brought to whatever the root of the Media Mode was. That meant that when I was finished there, all I had to do was hit 'Back', and I got back to where I was,
with my original filter selections in place. Now, after 'locating' the album and doing whatever I needed to, I have to click in the searchbar, delete the enty there, and then scroll and filter through the panes to get back to where I was.
I don't know about other people, but this is something I use a lot, and it's very complicated now - couldn't we have the old jump-to-root-view back? It seems logical that if you want to locate something, you will end up in a different place to where you are, and it also seems logical that that place would be at the root of the library (where else would it be?). If necessary, the entry in the context menu could be worded differently so that it reflected what was going to happen; e.g., 'Locate Album in "Audio"' - the Medium could change for the file-type so that it read 'Locate Album in "Images"', etc.
