This has been requested over the years, less-so than Video support however. I believe that (some of) the developers have expressed an interest and/or plans to expand MM to Photos in the future. However that will likely be post 4.0, if it occurs as Video seems to be the main focus right now.

This too has been requested over the years. Pretty sure there's already an entry about this in the bug tracker, however I'm not sure of when it may have saw some activity last.

I guess I can see how this might be useful when it comes to move/deleting playlists but... the program just really isn't designed for this. The tree functions pretty much the same way as Windows Explorers tree does, and it doesn't allow for multi-selection either, if I'm not mistaken.

This seems like a no-brainer to me, and should already be present (unless it already is, I haven't messed with any builds past 1363 due to lack of time and what have you).

Currently, If I were to select "Rock" in the first column it will minimize the options in the following columns, But if I were to then skip ahead to the third column and choose the album "Abbey Road" for example, It will minimize the options in the following column, but not the untouched column before it, can that be changed? Or is that done purposely for reasons I'm not grasping?
I'm not positive I have a good grasp on what you're talking about but... it seems you're saying that selecting something in Column 3 in the browser doesn't filter the items in Column 2 (or 1), right? That's because it's designed to filter from left to right. If it were to work both ways, I think it would lead to some confusion and unwanted results (and I think it ended up working like this at some point during the 4.x development period and was complained about for the aforementioned reasons?)
Yes, that's exactly what I mean, I have my columns in the following order:
1.genre, 2.tracks, 3.Artists 4. rating
If I filtered it to rock with a 5 star rating, I would have to move the rating column to the 2nd slot in order to see which artists and tracks were five star rock. To me, It just makes logical sense to filter it both ways for the columns that "all" is selected. And it would improve the usefulness of the column browser.
And for it being confusing to some, Maybe make it an option, to filter left to right, or both ways.
