1248 Library node effect inconsistency [5693]

Post by chrisjj »

Clicking on one of the following nodes fills the Track List with all tracks:

* Library, Title, Artist & Album Artist, Composer, Album, Genre, Year, Rating

but clicking one of these shows no tracks:

* Location, Classification

Is this intentional? If so, what's the design intent, I wonder?

Tracked at http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5693

Confirmed fixed in 1304.

Location: All subnodes only display information within the specific directory (i.e. not recursive) so we thought that the root node shouldn't be recursive as well. I can see your point as well though. Thoughts?

Classification: can't sort by it since this is actually a set of four different fields.

Location differs from subnodes in that it cannot directly contain tracks, so I think it is fine (as well as desirable) for it to show all.

EDIT:... particularly at it has no All sub-node!

MM can sort by four fields :)
