[chrisjj]

How may I determine which collection is the Current Collection referred to by the Quick Search bar here:



Thanks.

Thanks NH. If the answer is "There's no way", I suggest this be noted in the Mantis report.

I thought it was clear from the notes in the ticket.

When 'Current Collection' is selected as the Search type, it would be preferable that the Search text box show the name of the Collection to be searched in greyed out text rather than 'Current Collection'. (e.g. if the user switches to the Video node, then 'Video' would display).

It is not. The notes in the ticket suggest merely the Search text box does not show the name of the Collection

Can you or anyone confirm nowhere shows the current collection name?

When you're looking at the node created by the search there's no way to tell what library it's being generated from.

When you're entering in the search criteria from the main window you can see the active library in the tabs across the top - before the search is submitted.

The "Current collection" is whichever collection you are currently browsing.

Using 4.1 it uses the Collection name instead of "Current Collection" both in the search box (greyed out) and the drop-down.

I believe that in certain tree nodes like Now Playing and Playlists the search scope is Entire Library when Current Collection is selected as no Collection is actually selected. This means that in those nodes it may show a Collection name or Current Collection as option (former in my case on 4.1), but the scope is Entire Library. I believe this was already raised a long time ago.

Aha, thanks. Do you have a Mantis number for this bug?
