Thread: Making the browsing view behave as a browser




Making the browsing view behave as a browser

Hi everyone,

I often find myself wanting to go back to a previous particular view of the catalog (being it filtered for a given artist or album, or the result of a particular combination of that and a search for example)

The feature I miss in that moments is "previous" and "next" arrow buttons, as in a web browser so I can go back and forth in the history of views of the catalog.

I know nothing about RB internals but I imagine it should not be a too difficult a feature to add (I guess there is already something describing what the current view is made of or built with, it may just involve saving it in a list every time the view changes).

What do you guys think of this ? Is this something that would only interest me and confuse the users ?

I'll second this.  I'm not sure if the 'browser' idea
would be the best,
but something as simple as saving your location in the list
if you come
back to it from a search or something.  Sometimes I want to
jump out of
where I am in a long list (my library contains > 100k
songs) to do a
search and not have to scroll all the way back to where it
was.
