Hi lubosv,

good point.

We will consider this for future versions.

frank, nice to hear that you find the ideas interesting and worth considering.

waves, this works marvelously! at first i was a bit worried that clicking the 'library button' would always bring me to the library top level but fortunately this is not the case. the button works in this way only when clicked from within the library. accessing it from the playback or queue sections brings me to the last used library level. great!

since i need to do some further modifications i switched my installation to dev mode but your info on how to "minify" will surely be useful soon.

thanks for your quick help, guys! much appreciated!

+1 for breadcrumbs. I sometimes remember a name of a song in an album. currently there is no easy way of going to the album path from the search ui other than memorizing the path string.

I have been thinking about it a little before going to sleep....
I think that instead of burdening the search page with tons of HTML (and slowing the load time considerably and adding lots of I/O), it might be better to just make the whole path clickable and add the broken down breadcrumbs trail in the "directory listing"?

what I mean is that by pressing the line under the name of the song in the search result, you will go into library view of the directory that contains this song, perhaps positioned on the song. A nice addition to this would be to add after the "back" breadcrumbs path. it is similar in concept to the windows explorer display (who would believe that i would ever bring windows explorer as a positive example in UI!)

regards,
Moshe
