Description chris 2003-11-24 22:13:16 UTC 
Currently, when "All" is selected in one of the Browser columns, this
causes all the Browser columns to be set to "All." As it is, I can select
an artist in the Artist field, then select a compilation that artist
appears on in the Album field. I can't then go back to the Artist field and
select "All" to get a list of all the artists that appear on that compilation.

Comment 4 Michel Alexandre Salim 2004-04-13 04:10:07 UTC 
This is still the case in rhythmbox 0.7.2. Any idea if it's planned to be fixed
anytime soon, or whether it is desirable to fix but nobody's taking it up? Might
be a good time for me to learn Gtk+
Comment 5 Colin Walters 2004-04-13 04:28:22 UTC 
It would require a redesign of the whole way the library querying code works.  I
wouldn't suggest it for your first GTK+ project.

I agree it's a desirable feature though.
Comment 6 Michel Alexandre Salim 2004-04-13 04:51:42 UTC 
Not as simple as
<pseudo-code>
// triggered when artist set to 'All'
if (album.is_selected)
{
   SET_ARTIST_TO_ALL();
   RESTORE_ALBUM_SELECTION();
}
</pseudo-code>

then? Ah well, nice to know the bug is not simply being ignored then.

Thanks,

- Michel

Comment 9 Aaron Kurtz 2005-03-05 00:41:57 UTC 
If this is ever fixed, it would be nice if the selection of any category allowed
only valid results for the other categories. In other words, pick a CD, show
only the artists on it, pick an artist, show only the genres they have done.
Comment 10 Michael Wiktowy 2005-03-28 00:21:11 UTC 
I run into this annoyance regularly. It would be nice if selections were not set
back to "All" if the selection exists in the new list.
As a few alternative approaches to doing the same thing (that may or may not be
simpler):
- have "Browse this Artist/Album/Genre" action reset the other browser
categories to "All "if this Artist/Album/Genre is already selected ( as
suggested in Bug 169253 )
- have selection categories draggable to the search bar (as well as other places
as is outlined in Bug 165583 )

Comment 12 James "Doc" Livingston 2006-04-13 06:31:30 UTC 
This has been fixed in cvs, and selecting something should no-longer change the selections in other browsers (where possible).
