User from Ticket # 5662 requested same thing. |

I can see this being useful e.g. for classical music (using Composer) or for Singles. It also _seems_ like it would be easy to implement, but the suggested approach isn't ideal in the sense that currently, entering "<Composer> - <Title>" doesn't display what the associated values are--it just shows the mask, and presumably, clicking the dropdown would similarly just display the mask (and in either case, what the user would want to see is the actual values that are being looked up). Possible approaches to addressing this could be: 1) Upon pressing RETURN for a mask or upon selecting a mask from the dropdown, show the values associated with the mask. The downside of this approach is that there would be no obvious way to edit existing masks (since they immediately convert to values). 2) OR perhaps have a separate means of choosing the Mask. On the other hand, this kind of overcomplicates what should be a very simple UI. Ludek any thoughts? |

1) I think that having set of pre-configured masks in read-only dropdown should work, that said in the current edit line would be always _result_ of such a mask. i.e. selecting "<composer>" + "<album>" would result in "Beethoven" + "Symphony No.9" |

1) Perhaps tapping the '>>' (Mask) button should cause the mask to display instead of the associated values? |

1) yes, sounds reasonable |
