| Summary | 0020803: Click on > navigation button doesn't show dropdown list | ||||
| Description | Expand Entire Library / Artists, click on any artist node, e.g. Pink Floyd, the navigation bar shows: Home > Entire Library > Artists > Pink Floyd >. The third ">" after "Artists" doesn't work, but it should open dropdown with list of artists. Expand Entire Library / Albums, click on any album, e.g. The Wall, the navigation bar shows, Home > Entire Library > Albums > The Wall. The third ">" after "Albums" doesn't work, but it should open dropdown with list of albums. Genres, Years, Rating, Title, Classification, Files to Edit (and maybe others that I didn't test) don't have such issue. | ||||

AFAIR this was intentional as the list of all Albums/Artists is rather a very large list that: 1) is hard to navigate via breadcrumbs menu 2) could cause UI freeze on large databases to get the list => would need to be reworked to be asynchronous (similarly like Find More From Same > Playlist) |

The navigation bar should work as full replacement for the Tree panel, since many users don't like that panel visible. But the Tree panel cannot be replaced with the navigation bar if it doesn't work identically with every node. Users could have many other nodes in the Tree panel having too many sub-nodes, beside of Artists and Albums, and every such node will have the corresponding breadcrumbs menu with too many items. For example, user could have a Playlist or Folder node with the same number of sub-nodes (or even more) as one has albums/artists. Should every such node be disabled in the navigation bar? The current behavior is not consistent nor intuitive and it leaves many users wondering why the navigation bar is not working as it should and thinking there is a bug with it. If you want to reduce the number of possible sub-nodes in the Tree, i.e. the number of items in the breadcrumbs menu, you could add an intermediary "A-Z" level for Artists and Albums, just like you have it for Titles. |
