Summary0003374: Autosync List Filters don't actually filter tracks
DescriptionSelecting a filter filters by Artists/Locations/Albums but not by Track, meaning that if the user selects 'All' artists with Filter A active, then ALL artists are selected irrespective of which ones match the filter criteria. The effect is that the current functionality is useful as long as the user doesn't select a top level node.

One potential solution to this is:
-Treat filters independently. e.g. if user selects All Artists in Filter A, then when the user switches to filter2, Artist B would appear 'half-selected' and greyed out. If they selected it, it would become completely selected.
-states would be: Selected, Unselected, Greyed out (to indicated selected or partially selected by virtue of _another_ filter).
-Get rid of the Music/Audiobooks/Podcasts tabs and instead dynamically generate tabs based on each of the filters.

This should also be fixed for CD Burning.

As discussed over IM, we are not 100% sure that it is a good idea to implement this. Time will show...

-When we implement this, it may also make sense to change the sync list so that each filter has it's own tab.

I just received another complaint about this from a user who indicated that he expected, based on the current UI, that only a single filter can be chosen for synching.

i.e. he was surprised when he chose a filter that contained only 30MB of music and over 100MB of music ended up on the sync list.

This is definitely confusing and a frequent complaint in the forum.

It seems that this could be remedied by implementing the device tree similar to the regular library tree.
