Selected filters remain when switching from filter pane to list view

[dannycandel]

After selecting either a genre, artist or album from the Filter Pane, the selection will filter the songs shown in the list view as well. This may confuse users into thinking that their entire music library only contains a fraction of the songs it does.

Currently, to show the full library in the list view, the user must make certain that "All Genres", "All Artists", and "All Albums" are selected in the Filter Pane, and then switch back to the List View. This may be in violation of Elementary's Human Interface Guidelines, as it essentially makes the List View a duplicated feature of the Filter Pane's song list (which can be resized to look identical to the List View as well).

i agree, but i want to make sure dan does too.

note to self:

get_selected {
 if(!this.visible) return "All %s";

I'm assuming we're talking about hiding the miller column right? In that case I would agree that hiding the column should then show all your music, not just the previously selected filter.

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

well, not just one miller column (although that brings up a good point), but if you change from miller view to listview, the miller should not affect the showing songs in the list.

Erm that's what I meant. But yea that does bring up a point about hiding individual columns as well ;)
