Feature Request: Auto Expand Option For Collection Pane

[GSF1200S]

When going to the Collection pane (with artist as a filter), all artists are collapsed. Upon selecting the down arrow for an artist, an Exaile user is then presented with a list of all albums by that artist. I can see this as useful, however I, and I reason other Exaile users, often do not know what album a song belongs to. An Exaile user then needs to click the dropdown next to each album in order to eventually find the song.

What I propose: Have a "Automatic Full Expand" option in the context menu of the collection pane. When enabled, if a person selects the down arrow next to an artist, it automatically expands the artist and all albums by that artist allowing the user to find their song.

Perhaps having it in the context menu in the Collection pane would be better?

[GSF1200S (poeticrpm)]

Agreed. Changed in original description.

Somehow I don't think this is very useful. There's the Search box for
this purpose.

I'd certainly find it useful. Sometimes you can't remember the title or album you're looking for but you do remember the artist. Search won't help you there since it will only expand down to the level that matched, ie. the artist.
