Bug Description

It is not a bug but a Wishlist item.

Sometimes searching for a track in a very big list makes me lost and I would like to have a means of returning back to one of the tracks loaded in my decks.

I would like to click (or double click) on the title of the track of each deck and the library to scroll, give focus to this track making it visible instantly.

Thanks again

I'd be so glad to have this being implemented. I played a list of WAV files without ID tags, I got so much lost what was playing at that moment.

I think the focus should jump to the place where it was loaded into the deck. If it was from library - than show in library. If from Device - than to device. If from playlist - than jump to playlist.

If not jump to a track, at least indicate what track from the current library list is in the deck now

This isn't a dupe of lp:1789456, that's about a column for what deck a track is loaded in, this is about changing what view/track the library is scrolled to focus on.

IMO for this one; a menu item next to "Open in File Browser", like "View in Media Library" over viewing the properties of a track on double clicking the name.

This is a brilliant idea. I also agree, it sucks having to find the track in your library, especially pertaining to your current deck. I usually organize my tracks by BPM, but even then, is it hard to find your current deck's track.

FYI
Double-clicking the decks' track lables opens the Track Properties dialog.
Right-click opens the track context menu, which has now "Select track in library". This is deactivated (greyed out) if the track is not contained in the current track view (or filtered by the search current query).
