no easy way to unselect the browse by album,artist,genre option

[Stéphane V]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When you right click in the list of music, you get a menu where you can find "Browse only this Artist", "Browse only this Genre", "Browse only this Album".

This works great but it is not possible to quit/exit/kill this filter... The only way possible is to get out of the Music library (by clicking on "Podcast", for example) and then re-click on Music Library to return to the list without the filter. This is annoying because you loose the position in the list where you were.

It will be great if in the right-clicked-menu, we can get something like a tick ("v") which shows that the filter is active. By clicking a second time on this menu entry, you can deactivate the filter and get the full list of music again. I'm thinking about a entry which looks like the options in the "View" menu ("Full screen", for example)

Another way to view the active filter : simply write the words of the filter in the search bar, so the effect of filtering will be the same and we can deactivate the filter by erase the search bar. (or combine these two possibilities)

Thanks !
Stéphane

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however I am unable to reproduce the behaviour you describe. When I "Browse by...", I am able to easily remove the filter by pressing the "Show All" button just above the viewing pane. Does this work for you?
