Description cyrus_xiii 2008-12-10 22:07:03 UTC
Version:           2.0 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When searching for specific songs in my collection, I often find myself wanting to listen to the entire album, rather than that specific track alone. The current behavior in Amarok is, that when you search for a song and subsequently drag the album node from the search results into the playlist (or select the respective option from the context menu), only the songs on that album which matched the search query are added.

This seems a little too abstract and it would probably feel more natural if the album node/cover always represented the entire record, regardless of context.

(In 1.4 my workaround used to be to select the album, clear the search bar and then add the still selected album to the playlist. In 2.0 this no longer works, as the collection tree is closed and the album deselected upon clearing the search bar.)
