Description ivan.planinar 2020-11-18 00:18:44 UTC 
SUMMARY

For the sake of simplicity I will talk about Artists, but the same applies to other categories too.

After searching for your artist, if you want to quickly 'reset' the view and display all artists again, you cannot do it by double clicking Artists in a category. Nothing will happen. You have to use the left arrow, but it's a two or three step process AND it will take you back to your search results.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose Artists
2. Let's say we search for Mike Oldfield. He appears on the list.
3. Click on the artist and now songs/albums will appear. Click.
4. Say we want to go back, reset the Artist view and pick someone else. Selecting 'Artists' category or double clicking will produce no results.


OBSERVED RESULT

Elisa keeps the searched artist and going back is a process of several steps. The easiest workaround so far is to select something else (e.g. Tracks) and go back.

EXPECTED RESULT

Once I click or double click on the Artists I expect Elisa to show full list, regardless of my previous searching or whatever I was doing.


Versions: Elisa git master, latest KDE, Arch Linux.

So you would like to be able to click on the sidebar entry to go back? Seems reasonable.

FWIW there is a back button in the toolbar that you can click on to go back.

Yes, but that back button doesn't move you straight to the full list.
It moves you one step at a time, to where you actually did the search.

I think double clicking on any of the items in the sidebar entry should 'reset' the list and show default, regardless of what the user did.

Thanks!

If we're gonna do this, even just single-clicking should do it. That's typically hos other sidebar lists behave.

No problem with me. :-) Thumbs up!

Always open view when sidebar item is clicked

Previously we would not allow this if a child item of that view was open.
