SUMMARY
in the DAMs I used before, the same picture stayed selected no matter where I went: albums, folders etc.
Here if I scroll to a certain picture in an "Album" (folder) and then select e.g. the "Date" pane, it goes back to the last position I was in when browsing that pane.
The rationale is that I want to go from a specific camera to all pictures taken with different cameras in the same moment, or viceversa. It is particularly useful when browsing in a view with few photos and then going in a view that holds a lot of them.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on "Album" in the left pane
2. Scroll to desired picture, select it
3. Click on "Date", or "Timeline"

OBSERVED RESULT
The picture that is selecte is the one that was last selected when using that particular view

EXPECTED RESULT
The selected picture should be the one I selected in the other pane, or at least an option should exist to make the program do that.
