Description simon 2008-12-05 14:46:51 UTC
Version:           2.0-SVN (using 4.1.81 (KDE 4.1.81 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081128)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.26-tuxonice

i often search for a track name and would like to add the whole album containing the track, but up to now only the filtered results can be added.
a new context menu entry (on the album item?) which allows that would be nice.

As a related bug/feature-request, in older (pre 2.* I guess?) versions of Amarok, after searching by, e.g., song title, if you clicked on a particular track in the left (library) list and then cleared the search the library would stay "scrolled" to the track that you clicked on. This made it easy to then add the entire album (search for a particular song => click on that song title => clear the search => right click on the album itself).  At least in last 2 versions of Amarok, however, clearing the search causes the left library list to jump back to the top. If you clicked on a song when during the search it is still expanded, but when you have a large library it is a serious pain to then have to scroll to find it. 

So while I think Simon's solution (adding a "add entire album to playlist" context menu entry (on the album name, probably) is the best, if it is easier/if it means this gets done, it might be worth looking a few versions back and seeing why when the search was cleared the library list didn't jump back to the top.

Cheers.

@Simeon: can't think what came over you, but mass claiming open bugs as fixed doesn't help anything

still open with git of today

So sorry, please disregard this message, there was a misunderstanding with the
Google Code-In student.

While I'm not sure if we could add another context menu, entry, ^^^this is something we should fix, and perhaps there won't be a need to add a context menu afterwards. Note that the above is covered by bug 188074 and I have an idea how to approach it without introducing another hack. Hopefully I'll find time to have a look at it before 2.8.

So perhaps this could be resolved in favour of bug 188074?
