-  The entry field is too short, I don't even get half of my "speech"
   Genres in there

It's 100 characters - how many of those genres do you have?!? Fix your tags :-P

-  The entry field disappears as soon as you come back from another
   screen (e.g. return from search results). Which is especially a
   problem since...
-  To save a library view you first have to search, you can't just
   specify the parameters and save

I'll see what I can reasonably do here.

-  There is no way to still use the whole library in "additional
   browse modes" unlike what was originally envisioned with the
   libraries. IIRC the original idea was that you can apply a filter to
   the whole library but still create other menus that do not use that
   filter although the "normal" menus use it.

The original request was Erland asking for some infrastructure to create a better multi library plugin. That's what I did: I implemented the infrastructure.

I never promised the full functionality he is providing with his plugins. I didn't even plan to provide a UI beyond the few test cases I implemented in the demo plugin. I didn't even plan to use the advanced search to create libraries. But when the idea came up... I should have resisted.

Now all a dev needs to create some great multi library plugin should be there. I still hope someone will pick it up and come up with a solution which opens up the full potential for the users. I for myself will probably write my own q'n'd plugin where I can copy/paste SQL to define libraries. But I won't try to build a nice UI.

So there is currently no
   way to have audiobooks excluded from the library and still show them
   in a separate menu.

As I've already started implementing this stuff I'll probably have to consider this a bug...

   special menus: Books, Christmas music, Childrens' stuff,... Whatever
   your specific use case it.

Kids music... you hit my weak point. Crap.
