Apologies Jim for not being clear. Most breadcrumbs show the *location* (ie File systems, Websites, etc), which is what I believe Bloodhound should do too. Some breadcrumbs show the *path* of how the user got there, which is what I understand BreadCrumbsNav does. (Wikipedia for further brief definitions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_(navigation) ). It seems to me that the plugin chose path over location because Trac doesn't have a structure as such, while Bloodhound will have some structure. > > My bread crumbs use case is more complicated than a simple click on a back > button.

I'm at least one other person, and I can see this being quite a common use case. Bloodhound provides more functionality to help you with this though: - Activity (Timeline in Trac) is now very prominent in the UI, and it makes perfect sense to allow you to filter this by your own actions - Custom Query Activity - I believe Custom Queries should have the option to show Activities as well as Tickets, with you being able to filter both in the same way. - Dashboard - While it currently only shows you Tickets allocated to you or watched by you, in future Bloodhound will allow you to watch anything: eg Projects, Products, Milestones, etc. That will allow you to keep track of things across all of the Bloodhound instance. - Projects allow you to keep track of anything (Tickets, Milestones, etc) across one or more Products. - Joe
