It is illogical. It is a function of the minibrowser itself, that is the LMS code driving it. I see if you are in the full browser interface, it will open the artist/album info in the left-side pane. But in the minibrowser, the is no left-side pane so it (if you still have the main browser open that was used to invoke the minibrowser), it will update the left hand pane or (if not) it opens a new browser. What you would like then is to open the SLX main browser and update the left hand pane. At the time I was implementing the MiniBrowser, which is intended to be a more usable version than what a regular browser would give you, I remember thinking about your issue, but deferring it since it was going to be hard to do. So as a work-around, you can click the caption arrow to quickly get back to the main browser and click on the artist there and get what you want. (so an extra click, I know). Another work around might to create a tray menu link that also does what you want. For example you could create the following tray menu link: Artist Discography | https://www.discogs.com/search?q=%Artist% Which would bring up the currently playing artist on discogs.org. Lately I have been working on making SLX work with the Material Skin recently developed by Craig Drummond. In the process, I may be closer to having some techniques that might be applicable to solving your issue, so I will give it a second look after I get the Material skin working. Frankly, though, once the new SLX version is available and you start using it, you might not use the default LMS skin much after that. Since it is small and good. Thanks for reminding me about this issue. I'm adding it to my queue.
