Hi Erland,

Thanks for these answers... never seen such a good "customer service"
;).

You are right that I assumed that the headers I was loooking for in
dynamic tags menu would be headers of the "currently selected set of
albums" (only the music matching the subset of dynamic tags), not only
"a copy of the last selected item standard header" (with all the stuff
of the current artist, not only the subset matching the dynamic tags).

It's not important at all, in fact, I'm not yet used to the new
browsing menus of CustomBrowse. I was just surprised not to get the
same appearance and tried to get the same everywhere. If it's not
possible, I won't even add it as a feature request. 
The important point is to know it's not possible so I don't loose time
trying to do it.

This "Dynamic Tag" menu is the one I needed and feared not to find (I
was afraid to have to create dozens of menus for each possible search
path). Dynamic tags and the "tag aliasing" option in "Mixed tags" does
a wonderful job!


For the breadcrumb replacement, I understand your problem. Adding extra
sql wouldn't be a good idea... at least for me as some menus of Custom
Browse run damn slow with my epia 1Ghz (in fact the worst are
configuration menus and some "refresh" actions that are quite long but
it works great with th SB remote/display -that is what I really worry
about).

Passing Names in the url parameters could be a good solution, something
ready for use in the template like: bc=level1::level2::level3 wouldn't
be that long. If I remember correctly, url length is standardized to
128 chars but nowadays, browser accept more than 1024/4096 and more
characters. To prevent problems with PDA, TabletPC, etc, there could be
an option like "url compatibility" in the plugin configuration.

Another solution could be to add a table in SS like:
Mac-CliendID:BrowserIP:CurrentBreadCrumbPath

Or better but I'm not shure SS handle session id:
Mac-CliendID:BrowseSession:CurrentBreadCrumbPath

The main problem with this method would be when two CustomBrowse with
dynamic tags are displayed in the same browser, breadcrumbs would be
corrupted... for me it's not a common case.

All in all, thanks again for such a great job!
