hm, lengthy discussion Maybe, but not with me. I don't really care a lot _how_ it works as long as it's consistent. I only store local items in favorites for testing and did a lot of that when recently implementing the favorites editing for iPeng, that's how I ran into it. I feel handling of

And another edge case... Favorites. If you add stuff to favorites and this is not part of a certain library, it will still be shown even with the library filter on, at least for tracks and albums and intermediate levels for artists (didn't try genres). So, if - there are tracks in favorites

That said: it's just as weird to search for a category, usually with a full-text search you would expect a result-agnostic search returning all kind of results and then maybe a way to filter what you get. No need for 27 different search boxes in a UI, one would be just fine... --- learn more

You can build much more flexible menus using CustomBrowse but most plugins would not respect the filter, I end up with duplicate menus, not all context menu items will work, search will not respect the filters,... Also, the CBR menus don't work as well in iPeng because they don't have

One additional info on the latest comment (the one about it working/not working in iPeng): you are aware (hey, you wrote this, so you should...) that the library filter is per-client, so if you select a library view in the web interface, iPeng still might use the whole, unfiltered library until
