Thanks mpt, you've clarified it nicely. Yes, the current pathbar design
is more a combination of the two (history and hierarchy). The pathbar
buttons reflect the physical movement through the various views from a
viewpoint of hierarchy, and so navigating to a details view via a search
is displayed exactly that way in the pathbar (that is, it includes an
element for the search step).
On the other hand, the navigation history is literally that; a record of
the screens visited. I think we want it to continue to work as it does
now.
That's part of what makes this one a little tricky to implement; we need
to create a logical mapping for a particular kind of navigation (to the
software item screen), and overlay that on the current pathbar/history
design in such a way that it works for all the cases that kiwinote
lists. It's likely a fair bit of surgery to get this right, but more
importantly it will represent some risk so it looks like this will have
to come in Natty. Sorry! I know you've been looking for this fix for a
long time.
P.S. Matthew McGowan, thanks for your branch! We'll keep it in our
pocket and revisit this for Natty.
