Would be great if we could click on an info-item next to the player-icons to browse the album / label / artist.

What would clicking do exactly?

Good question. An ideal outcome would be if:

  • Clicking the artist – would show all tracks by the artist in the browser
  • Clicking the album – would show all tracks in the browser
  • Clicking the label – would show all tracks in the browser

The difficulty here probably is that there are so many different browsers…

Also it would be great if filters would be visible in the paned browser – so e.g. when selecting artist=Kelelait would be great if there was a search for a column artist or involved artists in the paned browser and then the column filter could be set accordingly.

OK. Not sure how easy this is (as the display is based on the user defined pattern), but might be worth a try.

I think this could be interesting and useful, as long as it would still be easy to select and copy information from the display into the clipboard, without triggering the filter.

Maybe make this optional:

[a href="?artist=<artist>"]<artist>[/a]

More food for thought: an incoming URI schema (I started pulling that thread in #1828 a bit actually), in the current trend for (mobile) app deep-linking.

e.g. quodlibet://search?song=foobar or quodlibet://browse/paned/?artist=foobar
...or some better scheme

This would also (especially) make sense in the context of #940
