Feature description:
Symfonium has excellent ways of displaying song and album lists with lot of customization options, I love it!
What I feel is missing is a way to have a link to a specific view+settings, ideally to put on the home view for one-click access.
For example after making a list of all albums of a specific genre with my preferred “Sort by” option, “Filter mode” and “Display mode” I could have a shortcut to this genre with these exact settings to easily access this view in the future.
I think “smart playlists”/“album smart playlists” come close to doing the same thing but don’t include all the settings that library views allow.
Problem solved:
There’s no easy way to return to a view in the future after having customized it (except the last seen one) without going through all the steps again.
Brought benefits:
- Library views become even more useful as the time put into customizing them doesn’t have to be repeated!
- Helpful to anyone doing maintenance on their music library for repeat uses of views
Other application solutions:
None that I know of.
Additional description and context:
The more details the better to understand the need and figure out the best solution.
Screenshots / Mockup:
None, though I imagine simply having something like a “View shortcuts” or “Library shortcuts” section on home that has a list of my shortcuts. Each could possibly use the icon of the library section it refers to plus a user-given name for the shortcut when it’s created.
