Larger Size1 - MB doesn't appear to be respecting selection for fields shown or sorting order (or there's an overriding setting I can't find).
For some indeterminate reason, it is sorting by track length. I can change the sorting as shown, but if I restart MB, it reverts to sorting by track length. Is something overriding it? Where and why?
Just before making this post, it would also show two columns for track length side by side. Even after changing the fields shown, they would reappear after restarting MB. I don’t know what I did but it suddenly stopped. Still concerning because I don't actually know what's governing these related behaviors and I could trip it again.
[Oddly enough, I found this:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=25193.0 but I don't understand Steven's explanation, where the 'Music Library tracks view' is or why that view would be stuck in one sorting order / have duplicate columns.]
2 - Is there a way to deselect an artist / album cover if there is no whitespace? In the above its restricted to Kate Bush but when no artist is chosen, the bottom panel allows you to scroll through your entire library.
3 - Reading about customizing the main panel, I learned MB saves changes on the fly. What's the best way to make sure you preserve the default settings or is there a reset button somewhere?
4 - Does MB use one layout for the entire app? For example if I change the width of the right sidebar, it is that same width everywhere else in the app, from music node, to auto dj, etc. Can you save layouts to certain views as you can for the main panel?
5 - Is there a way to lock or hide the entire header in green? It is too easy to misclick and change the sort order on the fly while using this view. It's partly the origin of some of the above issues. I had misclicked track length in the Music Library which then propagated to my other filters.
