Remember position in Video Library

[genuckols]

Sub, I realize that my explanation of how I use Video Library was not very clear, but I expect that I am not the only one who uses it this way. My minor annoyance is just that--minor--compared to the usefullness that I get out of your fine program. I know that you said "It already does that" so I would like to try one more time to show you what I meant.

If I want to watch "Law and Order" I go into Video Library and see the screen shown in library1.gif. I enter the folder as shown in library2.gif (notice the [..] showing I am inside another folder). I then decide that I really want to watch "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" instead, which is the next folder in the list. I back out to the main Video Library listings and am taken to the top of the list as shown in library3.gif.

If I am at the computer and using the mouse to move around, it is a simple matter of clicking on the next choice. If my wife is in front of the tv and using the remote, she complains about having to press the down button a number of times to get down to the listing she wants instead of once to get to the next listing down from where she was.

I hope this makes sense to you because I don't know how else to explain what is happening. This only happens when going back to the main Video Library listings. Inside any folder when exiting a program or subfolder, the listing stays where it was. It is only when exiting back to the main Video Library root listings that it goes back to the top of the list.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks again for the great work you do in maintaining this program.

I'm not able to reproduce that here. It works fine for me.

If you were using the mouse you could get that behaviour if you're clicking too many times. If you're using the keyboard though, pressing the 'escape' key once should pop you back out with 'Law & Order' selected.

Sub, it will only exhibit that behavior when you have multiple Video Library Directories defined in Config it will only do it on the main directory list.

Here is a version of PVRX2.exe which extends the selection remembering to working with the top level selection when multiple video/music/photo directories have been specified.

Thanks, Sub. It works like a charm. I really appreciate the fact that you don't mind taking the time to answer requests like this.
