mapping of 'My Library' entry back to sub-collection(s) containing it???

axon

Is there a way/shortcut/menu-option I can use to see which sub-collection(s) have I filed an entry under? This would be useful for example to see what else/relevant is contained in that sub-collection?

Thanks!

Hi Adam,
I have a suggestion for improvement...
The Alt key is very useful for highlighting in which collection(s)
an entry is filed under.

It'd be nice for that functionality to also scroll up/down the left
pane with the hierarchy of collections, to make sure the
user actually sees at least
the first highlight. When working on a laptop with a small screen
the highlight is often "off-screen" and doesn't actually show me
anything. It is the case that most of my items are on one collection
so at least for me it wouldn't be a challenge to display on screen
that (only/first) collection name highlighted, if there was an automatic scroll up/down...You could also display a different color (eg. green) strip at the bottom, perhaps with some dots in it to
indicate to the user that there are more collections further down the collections list, which don't fit on the user's available screen to be shown... This way the user will know to scroll down and look further down by repressing the Alt key again or something...

working on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 with the standalone latest beta verion and chrome plug-in.

Thanks,
A.
