The recent version of the BubbleUPnP control point features a 'Remove duplicated items' setting. I think it would be reasonable to omit the Hide Contents step when the control point takes care for duplicated items. Is there still hope for a MinimServer setting to switch off the 'Hide Contents' step?

I have experimented with this and the results were not successful.

1) ">> Complete Album" can't be removed because this provides additional items, not duplicated items.

2) ">> Tag View" shouldn't be removed because this opens up a complete duplicate hierarchy for every folder (recursively). This would greatly increase the amount of data sent to the control point.

3) It seems that ">> Disc n" could be removed but after many hours of trying different ways to do this I couldn't come up with a new scheme that felt right to me in terms of user experience.

4) This leaves ">> Show All". I think this could be removed but it didn't seem worth trying to do this given that the other three "Hide" menus would still be in place.
