Streamlining the browsing tree & multiple configs

Having now returned home, with Puccini still ringing in my ears, I have followed your suggestion and also added my Sub-Genre tag (which currently offers me the choice of Chamber, Instrumental, Opera, Orchestral or Vocal/Choral). My configuration is now:

Modified settings V3
tagOptions = Album.sortTags\={Album, Artist}
tagCustom = Composer.displayRole\={artist}
tagFormat =
indexTags = Genre, Sub-Genre, Composer, Work
showExtras = false
itemTags =
aliasTags =
alphaGroup = Composer

This did indeed resolve my problem with being asked twice to specify the Work (but read on).

I then decided to revert to my 'Modified settings V2' to check out whether I could select a work without browsing as far as the track listing. That worked for me on the Oppo BDP-105 but, to my surprise, the redundant selection requirement did NOT reappear!

Nothing I have tried so far has made that problem come back. Perhaps it was just some obscure and temporary bug that has now disappeared. Computers are designed to drive you mad . . .

Thanks as always for your prompt assistance.
