The patch is included in the just released Custom Scan 1.22

is that it would result in bad performance. It takes almost as long
time to count number of items as actually displaying them. So the
solution is instead that you can configure how many items that has to
be selected until it displays the contents of "Matching xxx" directly
on the page instead of requiring an extra click.
By default it is configured this way:
- Matching Albums: Contents shown after 2 values have been selected
- Matching Songs: Contents never shown
- Matching <custom tag>: Disabled by default

This requires both the new version of Custom Scan (1.22) and the new
version of Custom Browse (1.25). The solution is that the breadcrumb
path is now shown as:
By default:
Code:
--------------------
Genres / Baroque / Genres / Instrumental / Genres / Violin / Matching albums
--------------------
If you configure the Tags menu to use short breadcrumb path:
Code:
--------------------
Baroque / Instrumental / Violin / Matching albums
--------------------
A thing that also is new in Custom Scan 1.22 is that you can setup a
"Matching XXX" entry for a custom tag. The idea is that in a classical
collection you are probably not searching for an album or song, you are
probably searching for a "work". If you have WORK tags in your music,
you can configure the custom tag parameters in the Tags menu with the
tag name. The result is that you will get a "Matching Works" entry
beside the "Matching Albums" and "Matching Songs".
Finally the Tags menu in this release now also shows the header
information for all known SlimServer object. This header information
has previously been available in many of the other Custom Browse based
menus, but now it is also available in the Tags (Dynamic Tags) menu.
