I've been using Canola for awhile now, and really, really like it, but in my use I find myself looking for a couple of navigation shortcuts, and am wondering if they exist and I just haven't stumbled across them yet.

1) Is there any shortcut way to go directly back to the "home" screen without navigating back up through each folder level. i.e. I'm listening to a song and I decide I want to check out some photos instead, right now I have to exit the song screen, and go back to song list, then album list, then artist, then audio choices, and then finally back to the home screen. It would be great if there was a way to just skip directly to this screen.

2) I don't think this second one exists, so consider it a feature request. Many times I select random play when I'm not sure what I want to listen to, but then a song comes on and I think I'd really like to listen to the rest of this album, or another song by the same artist. It would be really cool to be able to have a one click shortcut that would take you directly to the album that the currently playing song is on. I have a lot of music on my player, and a lot of artist, so drilling down to the artist manually can take a long time.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knew if either of these are possible today. Again, really love the program, since installing Canola I hardly use my N800 for anything else.

1. Hit the "menu" hard-key.

There's also a button on the top right in Canola. (Changes between 4 boxes and a Play or Pause icon).

Also good to know, I'd seen that it worked as a shortcut when a song was playing to take you directly to the Now Playing Screen, but hadn't noticed that the 4 boxes view also worked as a shortcut to take you back to the main menu.

I figured there had to be a way to do this, and that I was just too dense to figure it out...so thanks for proving me right.
