You know, I was thinking more about this and I will work to see if I can 
add an option to change the view from title view to Recording group view 
and adjust the display accordingly.  The current setting to "save the 
group on exit" should apply just as easily to this view.  Ideally we can 
map a key to toggle the views or use the 1/2 keys to switch between 
them.  If the user has the "category as recording group" box checked it 
should also include those in the list as well.

I think that should accomplish my goal and be more functional across the 
board.  I noticed in the settings today there is a "save on exit" option 
that i had checked which was causing my dislike of the feature as it 
relates to the wife and kids.
