I was aware of the group filter, but it was much less convenient going
into the menu, changing the filter and saving the settings, than just
using right/left to go up and down the hierarchy. I didn't know I
could jump straight to the Recording Group Chooser. I will have to
look into that. Thanks for the tip.
