      So, no matter what you have configured for "Preferred release type" under Picard's Metadata config menu... you're still going to need to manually check each looked-up release in the right pane, right click on a release, carefully scroll down the menu to "Other versions", and then see if this is the correct one.

       

      That's a lot of tedious clicking and fine muscle movement, and it just takes a lot of time.

       

      What would be nice, is a way to see which release, out of all the possible releases (basically all the "Other versions" menu data), without a bunch of careful clicking and scrolling (on my MacBook's trackpad). Maybe it's easier with a mouse, but it's a pain to do this stuff on a laptop.

       

      If this "Other versions" info was displayed in a new pane, or window, or something, all that time, that would work... but also just having a single keystroke which would bring up the display of this information, that would be much faster and easier than a bunch of clicking and squiggling just right on a trackpad.
