Adding new audio CDs to a music collection

[Peter Mayes]

This refers to tellico-3.5.1 under Fedora38 Linux.

[And apologies if I post quite a bit in the coming days, but having 
spent a lot of time in recent weeks with my CD collection, I have 
spotted a number of things I want to feedback. Watch this space!]

There are two ways of downloading CD information from the internet I 
have used: "Import Audio CD data", and "Add Entry > Internet Search" 
followed by entering the UPC/EAN number. Until very recently I have just 
stuck a CD in the drive and done the "Import Audio CD data" method.

Back in 2016 I reported the following:

RS Reply: You could show and sort by "Date Created" in the column view. 
Recently edited and new entries are also in bold, for visual emphasis. 
What would make this work better for you?

Since then I have mostly just searched for newly added CDs with the 
method you suggested. But when I recently started searching using the 
UPC/EAN number, I see that in the top right panel, the newly added disc 
is not only highlighted, but is centred in that panel (but see comment 
below), so is immediately visible.

So I wonder if the same method of placing the newly-imported disc in the 
top right panel couldn't also be used for "Import Audio CD data"? It 
seems the natural thing to do.

"see comment below": this may not be immediately helpful, but I have 
seen some occasions when the newly-searched-for (by EAN/UPC) disc does 
NOT appear centred in the top right panel and I have to go searching for 
it. But I haven't yet been able to work out the circumstances when this 
happens. I will keep trying to reproduce this.
