Maddening Video Metadata Save/Exit Behavior [patch]

[adiemus <mythtv@…>]

Having recently upgraded from 0.21-fixes to 0.25-fixes, one of the things I was most excited about was getting useful metadata into my videos. However, I quickly found myself to the point of near rage at the metadata edit dialog's behavior of returning to the root of the video list when done editing a file, rather than returning to the file just edited. (Making editing multiple files take a *painfully* long time, even with a keyboard)

Attached is a patch that (mis-)uses the "save and restore video selection" logic to make save/exit-ing from the metadata edit dialog return to the video just edited.

I've tested it locally in list/browser/gallery modes, and they all seem to work. However, I'm very unfamiliar with myth's codebase, and I'm quite sure this need a good looking over. (I've noticed, for example, that in browser/gallery mode the file counts when returning from edit are wrong, until you move to a new video, though you do end up back on the correct video. I mostly use the list view and am fairly unfamiliar with the browser/gallery views so I didn't look into this further)

Hope this is at least marginally useful.

I think there is another, better way to do this using the update event stuff that I'm working on to fix the bookmark/watched status bug.
