I am testing the new fantastic admin interface. Nice and easy to use, but...
I saw that the breadcrumb is not active (so you can't use it to go, for istance, from "Administration>>Courses>>Add/edit courses" to "Administration>>Courses").
I feel that this is against the accessibility features that are going to be added as written in http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roadmap about version 1.8.
This may be a problem.

There is usually no "page" to go back to ... you just use the admin tree block to navigate.

You are right, I understand you.
What can be added is (in the instance of my example) that selecting the "Courses" item in the breadcrumb, you get/produce the same behaviour you would get/produce by selecting the folder "Courses".
I try to rephrase the same concept.
It would be nice to assign to each item in the breadcrumb the action that is executed selecting the corresponding item in the admin menu.
In this way Moodle avoids accessibility exceptions.

But look at the behaviour you get when you click on "course" in the block. The page doesn't change, the menu just expands.

I'm guessing you are not expecting the menu to expand when you click "Courses" in the navigation bar at the top (note it's not a breadcrumb, it's a navigation heading showing context).

Likewise, it wouldn't make sense for it to open up a new page just listing the options under Courses, as that would be INCONSISTENT with the behaviour when you click on Courses in the block (which is to open up the menu).

Should it just open to a blank page with the block opened up? Don't you think that would be a bit confusing too?

I'm guessing you are not expecting the menu to expand when you click "Courses" in the navigation bar at the top (note it's not a breadcrumb, it's a navigation heading showing context).

What I expect is that by selecting (for instance) "User" in the next navigation heading:

Moodle Administration Users Accounts Browse list of users

the "List of accounts" is replaced by the default content of the page and the menu "Users" collapse. In the main part of the web page (where was the "List of users accounts") I expect to see the default content of the page that is what is shown at the beginning: "Notifications".

In this way, whatever item you select in the navigation heading (rolling back your navigation) you get the same output you would get navigating (rolling forward your navigation) the "admin graphic menu".
