The short answer of why they work differently is that Tellico treats
importing audio file data as appending a whole new collection, where
searching and adding from the fetch dialog works only on groups of entries.
The functionality to scroll to the newly added entry isn't part of the
collection reset at the moment, only adding new entries. I can keep that as
a wishlist item to be added.
