I'm at it again! Too much free time in the evenings...
With 18000 music files, I can't really keep them all in the playlist as Cog isn't built to do that. It gets a bit glitchy. However - I want to be able to search for songs or artists or albums.
So, enter "File Tree Search". I set the shortcut to option-command-F and it's above the file tree.
It glows like the playlist search, displays near instant results, and puts them all into a flat structure, which feels a bit more sensible than maintaining the folder structure. You can double click either folders or files to add them to the playlist as normal.
I also fixed what feels like a bug: When you're scrolling at speed through the file tree, and you have folder names too wide - it happens - your fingers can accidentally drift left or right and the whole window goes flying off. The fix is just a matter of setting this magical option:
usesPredominantAxisScrolling="YES"I'll raise a PR for consideration. I might change the label to "Tree Search" to avoid confusion.
