Search collapses playlist tree

Postby Stef1786 » 02 Jun 2013 15:28

Since there is no way to sort by file name, I try to organize with folder hierarchies. The playlist tree helps a great deal to find my way around.

BUT: After every search (even if no match was found) the tree collapses completely, and I have to drill my way down again, into the depth of my folder structure.

It would be great if the playlist tree would remember what branches were expanded/ collapsed before the search, and restore itself back to that state.

Or if a right-click would let me choose an "outline" level to make all branches fly out to that level, instead of having to expand each and every one.

Btw, increasing the display size does not work in the x64 version.

Hmm, a bit hard to do, I think. You just want filtering, not search, right?

Well, yes, basically I took it to be same thing: I want to see my search results by having the playlist filted by it. Immediately obvious, without having to drill down each branch.
