#82 Filtered View - Left Pane - Can we have a hide file folder option?
If you have tons of files buried in a large hiearchical folder structure, it takes some work/scrolling to find the filtered file entries; most of the time, I don't care about the folder names, but am focused on the files
maybe include a checkbox on the filtered/total # count in a summary row at the top or bottom of the left pane
Thanks,
Branch
With a tree view, the files would not be displayed when the parent directory is hidden, this would require transforming the hierarchical file model into a flat list model, which would mean additional memory consumption and additional time for the mapping, which might not be desirable when using tons of files.
I have implemented this in a different way, but it should nevertheless solve your use case: The "Previous File"/"Next File" actions in the GUI (accessible via the toolbar, the "Edit" menu and the keyboard shortcuts Alt-Up/Alt-Down) now only jump to tagged files. In your case, you can just press Alt-Down after filtering to go to the next filtered file. I often use Alt-Up/Down while editing in the frame table because this way I can continue editing the next file without losing focus or leaving the keyboard. If you still want to go to the next or previous file which does not have a tag (such as playlists, pictures or folders), you can focus the file list and use the Up- and Down-keys (without Alt).
This is now commited to Git [5d9550], you can test it with kid3-git20170331, which can be found in https://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/files/kid3/development/
