Thread: New browsing function

Guino-

I know i keep bothering you about directory/browsing features, but i think that a few little things would help browsing alot... for me at least. i've already asked you about locking in a directory ex. c:\mp3s. and i think you were going to look into that. that would be much appreciated.

the other is a function that mirrors an xbmc function. i saw someone in another thread asking about an xbmc function called stacking. this is a great feature that merges movie files together ex. movie-cd1.mpg and movie-cd2.mpg into just movie.mpg when it plays them (or just adds them to a playlist). i think this is a great idea.

another xbmc-inspired function that i love is letter-skipping browsing. example:

if when browsing for movie\music etc, and you hit left\right on the joystick, it skips a letter in the alphabet to the first album beginning with the next letter.
so:

abba
|
|
bach
|
|
cat stevens
etc.

and skips the ones in the middle.
i think that'd be a cool function. like
"skipletter","next"
"skipletter","previous"
"skipletter","q" <-- to jump directly to a letter. if you wanted to setup a screen full of letters so you can simply jump to each.

the last suggestion i have is to have an option to make the list circular. that way if you're browsing the a's and you reach the top and go up one more, it skips to the z's. dont know how hard that'd be to implement.

either way, great work guino. i can't explain how grateful i am for your great prog... i'd be lost without it.
