Search options (Page 2 of 4)

Thanks. I actually looked at the link. The more I think about it, without actually using it, I'm thinking there's little doubt for those of us with huge libraries and especially with deep trees of long file names, a window would be best. More, roll in search and drag/drop, and this solution would be SO much better than iTunes and Play.

I'm game! OTOH, I just got my nerve up to estimate just what I'm talking about in my eventual library and it'll be at least 200 GBs. Hell, I'll need some kind of search function. Best I can tell Cog will search only the files in the main window. Would search be able if the files drawer was a separate window?

Well, besides the fact that some classical names can get get quite long, there's also the not all that uncommon instance where said long title is part of an overall piece which is part of a CD which is part of a set which is a part of a compilation. Talk about a tree's branches!

When I think of the Library my collection will be once I retire and get it all done, I can see having the greater horizontal space being much more valuable than the vertical space of the side drawer. That is, presently I will have to scroll down through a 6 inch tall drawer containing upwards of 2,000 CDs - all the info showing in the drawer being truncated or otherwise funky to decipher. Were the drawer below it would be much wider, accommodating most if not all information, and considering having to scroll through upwards of 2,000 CDs, not much more scrolling in a 3 inch tall drawer than the aforementioned 6 inch tall drawer. Still, a shitload of a lot of scrolling no matter where.

Play has gone the Toolbar route and done a very good job of it. I continue to prefer Cog but would very much like to see some experimentation with the toolbar idea.

Works fine for me, too. Much thanks for this my first Christmas present. 

Thirded.

Heh. Most not notice? Maybe. As an old bass player I might have (might, I say). Still this is about music. Gotta show respect.

And speaking of which: THANK YOU ALL for your work!

I make a bunch of use of symlinks. Aliases don't work in pre-Leopard - Haven't tested Leopard aliases.

And the Virtual Memory management is the best reason to upgrade.
