#111 Show in search window which file/folder search data is coming from

[Lasse Embøl]

Hi

I know this tool is album-oriented, but a simple request for us who have:
- Beautiful filenames (artist-title) in one big folder
- Singles, not albums
- Other crazy library organization methods.. :)

When the track doesn't have any albums in its id3-tag, the auto-search tool only shows the artist, leaves the album field blank, and then nothing else.
I would love if it also showed what filename it's using to search for covers. I'm pretty sure the right result for my search is displayed somewhere in the list, but i can't see what single i'm searching for albums for.

A screenshot with a tiny suggestion up top, to show you what I'm talking about:

If you need more information, or are willing to discuss the idea, please hit me up!

It isn't using a filename to search for covers. If only an artist and no album is available, then it only searches for the album.

If you have beautiful filenames, though, what you can do is treat the track title as the album instead, and search for that. To do so, use file path pattern matching instead of ID3 tags, and use a pattern where the title part matches the %album% placeholder (and, of course, the artist part matches %artist%).
