#67 Dynamic research mode

[Darketik]

The research tab in Ario is inefficient to my mind. It would be better to have a rhythmbox like one. I think if you implement it, you will have the best music player client structure.
I explain why: in ario research tab. the result is empty at startup. It would be better to have it full of all library songs and proceed dynamic refinements with for example style, artist, album selection lists and a user interacting naming filter on selected tag field.
This is because when you have thousands and thousands of styles, artists and albums, it is better to have proposal list and not needing to input by your own all filter you want to apply. In fact, it is just about reversing the way of research : removing what you don't want by selecting what style, artist or album you want and have in some proposed lists.

Hi,

I'm not sure that it exactly covers what you need but I have rewritten 'search' panel in Ario svn revision 701 to have dynamic search. Interface looks also less geeky now :-)

Regards,
Marc

I love this new fulltext-thing, but could you add a checkbox-option like "start search while typing"? My computer is an old lady...

I have added a 500ms timeout to search box to avoid useless requests when you are typing. Is it enough for your old lady? :-)

This makes a good job!
You're fast to improve your project, my respect.
