#26 Folder Shortcuts/Buttons

[Eric Seidel]

I recieve this in an email today:

Hi Eric, just wanted to praise you for your work on Open AG, my
dad and i love it! it's much better than that shall not be named os9
application which would constantly redownload songs on top of
each other. Just one little tidbit i thought might improve it, is i
miss having a button that opens opens my share and downloads
folder. Don't know if your planning on adding that in, just thought it
would be a useful shortcut.
--end--

Shouldn't be hard to do, I just would need to decide on an
intereface for that... and how do we handle that OpenAG has
multiple shared directories? Do we have a drawer off to the side?
If we implement file name sorting, that would make sense....

There's lots of room in the top of the app after the satellite queue button
and before the play button where you could put a button to shares and a
button to downloads, or i could just be one button, i assume most
people use thier share folder as their downloads folder. I think a drawer
would be and excellent idea for the directories, although having every
letter listed could create a really longer than wanted interface. Sure you
could scroll though, but there's got to be an easier way. I'll ponder on
that one. A show in finder button might be helpful too, or even a send a
trash button so if you download a song, play it, and find a skip in the
song/wrong song/bad quality you can get rid of it with the click of a
button, i'd make sure there was a warning though, don't wanna go
deleting anything that you want to keep.
