Greetings,
Just wondering if you happen to be working on a new release if there might be a way to improve the browsing "local collection" list? We have about 400 tracks in the directory and after adding a couple to the matchlist it then takes quite a while to re-read the directory to display the list again.
Could it perhaps just read it once and cache it in an array and have a "refresh" button in case you do need to re-read the list?

Re: feature request browsing local collection
Track details are read with a server request, so 400 tracks is quite big.
I don't know if I'll make a cache or something, I would have to look into this.
A simple workaround is to put your tracks into differents directories.

Awesome. I was going to look at breaking them up into group (a-e, f-l etc) but I hve automated scripts managing some things and that would make it a lot more complex.
Love your work, look forward to seeing the beta

Re: feature request browsing local collection
Thanks, I didn't notice. Perhaps you can change the topic title to say the new version? It still says [v0.98 - 26/10/08] so I didn't suspect anything new had been announced.

That still requires quite a bit of scrolling before getting to the pertaining post. Better use the direct link when referencing a specific post: viewtopic.php?p=173963#p173963Cyrlaur wrote:It's available as mentioned here : viewtopic.php?f=130&t=1026&start=645
