search and filter based on path

Asked by RIPces

Amarok filters based on path as well..

Suppose my music collection hierarchy is ..

English
Rock
Metallica
GNR
...
Pop
MJ
Timbaland
Trance
...

Supposing that i load this as my Library/Collection..
searching for Rock would retain all songs that had 'rock' in its filename/path...
This would return Metallica,GNR and all songs in them recursively...
and deleting the search word would return the entire collection

This is in addition to normal matches with album name, artist , song name etc...

I find it the best feature in Amarok and WMP11 came close.. but Amarok is the one with this killer feature...

is this already supported in Exaile? i couldnt get it working

i tried rythmbox, banshee and none of them do it

thanks

Probably not, to keep the collection searching fast.

Can you help with this problem?
