Totem playlist needs search
Last modified: 2009-12-15 19:34:35 UTC
The new totem playlist pictured here: http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/gnome-2- 12/images/totem-sidebar.png could use a search function filter, like Kaffeine's. That means I could just dump a directory in their and have it function like a media library--in fact, the ONLY media library for Gnome. KDe has kaffeine, so Gnome needs somehting to play and archive videos and mp3s :) Other information: THis would only be useful if the new totem playlist was saved when you close and reopen Totem. I can't remember if it does.
I think it's better for the ui to be clean and have type-ahead search back. We had it with the playlist before when it was out the window right ? Today I tried to type-ahead on my upgraded totem and I made my window fullscreen, toggled some other option and stopped and replayed playback :s I think those keys should not be interpreted when the playlist widget has focus.
The problem with type ahead find is that it isn't a boolean search, so only the beginning of a title is found. I wouldn't have a problem wiht type-ahead find if it was tho.
I think that at least the gtk-search-as-you-type thing should work, but the keys shouldn't go to the totem-window when the playlist is selected then.
Created attachment 75518 [details] [review] totem-try-better-typeahead.patch This is a patch to try and pass all the key presses to the playlist if it's focused, the problem being that clicking on the treeview doesn't give it keyboard focus, which means it acts real weird.

Created attachment 149792 [details] [review] Make 'Escape' pass the focus away from the playlist To the video widget. We need some hacking to avoid pinching key release events when pressing escape to dismiss a menu, or the type-ahead popup.
