I suggest a new feature that might be usefull in xfmedia. It's a sort of search field, a text box above or below the playlist. Entering any text here would select all rows in playlist that contain the entered text. Search should be case insensitive and ignore special characters (commas and underscores). This would be very handy when selecting tracks from randomized or just long playlist. One could for example type a name of an artist here and hit remove to easily remove all tracks from that artist. There should probably be an option to disable/enable this feature, if it slows down the playlist noticeably. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The good hting about this bug is that "jump to file" exacts this function already. So it would be as easy as putting a hook to the pre-written code.
Well, it's not quite that easy, since it'll be a matter of modifying the existing playlist to use a level of abstraction (the filtered GtkTreeModel that sits on top of the "real" GtkListStore), hence my decision to wait until after 0.7.0 (which is way overdue as it is).
Implemented, but this may have created some bugs, so file new ones if you find 'em...
