Ignore that error when you get it, which is common.

Well, I might as well keep talking to myself here in the middle of the night, but something is seriously off with sorting the playlists. Now that I finally finished organizing my over 600 playlists into folders (with nothing in the root folder), sorting works both ways...until it doesn't. Meaning that sorting a folder ascending might look like it's sorted in alphabetical order, but suddenly there's a jump. Look at this (this is a snippet from my Artists folder):

It actually starts at the beginning of the list at Astral Projection, then goes alphabetically to almost to the end of playlists starting with G (skipping some playlists no, actually that entire 12 Moons - Asia 2001 section should be in alphabetical order at the beginning of the folder, before Astral Projection) then jumps back to Asia 2001 and it actually goes in reverse alphabetical (descending) order until 12 Moons, then continues again from Gus Till in what seems like a proper alphabetical order until the end of the folder. This doesn't happen with all folders though (at least as far as I can tell) and how the playlists are actually sorted varies quite randomly (or at least not following any pattern I can figure out).
Another weird side effect of sorting is that sorting one folder has a high possibility to cause another random folder to go into a random sorting order. And when you go and sort that folder it messes up another folder and so on and so on.

I have to admit i created my folders and dont really need to create new ones for my library so i'm not testing that functionality. Still, i'm surprised it's common. Can you describe the situation in which you have this error ?

New version :
Playlist Organizer (Jscript Panel 3)
v1.6.0
28-03-2023

- implemented a search functionality : Triggering it using shift, closing it using shift again. Search starts at the third character.
@frogworth : let me know what you think and how to improve it (i need to make sure the scroll goes to the selected item).

thanks for the feedback, another thing is if you delete a char in the inputbox, using backspace (by example), i dont think the search happens. I'll check that out tonight.

In my case it almost never crashes now.
But I'm surprised some people are still crashing.

• the ability to search within a playlist name
• the backspace key works
• Inputbox color will change to green is search is successfull (and not this is not customisable)
• the selection will now jump to the searched playlist

I've looked at 2 things :
What you called the "Selected playlist clashes with the top bar in some cases"
I didnt manage to find the source of the issue (hopefully yet) but i was able to reproduce.

And the sort functionality.
I was not able to reproduce the issue, i created a big folder with 30 playlists, put some random numbers in front of some, and the sort works as designed, both ways.

Regarding the selection bar not centered around the playlist name, i'm not sure i can do anything about it as it kind of is dependant of the font you choose. Can you try the Segoe UI for me and let me know if it's well centered ?

@paul Eye : can you please give a bit of context for these crashes you experienced ?
Thanks

Okay, good to know.

Thanks for the latest update, @etip!
The search itself is working very well.
But I'm personally finding that backspace still doesn't work?
Also, the view for me doesn't successfully scroll to the selected playlist - it seems to mostly jump right to the bottom of my panel.
Anything I can do test/demo this? I can take a peek at the code in a few days but not right now.

yes the jump is funky. i'll investigate.
Can you describe the backspace ? can't you edit the search text with (it deletes the previous char) or it doesnt search when you hit the backspace button ?
thanks

function on_key_down(vkey) {
	console.log("on_key_down", vkey);
}

function on_char(code) {
	console.log("on_char", code);
}

on_key_down 8
on_char 8

If you're using using DUI, it might be interesting to test CUI or vice versa??

Tbh, @etip I would strongly prefer to remove the up and down arrows at the top and bottom of the panel, giving more vertical space, and replace with a scrollbar, which I saw does exist in some Jscript Panel 3 samples.
I realise this isn't your preference though.

- bug fixes : Display of a selected folder/playlist in the header area (@paul eye : It should be ok now)
