Last post by Revup67 -The Library Viewer option has been there at the bottom of the Media Library page practically forever. It's the 'Enabled' button under the big 'Library viewer selection playlist' headline: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=File:Foobar2000-Preferences-medialibrary.png.Thanks for the rephrasing the suggestion, 'Enabled' was in fact checked. I shall be more specific on how the Zero'ing out the Playlist occurs. I've now two different results when pressing Enter after the Search criteria string is typed. To test on your end,
Does the library search not work like it should for you? It's supposed to show the results of your query in realtime as you type. If the preview dialog is empty it means there are no entries matching your query. Of course it also says how many tracks the query returns in the title bar.
I can't replicate Ctrl+Z not working. I can do multiple searches and hit enter to replace my playlist with the results. Just hit Ctrl+Z as many times as playlist results got replaced and you are back with the contents you started with.
Scenario 1: create a Playlist with 5 different tracks from different Artists. Note any 'unique' keyword in any of the 5 tracks. With that Playlist engaged (focused aka double clicked), type in your selection of a word string within those 5 tracks for Library Search and press 'enter'. The playlist now Populates with any matching criteria from the 'entire' library and wipes out the playlist as it was just prior.
Scenario 2: repeat the above with one exception, choose a word that is not within the entire Library such as 'non-sense' press Enter, the entire playlist is wiped out to Zero.
I can confirm CTRL+Z works after pressing "Enter" however the end user must refocus their mouse by clicking anywhere on screen where the Playlist results appear (even if none are shown) and Then perform a CTRL+Z. This exact sequence of events returned the Playlist to the previous list as expected. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a Right Click option on the Playlist to perform an Undo.
Lastly, the comment you'd mentioned about the results after conducting a Search do appear in real time but for many of us, we still hit the Enter key. Hope that helps - thanks
