digikam with amarok quick-filter

digikam with amarok quick-filter should look like this

as You can see albums with mp3 are very simmiliar to albums with photos so the mechanism which makes amarok so succesful should be IMHO implemmented in digikam.
In this screenshots i just wanted to have only the band's that have "strachy" as part of their names (case insensitive) so when I want to listen to my favourite band "Strachy na Lachy" i just have to do 3 quick things - open amarok, write strachy in quickfilter and dragg-to-right-panel or double click the albums to listen

are You sure what i ment?

Seb,

Yes of course. no problem, but we finalize 0.9.1 release. We will working on search part later

Gilles

ahh ok , I just thought You misunderstood the idea.

thx for ur good work

*** Bug 149100 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Note that this is technically (from the type of code needed)
essentially the same as
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146364

Gilles, do you think that one can easily extract a filter widget
out of the right-side bar comments/tags association
which has the tree display + plus the text filter at the bottom?
(Generally I would think it would be could to have the text filtering
at the bottom, as in view of 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149555
there a search box at the top would make sense )

Really great feature, few comments though:

- everywhere else I can think of in KDE it is case insensitive and for
  good reasons: this is quick'n'dirty thing, no time to think about
  capitalization and pressing of Shift; the only place where it is
  configurable is KPDF/Okular and only there it should be. Please make
  it case insensitive and not configurable

- you can easily forget how great this little black KDE invention is,
  unless  it is not there. Please add widget for clearing of this field.

- Some indication what is this also would be nice. Text label (not
  tooltip) could be bloating already crowded status bar but small loupe
  like for search?

Once again thanks.

I'm agree with Mikolaj, I think it should be case insensitive.
Using the quick search text field (in the bottom bar) I can filter the images in the selected album, which is great.

I think that it would be convenient to have also some way to filter the album tree in a similar way, just filtering the album names with some text.

For example: The idea is that, if I have the following albums:
AlbumAAA
AlbumAAB
AlbumCCC

If I enter in the filter for the album tree: aa
only the albums: AlbumAAA and AlbumAAB should be listed on the tree.

I agree with Antonio but anyway thx so much for this feature :)

- case insensitive: yes
- clearing the field: yes please
- loupe: nice idea

Antonio, concerning the album tree filter, see also bug 146364.
With a new widget, this should be easy to do both for tags and albums
(and yes, I think it would be a great feature!).

Another icon which could be used is those kitchen utensil - funnel - 
used everywhere where KDE filters things. There are already loupes in 
digiKam interface and another could create confusion.

When placed on the left it could apply its meaning to all filters placed 
in status bar: text, mime (sorry file type ;), rating.
