This should be possible already: Just search for the things you want and add the result with "Add to Places" to the places panel. Is there something missing? The issue is that when you do this you see the folders show up as folders. The whole point of this idea is that the folder contents are shown, the user doesn't see the folders themselves. So to give an example, say you have this folders that would show up in a search: Folder A: File 1 a File 2 a Folder B: File 1 b File 2 b Folder C: File 1 c File 2 c Under the current system, the user would see: Search Folder: Folder A Folder B Folder C My proposal is for the user to see: Search Folder: File 1 a File 1 b File 1 c File 2 a File 2 b File 2 c Note that this wouldn't replace the existing search, it would be an alternative way to show search results that would only be useful when searching for folders. To clarify, the folder does not just list files, it preserves the structure of the folders. For example: Folder A: File 1 a File 2 a Folder A a: File 1 aa File 2 aa Folder A a: File 1 aaa File 2 aaa Folder B: File 1 b File 2 b Folder B a: File 1 ba File 2 ba Folder B b: File 1 bb File 2 bb Folder C: File 1 c File 2 c The search folder would show: Search Folder: File 1 a File 1 b File 1 c File 2 a File 2 b File 2 c Folder A a: File 1 aa File 2 aa Folder A a: File 1 aaa File 2 aaa Folder B a: File 1 ba File 2 ba Folder B b: File 1 bb File 2 bb Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719 We now have a crude version of this with Dolphin's "Search For" section in the Locations pane: it shows all documents, images, audio filed, or videos. Further enhancements should be tracked with new bugs. |
