Hey, Mark, since you're writing a filemanager anyway, could you include the ability to display a truncated tree view?

Flash,

I'm a step further.

Please have a look at this program (you can use it without Puppybrowser)
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=311757#311757

EmbeddedBookmarks shows categories in a tree.
So you could add things like:

- author A
-- book a
-- book b

- author B
-- book a
-- book b
-- book c

Then when you click on a book, Rox-filer would be opened with the corresponding folder.

The tree in this case is not created dynamically from a folderstructure, but it is created from a configfile.

But this file is so simple, that it could be generated by a script, that scans your mp3 folder.

Let me know, if this would be ok for you, then I would write such a script.
It would be interesting to know, how your mp3 folder look like.

Please run this command:
cd /to-your-mp3folder
find . * > /root/MU.txt
gzip /root/MU.txt

Then send me /root/MU.txt.gz attached to a personal message.

Mark

OK, I'll try to get that done sometime this evening and report the results. (It's on a different computer from the one I use online.) Thanks! Smile

ok, received your folder.

Please install EmbeddedBookmarks 0.3.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=303882#303882

Then edit:
/usr/local/EmbeddedBookmarks/audiobook-example/generate-config

You must set here the path of the folder, that contains your books:

I uploaded the pet again, with a small change:
the titles now are sorted alphabetically (the screenshot still shows the older, unsorted version).

OOOH

Mark

I like the look of this Very Happy

Is there a pet for this alphabetical folder search/browser bookmarks thingie?

I just love the intuitive simplicity of alphabetic search

PLEASE..... can this feature be made mainstream, Barry!!

Already done. It's in pups 416/417.
Needs to be tested though.

Maybe I missed something. As far as I could figure out, I still have to click each author individually to see what books are in that author's folder. How do I have it open all the author folders at once, the way Tree shows the library?
