Previously During Searching the Connection with mpd client was utilised
to get the title for the files this was slowing the search with large
number of files. Now after adding the Title field to the struct the
Field is accessed instead of querying the server this has lead to faster
searches.
[[ Please Note the Title of a Folder would be the last accessed
track from the FileMap. ]]
Searching the Global Database although is enough but I have felt a need to have a
quick and fast search option to search the current buffer.
Buffer Search is also one of the views It can be only turned on if the File Browser
has focus. ( Thinking of making it global ). The Searching is done
through the fuzzy module. FileNode now implements the Source Interface.
The Changed Function of the Search Bar checks for text changes and then
modifies the Matches Variable which is used by the Update Function to
Draw the Results. The Results have the Matching Characters Highlighted
Differently. Maximum of 15 results are displayed to avoid lag. Upon
Selecting the Result through the Search Bar navigation is possible and
selection of the item is done the same way it works for file Browser.
After Selection the Focus is returned Back to the File Browser. For The
Tracks only the title is used for searching.
Globals are no longer needed instead I am connecting each part with (
what were previously ) globals. Also Renaming SetRenderer to
ConnectRenderer which describes the name more precisely
Previously I was using the InsidePlaylist and InsideSearchView boolean
values which was a very hacky and unscalable way. Instead I am using a
focus map which can be queried to check which view has focus. Also the
Pages Implementation is kind of on hold because it has a lot of problems
for e.g resizing doesn't seem to work as I imagined. I am keeping that
Idea on hold right now.
With the updates in the caching mechanism we check if the file exists in
cache if yes then extractedImagePath now points to that path else
we generate the name for the image and pass the image to extractImage
and it passes the default value if no embedded image was found and
checks in the lastfm api and the rest works the same.
