Collectors Interface would have improved browsing and finding capabilities like:
1) More advanced Filters like file format, bitrate, path, createdate, modifydate etc. Or even custom hasCover:bool

2) An advanced Filtering in Local collection Browser: Finding whole artists (or whatever is set in First level) records, if at least one matching record found. E.g. Looking Thriller would find ALL Michael Jacksons songs.
A more advanced case: filtering with “playcount:<1 age:<1” would find all new songs, recently added to database. In other words – all artists, having new songs recently added. It would be extremely handy, when dealing with duplicates after importing new music to collection. (Might be activated by a magic word in filter??)

3) A count of songs in category would be shown near Artist name under Local collection Browser E.g. Michael Jackson (12) or (12 +2) if 2 new songs recently added.

Improvements in editing:
1) Unified context menus – both Browse and playlist containers menu should have basically the same options like delete/move file, get cover, edit track details.

2) Changed default actions in context container – When dropping song(s) it should offer Edit track details/ Organize files and other actions in first view, not hiding them under More...

3) An improved custom scripts when guessing data from file names. There are very limited number of popular patterns (or users could add their own), using some regexp and database info, file names could be phrased quite precisely. E.g. splitting file name by “/” and “-” and taking look in albums and artists tables, in order determine what meta data it is.
Even if more than 1 possible matches is found, most of them could be embedded as 1-matched-patter per row in Context at drag&drop event. Easy to pick up the best, or target “Manual pattern” if none fits.

4) Double–clicking on titles/albums/etc in playlist could be converted into inputs for inline editing. Much faster than going though track details.


Minimal Look&Feel and interface changes
1) Red border around layout to give feedback – you are in CI

2) Double clicking selection in Browser would replace playlist and start playing at once.

3) Autochanging Playlist layout when in CI.

• Exact finds (both Prodigy and newer than 1day) were bolded
• related:true keyword forced Amarok to find all (in this case Prodigy) songs. Without this keyword, Amarok would find only bolded ones (assuming only these 3 were added in less then 1day).

• You might notice 2 new widgets From file name and auto organize . Default widgets was automatically replaced by these when Collectors mode was turned on. They will be restored when turning off
• Guess from file name widget has tried to auto-guess meta information basted on predefined patterns 2-3 best matches are displayed, others are accessible via Custom pattern....
• In this example first is correct, 2nd - not
• Data that will be changed is bolded. In this case Genre and some Track# will remain from id3
• Layout
  • First line is pattern (%artist/%album-%year/%number - %title) (might be editable, so small changes could be done live???)
  • Then goes block with data that is the same for all items - title, album, etc...
  • Finally goes 2-3 examples of songs, to check if rest data is OK.
