The file/folder/library browser could be enhanced with the following: Keep the "Filter" bar on top of the screen always while scrolling down the list. It's annoying that whith a long list of files you have to endlessly scroll back to the top to get access to the filter bar. A more efficient way to select multiple files/folders. Currently you have to counter-intuitively enter the main menu and select "add to list" to start selecting multiple files. It could be done by: swiping a file/folder/name to the right (adding the '+' selection sign to it and starting multiple selection mode; swiping to the left removes the selection) and then following files/folders/names may be selected by just clicking them as it works today. Add a context menu (click and hold over a file/folder/name) item for "Multiple select". In Folder view: Filter files/folders should also act over folder paths (not just the file name). This way, if I want to select all folders for an artist, say "Lindsey Stirling", I may filter for "Lindsey" and then just play/queue/add-to-a-list them all at once, instead of having to browse for each and every album name and add it to a list one at a time. A way to easily export filtered files to m3u/pls playlists instead of having to post-edit lists exported from the Settings menu o by external apps like 'Playlist Backup'. Also, more tolerance in swipe down/up/right/left over album cover, which skips track/changes playlist.. I would expect the skip track function to be much more common (indeed it is) than the skip playlist, so the swiping angle may be much wider for left/right than it is for up/down (120° left/120°right vs. 60°up/60°down). This is especially relevant when using the Block screen option (and even a disable "cover swipe in Block screen" would be a better option imho).

A manual "File Browser" (as an on-the-fly alternative to scanning)
haddy posted a topic in Feature Requests
Hi, Is anyone privy to the idea of PowerMP having it's own manual 'File Explorer'? A File Explorer would simply be afile-manager-like feature that would be accessible from within PowerMP's 'folders' screen and would allow for manual file browsing of the whole of a user's Android system (just like a file-manager) except that this File Explorer within PowerMP would be heavily cut-down in file-manager features and would also be auto-filtered to only recognize Media file-extensions (audio/video and playlist files) and no others...Perhaps with user settings to configure what file-extensions are filtered .ogg, .mp3, .m4a etc So if a song is opened from an external file-manager like ASTRO, into PowerMP then upon clicking on song info the user would be taken to this proposed File Explorer view (Folders screen, not Library screen). Also a PowerMP manual 'File Explorer' could support "Lazy loading" of files i.e. files loaded in a folder slowly appear and not fast-scanned conventionally. Many video players apps (ffmpeg ones) on Android offer their own 'File Explorer' most notably MoboPlayer and RockPlayer. The feature request of this topic would consolidate with and certainly address the issues of these two topics: http://forum.poweram...__fromsearch__1 http://forum.poweram...__fromsearch__1
