Add extra filebrowser presentations

[Clementine-Issue-Importer]

Today clementine have only one presentation of the files — a list. Whan you have a lots of files and directories, it is not sufficient.

It can be useful for the users to create an ability to switch between several filebrowser presentations like "table", "icon view", "list view" and maybe other options.

Yes if would be really good if clementine had proper file browser with detailed view, allowing you to sort directories by name, modification date, size etc (maybe even artist, album, genre, if there is some fast id3 tags reading library)

and perhaps something like Cover-Flow ;-) it IS often a killer-argument for some people to choose one media-player over another...

hmm, ok so this is the reason i hate patents. they block every development and improvement... i understand your point ;-) btw, i love Clementine! also without CoverFlow ;-)

For me cover flow would be the killer argument in a negative way to choose a player, I dislike the idea and mostly when it would be implemented the way to slow down the application.

uhhh in that article (and after some diggin') i can see that its most likely a fraudulent complaint/ruling... and i really doubt Apple would go chase anyone using that particular interface.. specially after the somewhat failure of M$ on the menu/desktop matter.. (the technology is not being copied, but the idea if anything.. and ideas are free..)

In terms of usability it might actually help, but in my case its not the preferred way to browse, although i do use it on nautilus elementary.. i think eyecandy may attract in fact some users :) and I can definetly see a nice clem-flow in a full screen party mode :D so... i know u plainly said "I don't think we'll be implementing cover flow :)" but im tempted to open an [new]issue nevertheles...

so, where are we at with this? The file browser - more than a year later - still doesn't have any extra features. Or does it? Am I missing something?

A simple click option to expand the tree - like in most file browsers - would already be very useful. As far as I am concerned, it would be enough improvement.

In Amarok 1.4 a usually used the creation date in inverse sort order to see my music. This is usuful to listen to the last album you added. But in clementine I don't fine nothing similar.

How can this feature request still be low priority after almost two years? Is it a big thing to add standard file browser capabilities to Clementine?

Like mentioned in Comment 12, who: "used the creation date in inverse sort order to see my music. This is usuful to listen to the last album you added."

Since there already is a file browser..... then... could there not be...

@kaozmotic: It's sill low priority because it's still not so important from our point of view, and that developers have others (more interesting IMHO) things to work on (note that the status is still New, and not Accepted). If it's really important for you, you can have a look to the code and provide us a patch. We would be glad to review it and, hopefully, integrate it :) Otherwise, it's useless to add extra comments to request an enhancement request to be implemented: it will not make the developers implement it faster :p Just star the issue, it's enough ;)

Impossible to find new folders by date. it terribly infuriates. Seriously, is it so difficult to add sorting by name and date at least?

Tree view on files would be really nice.
