Hide *.nfo *.tbn files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like there to be a option or to defaultly hide the nfo and tbn
files for videos as I have all my movies and tv setup like this and creates
triple listing when browsing files.

you talking about the file view?

yes in the file view, I am sorry I did not specify that. for example when you 
are
viewing files you will see the following

|
|-> movie.avi
|-> movie.nfo
|-> movie.tbn
|

So basically everything that's not media? More of a whitelist than a blacklist 
then?

I've compiled a white list. Please indicate which ones should NOT be in this 
list and if 
something is missing, please add to it:

Images:
bmp, jpg, jpeg, gif, png

Audio:
wav, mp3, ogg, ac3, ... .midi LOL

Video:
avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, mkv, mov

I saw THOUSANDS of "common" file extensions when googling for a list, so please 
if this 
isn't enought, list them here!

.tbn and .nfo are two for me

@JDunn82: I think you're misunderstanding the white list vs. black list. A 
black list would be 
a list of extensions you DONT want (like .tbn and .nfo etc) but I think 
freezy's point is that 
its easier to make a WHITE list which would contain extensions you DO want. 
Look at my list of 
extensions and list any extensions you DO use that are not listed there.

Thanks,
Aaron

ya i did misunderstand lol  i cant think of any others to be whitelisted off 
the top
of my head.  question though will there be a way to blacklist whitelisted 
files? for
example I have all my season dvd cover thumbs as .jpg but really don't want them
showing up :)

Yeah, have you seen some apps like Windows Media Player or VLC where when you 
install it, 
during the install process you get to decide what files are associated with it 
and which 
ones aren't? It could be set up like that in your preferences.

Also, I get what you are saying about cover art and I'm thinking that when you 
are using the 
file explorer and searching videos, that only video extensions should show up. 
So when you 
click Music, you would see your Music sources... go into those directories and 
only mp3s 
oggs etc would be visible.

I don't know if you have a PS3 or not, but I connect an external HDD to it 
sometimes and 
watch stuff thats on there. When I'm searching it only shows files that are 
related to what 
I was looking at. Does that make sense?

I found these on xbmc's wiki:

Image extensions:
.cbr, .cbz, .ico, .pcx, .raw, .tif, .tiff, .tga

Audio:
.cdda, .wave, .aiff, .mp2, .wma, .ra, .ram, .dts, .aac, .m4a, .qcp, .avs, .mpc, 
.ape, .shn, 
.alac, .mlp, .amv, .8svx, .qdm2, .tta, .sid, .ym, .nsf, .spc, .gym, .adx, .ast, 
.adp, .dsp, 
.ymf, .hps, .mod, .amf, .669, .dmf, .far, .gdm, .imf, .it, .m15, .med, .okt, 
.s3m, .stm, 
.sfx, .utl, .uni, .xm, aax, .asd, .asr, .ass, .bgw, .bh2pcm, .capdsp, .ccc, 
.dcs, .de2, 
.emff, .fag, .gbts, .gca, .gsb, .idsp, .idvi, .isd, .joe, .kraw, .mihb, .msvp, 
.mwv, .omu, 
.p2bt, .pdt, .rnd, .rwar, .rwav, .sap, .seg, .smp, .spd, .spsd, .spsd, .spw, 
.ss7, .ssm, 
.thp, .vgs, .vs, .waa, .wac, .wad, .wam, .xa2, .xmu, .xsf, .xvas, .ydsp, .ymf, 
.zwdsp

Video:
.rv, .rmvb, .svcd, .dvd, .dv, .ty, .xvid, .divx, .wmv, .3ivx, .3vi1, .smc, 
.qdrw, .avs, 
.nuv, .viv, .yuv, cyuv, .cvid, .asv1, .asv2, .qpeg, .vixl, .wnv1, .loco, .tscc, 
.ulti, 
.aasc, .fli, .flc

... and this is just the extensions I could figure out from their wiki. Some of 
them are 
codecs and not file extensions. Since there is such an exhaustive list of 
different file 
types that can be supported, I'm thinking that we should also allow the user to 
add custom 
white list extensions.

Any timeframe for this featuer?

I'll try to get this done by the end of the week! Is the given list ok?

Hi, I've actually done this awhile back but didn't have the time to check & 
submit the 
patch. Hopefully there is no duplication of work with Stefan.

I've added the "filter" in fillUp() of the FileListController class. Basically, 
it 
checks the type of the file list (mMediaType) against the media type set by the 
FileLocation class. 

The "white list" is really those extensions already listed in setMediaType() of 
the 
FileLocation class. Any missing extensions can be easily added there, though I 
think 
the default (listed below) is quite sufficient.

Music:
mp3, ogg, flac and m4a

Video:
avi, mov, flv, mkv, wmv, mp4

Pics:
jpg, jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tbn

Sorry lewin, I needed to clear my head from this project a few days. Your patch 
looks 
good but I think those extensions are defined at another place as well (need to 
fix 
that).

Will review and then commit. Thanks, really appreciated! :)
