[feature request] local file search with multiple directories #193

Open SUCM opened 1 year ago

SUCM commented 1 year ago

Hi,

is it possible to specify multiple directories for local file search of existing lyric file? for example, I use below pattern to specify 2 different directories, separated by ||, to look for lyrics with Lyric Show Modoki. would be great if config of the directories for OpenLyrics to look for lyrics files (like read-only mode) and directory for OpenLyrics to save lyrics file can be separated

$directory_path(%path%)\lyrics\$replace(%title%,\,,/,,,,?,,",,<,,>,,|,,:,)||$directory_path(%path%)..\lyrics\$replace(%title%,\,,/,,,,?,,",,<,,>,,|,,:,)

Potentially, although it seems unlikely to be worthwhile. What about your setup prevents you from using a single directory?

SUCM commented 1 year ago

on my setup, I typically have structures like below, so there are 2 possible directory structures to look for lyrics based on where the song is. the other thing is that I want to make sure OpenLyric will never overwrite the lyrics file (due to bugs or found some online lyrics) that I already adjusted in the album directory

for single disc albums

album_directory/lyrics/song1.lrc
album_directory/lyrics/song2.lrc
album_directory/lyrics/song3.lrc
album_directory/song1.flac
album_directory/song2.flac
album_directory/song3.flac

for album with more than 1 discs

album_directory/lyrics/song1.lrc
album_directory/lyrics/song2.lrc
album_directory/lyrics/song3.lrc
album_directory/disc1/song1.flac
album_directory/disc1/song2.flac
album_directory/disc1/song3.flac
album_directory/disc2/song4.flac
album_directory/disc2/song5.flac
album_directory/disc2/song6.flac
album_directory/disc3/song7.flac
album_directory/disc3/song8.flac
album_directory/disc3/song9.flac

Fair enough, that seems reasonable. The functionality itself should be fairly simple, but the UI for configuring it will probably be rather more involved.

I remember the old lyric3 would let you double click on the Local File Search to pop up a configuration panel for it. perhaps you can have a panel similar to the searching order but takes 1 directory pattern per line (or item) for Local File Search
