[feature request] *partial match* on *full path* #169

Open liar666 opened 2 weeks ago

Hi,

Thanks for the very nice tool. I used Nostalgy++ for a while, but I prefer your tool for the beautiful GUI and its ability to handle correctly custom key bindings.

However, there a thing that I miss a lot from Notalgy++, is the ability to match full path of directories and even with partial match.

e.g. I'm a teacher. There are several courses I teach every year. I teach courses with similar titles to various audiences. So I have a directory structure similar to: // ; example : 2024-2025/Master/job.

When I select a target directory for batch moving emails, I would like to be able to type "25 ma jo" and get this examples directory selected over all the other ones.

This seems reasonable. The search code is here, and would need to be modified to match on parts. Note this gets called a lot, so performance optimization is key. I'm marking this as a good first bug in case anyone wants to pick it up.
