Files view: highlight folder containing currently playing/enqueued track #746

Open KillyMXI opened 6 years ago

Description

It's a UX/convenience feature. Currently, it's easy to get lost in a big music folder. Strange breadcrumbs implementation isn't very helpful. And I get used to the way it works (partially) in another player (Hiki) - you always know how to reach to currently played track.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. enqueue and play some tracks
  2. in Files view, navigate through folder structure
  3. try to find where you are with respect to currently played track

You can always use

More from > Folder

In the menue to jump to the folder which contains the playing song.

I can't find this. And I rarely need to jump right there. I'm more interested in a visual anchor (and maybe scroll to the anchor).

Btw, another visual anchor would be nice to have: when user go up in a folder structure, highlight and fade out the folder user just left. Most of the times it is on screen (although making it work all the time would be better), but still it's easy to get lost.
