Lmms: ignore capitals in Token-search

Created on 1 Apr 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: LMMS/lmms

Sometimes i find it difficult to find a resource, even though i can remember its name. The reason is that LMMS make distinktion between capital letters and small letters.
So where it would be logical that 'Horn01' and 'horn02' was listet directly after each other, they wont be if we have a series of 'Hot xyz' named resources.
I suggest that capitals in names/ labels are ignored in Token-search-listings.
(May bee an accessibility related thing as well)

good first issue gui poll

Currently, it looks like this(case-sensitive):

AB.wav
Ba.wav
aa.wav
bb.wav

The suggestion is(case insensitive):

aa.wav
AB.wav
Ba.wav
bb.wav

I think it should be easy to change the behavior because QDir::entryList have an option to ignore cases when sorting. However, I'm not sure if all people think the latter behavior is desired.

There are several different options:

  • :laughing:: Keep the current behavior
  • :eyes:: Ignore case when sorting(change to the latter behavior)
  • :heart:: Add an option to allow users to change the behavior
  • :confused:: Any other suggestions

Please let me know user opinion!

yes, an option for user to decide, is a brilliant idea!

Add an option to allow users to change the behavior

@musikBear I'll add a vote for you for :heart:. For the record though, my vote is :eyes: :)

@SecondFlight Thanks! :+1

Definitely change it. When you have a ton of presets, it ends up looking like its been alphabetized twice (first all the caps, then the lowercase), which makes finding the preset/sample you want harder than it needs to be.
