File Browser1562809 i686
x86_64		Simple file browser, based on Geany's treebrowser plugin

Project homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/deadbeef-fb
Issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/zykure/deadbeef-fb/issues

BOOKMARKS:
If you don't want to use GTK bookmarks, you can create your own
bookmarks file to be used only by the filebrowser
(default file: ~/.config/deadbeef/bookmarks).

SEARCH BEHAVIOR:
By default, the search bar filters the items visible in the tree by their full
path. When a search text is entered, only those items that contain the text
in their path are shown. When the search is cleared, all items are shown
again. The tree is expanded fully after some number of characters have
been entered into the search bar. Then the filebrowser will traverse the
full directory tree and check every file inside it. Note that this can take
a long time on large trees. The number of characters to trigger this behavior
can be adjusted in the options (default is 5 characters).

COVERART ICONS:
Each directory that is shown in the tree is searched for a coverart image
must have a specific name (like 'cover.jpg'). If it is found, it is shown
instead of the default folder icon. To speed things up, the thumbnail image
is stored to disk inside DeaDBeeF's cache directory.

MOUSECLICK ACTIONS:
There are different mouse-button actions when you click on a tree item:
* left-click to select (drag&drop to add to playlist)
* ctrl + left-click to multi-select
* shift + left-click to range-select (only works on same tree level)
* middle-click to replace append to playlist
* ctrl + middle-click to replace current playlist & start playing
* shift + middle-click to create new playlist
* ctrl + shift + middle-click to create new playlist & start playing
* right-click for popup menu
* double-click to replace current playlist & start playing
* ctrl + double-click to replace current playlist

KEYPRESS ACTIONS:
It is also possible to execute key-press actions inside the tree view:
* left/right to navigate along tree hierarchy (move & expand/collapse)
* return to replace current playlist & start playing
* ctrl + return to replace current playlist
* shift + return to create new playlist & start playing
