Hiya,

I have a crazy-large queue, which I usually use as a bucket for everything I plan to download 'one day' in the (distant) future.  

So, I'm finding it difficult to navigate my queue and resume / set options for something specific I may have added to it weeks / months ago.  

I would like to be able to search the queue (much like the history search feature of plush) based on full / partials / wildcards  ( / regex - only kidding, this would be overkill...).  
So, if I want to resume episode 17 of a certain series (featuring an Agent Scully ) that I recall possibly adding months ago, I could simply search 17 & filter the view to everything containing '17.'  
Maybe I could search by a partial episode name (search 'green' for 'Little Green Men', etc), or by series ('Files S03')

I would also like to be able to filter my view of the queue based on category (without sorting the queue permanently) - so that I could, e.g.; see all anime, or ebooks, etc.  
This way, combined with the latest 'multi-select' feature (& even it's 'select all' being applied to the currently filtered view), I can perform bulk actions on the filtered queue (e.g. resume all movies, change priority of all ebooks, etc)


Ultimately, I would like to see this extended in future (sometime) to a semi-automated full tagging system.  

I could for example, search for anything I want (even based on partials), add tags to any I've then selected (esp. in bulk using the new 'multi-select'), and then be able to filter my views & do interesting things to entire groups of items as I see fit!  
I could assign 'rock,' 'classical,' 'soundtrack,' to my music, & then also tag some of them as 'flac' & 'lossy'.  I can then isolate them, & perform actions on them as logical groups that mean something to me.

The use of a full tagging system is only limited by our imagination.

What are your thoughts on having such functionality one day in future?

Thanx

Basically, yes! 

It all sounds good! 

Let's all discuss ideas & steps we would need to take to work towards some of these features. 

Is anything like this planned?
My queue is HUGE (~3700 nzbs) so a simple search feature would come in handy =)

Nothing planned, we're a bit short on skin designers.

Here's another vote for a search box for the queue like history. I love the simpl view for it's speed. I have a large queue, around 350+ entries and a search box would help to keep like files grouped easily in order. Right Now I have to use the classic view for the numerical queue numbers, and just do a search on page from my browser. But every time you change a queue entry, you have to wait for a page refresh, which can take 10-15 seconds. On simpl it's much faster, but you only can access a small subset of your queue and no way to search like you can in history.

We're not going to improve smpl any further, it's a dead end because it's very hard to maintain.
Any improvements will be in Plush or its successor, whenever it arrives.
