Folder Library — FeedBack Plugin

A FeedBack (fee[dB]ack) plugin that organizes your .sloppak / .feedpak DLC songs into a folder tree, grouped by the folders on disk. Browse your whole library visually with album art, nest folders as deep as you like, switch between list and grid layouts, and manage folders without ever leaving the app.

Status — migrating to core. Folder Library is being reworked from a standalone plugin into a bundled core plugin, and several previously-shipped features are not currently wired up in core (see the Roadmap). The list below reflects what works today; if something here is wrong, it's because this rework is still in progress.

Features

• List & Grid views — toggle between a compact list with thumbnails or a full album art card grid
• Album art — pulls art automatically for every song in both views
• One-click playback — click any song to start playing immediately
• Sort options — sort songs by title, artist, duration, year, tuning, or recently added with an asc/desc toggle
• Advanced filters — filter by arrangements, stems, lyrics, and tuning with include and exclude support
• Folder management — create, rename, and delete folders without leaving the plugin
• Nested subfolders — organize as deep as you want; create a subfolder inside any folder, expand/collapse a whole branch in one click
• Collapsible folders — expand/collapse individual folders, plus Expand All / Collapse All
• Move songs — reassign any song to a different folder on the fly; press Esc to cancel
• Drag-and-drop — drag songs between folders (including into nested folders) with smooth auto-scroll; press Esc to cancel
• Fast with big libraries — folder song lists render lazily and metadata is cached so reopening folders is instant

Installation

Folder Library ships bundled with FeedBack as a core plugin ("bundled": true), so there's nothing to install — the Folders screen appears in the navbar under Plugins automatically.

Changelog

Folder Library started life as a standalone plugin with its own version line, but it's now a bundled core plugin that ships with FeedBack. Its changes are tracked alongside the app in the repo-root CHANGELOG.md, and it versions with the app rather than on its own. The Features section above reflects what's in the current build.

Roadmap

• Auto play song on hover (with an on/off toggle)
• Bulk move — select multiple songs and move them at once
• Thumbnail performance — faster loading and smoother scrolling with large song libraries
• Adjustable thumbnail and row sizes — resize song cards and list rows to suit your preference
• Custom themes — switch between colour schemes to match your style
• Favoriting songs
• Editing song metadata
