* perf(folder_library): render only the songs on screen (#965) A song list rendered EVERY song it held. On a flat 50,944-song library that is one <div> with 50,938 children and ~1,300,000 DOM nodes — ~4.2 GB of renderer RSS, for a screen the user may not even be looking at (it was built while the visible screen was v3-home). It is not just this plugin's problem. A million-node document poisons unrelated code: any `document.querySelector` that MISSES has to walk the whole tree before returning null. That is exactly how song_preview's per-frame menu check ended up consuming ~50% of the renderer and dropping the app to 2.7 fps (feedBack-plugin-song-preview#7 fixes the per-frame walk; this fixes the tree it was walking). So render only what is on screen. Rows are uniform height (grid cards uniform size), so the window is pure arithmetic — no per-row observers. Off-window songs are represented by padding ON THE LIST rather than spacer elements: a spacer div would become a grid ITEM in grid view and shift the columns, whereas padding behaves identically in both layouts. Lists at or below VIRTUAL_MIN (200) render in full exactly as before, so normal folders are untouched. Two ordering fixes this forced, both real bugs waiting to happen: - Both expand handlers populated the list BEFORE showing it. A windowed list measures a real row and the scroller viewport, and both are zero under display:none. Show first, then populate. - _render() now tears down the previous render's scroll listeners. Without it they survive against detached nodes and leak on every re-render. Verified in real Chromium over CDP with 50,000 rows — the DOM glue, not just the maths: at top rendered= 25 rows scrollHeight=2,200,000px [0..24] scroll 500k rendered= 31 rows scrollHeight=2,200,000px [11357..11387] scroll 1,100k rendered= 31 rows scrollHeight=2,200,000px [24994..25024] scroll to end rendered= 25 rows scrollHeight=2,200,000px [49975..49999] 25-31 rows in the DOM instead of 50,000; scroll height exact and constant (the scrollbar stays honest); the last row lands on song 49,999. Tests: _visibleWindow is pure and exposed via __test — top/middle/bottom/past- the-end windows, the grid row-packing case, the padding-plus-rendered-equals- total invariant that keeps the list from changing height as you scroll, and the degenerate zero-height case (a list still display:none) falling back to render-everything rather than to an empty list. eslint clean; full JS suite 1186/1186. * fix(folder_library): re-window on resize and on show/hide (PR #967 review) CodeRabbit caught two real bugs in the first pass. Both are mine. 1. GRID RESIZE. perRow and rows were captured once when the list was filled, but paint() also runs on resize — and resizing changes the grid's column count. The window maths then sliced against the OLD column count: wrong songs on screen, and padding sized for a row count the layout no longer had (so the scrollbar lied). metrics() now recomputes perRow/itemH/rows together on every paint, so the geometry can never disagree with itself. 2. STALE WINDOWS ON SHOW/HIDE. paint() only ran on scroll and resize. Expanding or collapsing any section moves every list below it, and a windowed list's contents are a function of its POSITION — so those lists kept the window from their old position and showed blank padding where songs should be until the user happened to scroll. Both toggles now call _repaintVirtualLists(). Re-opening an already-populated section had the same flaw. Collapsed lists also kept doing layout work on every scroll tick. paint() now bails early when the list is display:none or detached, and forgets its last window so re-showing repaints from scratch instead of short-circuiting on a stale memo. Tests: grid re-window on a column-count change, the padding+rendered=rows invariant at two different perRow values, and a test that PINS THE FAILURE MODE — a mismatched perRow/rows pair must not silently look correct. 12/12. Re-validated the DOM glue in real Chromium with 50k rows (25-31 rows rendered, scroll height exact). eslint clean; JS 1189/1189; pytest 2597 passed. CHANGELOG entry added (also flagged). |

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.
Screenshots
Grid view — album art cards with title and artist
Live search filters instantly across all folders
List view — compact rows with album art thumbnails and duration
Create and manage folders directly in the UI
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
Escto cancel - Drag-and-drop — drag songs between folders (including into nested folders) with smooth auto-scroll; press
Escto 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.

| Cancel a drag | Press Esc while holding a song |
| Cancel a move dialog | Press Esc in the move prompt |
| Expand / collapse a folder | Click the folder header |
| Expand / collapse all subfolders | Use the expand/collapse-children buttons on a folder with subfolders |
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
