SGF Picker inconvenient for large folders

Open pdeblanc opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

When loading SGFs from a folder containing many SGF files, it takes a while to find the right one.

I haven't done any research into this yet, but if it's possible to use a native file picker, or else some existing file picker widget, that may be a good path forward. Otherwise, I have a few specific suggestions:

  1. Do some kind of speed optimization (e.g. just loading the file list from GoGoD/Database-2020-2021/2021, a database of pro games, takes a second or two currently; that's about 1,700 files)
  2. Allow the list to be sorted by file name
  3. Provide a draggable scroll bar, or some other way of scrolling faster

I might look into #2, but kivy widgets are all kind of from scratch
