Feature request: Sorting fields redesign / Genre filter option

[hargut]

It would be nice to have a possibility to sort the music library by genre tag.

For example, I want to listen to genre X, but not to a specific band/artist/album to simply select genre X and then browse through the artists/albums tagged with that genre.

In some earlier version of qmpdclient this was possible, as far as I can remember, but as the option to select "Artist: All" was removed it became impossible to use the "Song filter" to search over the whole library.

My idea would be to eventually "redesign" the filter processing. I think that three colums would be enough, but it would be nice to select via "drop-down" what filters I want to have in which fields. For example to have on the Artist and Album filter the possibility to change this via dropdown to Genre and Year.

Sometimes it happens to me that I'm not able to remember the album title/artist but know some different facts on a song. But filtering with different information is not really easy in qmpdclient.

This would just be an idea, and possibly needs some more discussion what would be good and fast too. Possible that there is already a good way to handle such "requests" but I can't see it right now.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
