Searchable Media Bin:It would be great to be able to search for media by typing in the name or part there of. Like how the actor tool box has a search function. It would be useful when working with shows that have 100s of media files to be able to find that one I am looking for.
I'll log this but in the meantime, I made you a User Actor that does this: actors-user-media-search-by-name-user-actor-2024-05-09-3.2.6.zip
I'd be interested to know how slow/fast feels in a patch with hundreds of media files. Currently, there's a delay of 0.001 (originally 0.02) before it will check the next item in the list just to allow for things to operate, so theoretically it can search at a rate of 1,000 items per second. If you go inside the User Actor and want to understand how it works, there's a Comment actor by a Trigger Delay actor that explains how to slow down the process so you can see each step happen instead of it all happening in a fraction of a second.
The guts are a bit messy, but it's the best I could do without resorting to using Set/Get Global Values actors or Broadcasters (because using either of those means multiple instances of the User Actor in the same Scene would cause problems for each other unless I used Set/Get Global Values, gave the User Actor a new input for a prefix, and forced the user to give a unique identifier to each instance of the User Actor by appending the prefix to each of the global names with a Text Formatter actor).
Many thanks to @liminal_andy for the Javascript in my Text Comparator Expanded User Actor that sits at the heart of this whole operation <3
