Allow resizing of Edit Match window or add search/filter bar

[DesertCookie]

Having to deal with a lot of shows that have hundreds of episodes, sometimes in dozens of seasons, the current edit match window is very cumbersome to use.

• If it could be resized by the user to show more than (currently) eight entries, this would help with accidentally scrolling past the episode you are looking for.
  Furthermore, adding a search bar to quickly filter by episode names containing a phrase, or additional filters such as only showing episodes of a certain season would also help greatly.

The series in question that often grind my gears are Tatort (1970) (https://thetvdb.com/series/tatort), Terra X (1982) (https://thetvdb.com/series/terra-x), and Die Sendung mit der Maus (1971) (https://thetvdb.com/series/153241-show) which are all still running with monthly or even weekly instalments, meaning they have hundreds of lines in the Edit Match window.

What specific file paths do you have problems with? Why do you use Edit Match? Do you get mismatched due to bad numbering, bad naming, something else? Please include sample file paths as text. Please read How to Request Help for details.


Presumably, you are referring to Manual Matching:

If FileBot does not automatically match the correct Episode or Movie for any given file, then you can manually select the correct Episode (or multiple episodes for multi-episode files) or Movie instead via Double-Click ➔ Edit Match.

Presumably, you know the correct episode title, so the best way to find the matching episode is to just use find-as-you-type to have FileBot find it for you:

CTRL+M ... Edit Match
CTRL+N ... Edit Name

A-Z ... Start find-as-you-type (case-insensitive; SPACE matches all non-word characters)
LEFT ARROW ... Select previous find-as-you-type match
RIGHT ARROW ... Select next find-as-you-type match
ENTER ... Confirm Selection
ESCAPE ... Cancel Selection

Alternatively, you can find the matching episode in the Episodes tool (also supports find-as-you-type) and then copy & paste the Episode item from there:
