Function search with recently used and pinned entries · original app view with demo tracks

Open and closeLink to “Open and close”

Ctrl+K opens the function search anywhere, even over an open dialogue; pressing Ctrl+K again or Esc closes it. Alternatively, click “Search features” at the top right or choose View → “Function search”. On macOS, use ⌘ instead of Ctrl.

FindLink to “Find”

Just start typing. The search forgives typos, missing accents and abbreviations (“quikc fix” finds Quick Fixes) and also knows other words for the same function. Results are grouped:

Recent and Pinned
Appear as long as the search field is empty
Current selection
Actions for the selected tracks
Pages and commands
Every page of the bar and commands such as “Analyse” or “Recipes”, with their location in the app
Settings
Individual settings such as “Theme” or “Protect target grids”; Enter opens the matching section and jumps to the setting
Playlists, tracks, artists and albums
From your library

Use ↑ ↓ to choose, Enter to run. Commands that delete something or change a lot ask first or open their own confirmation.

Pinned and recentLink to “Pinned and recent”

Ctrl+P pins the selected entry or unpins it again. Pinned entries appear at the top of the search and on the Start page, as do the most recently used ones. Sonodex remembers both across restarts.

Start page · original app view with demo tracks
  • Search field: the same as the function search.
  • Library in numbers: tracks, playing time, tracks in Incoming, playlists & smartlists and how much has been analysed.
  • Next steps: for example “… new tracks in Incoming” with “Open Incoming”, “… tracks not yet analysed” with “Analyse” or “Library not yet checked” with “Check now”.
  • Pinned and Recently used, plus Quick access to frequently used pages.
  • All features: every feature with a short description and where to find it.

Something missing or wrong? Let us know. The app interface is available in English and German.
