Default [FR] Some Improvements of Media Explorer

What's the Improvements
1. Adding an action to "Focus to the Search Bar" in Media Explorer Section
2. Saving the Search Result as a new database for reusing.

Why adding these features
As a Sound Designer, I'll do many times of searching everyday, and trying to get appropriate sound materials from thousands of sound effects.
So, if I can just Press a key to FOCUS to the search bar (and automatically select all characters), it'll massively boost my efficiency.
In a word, a new ACTION in {Action List}.

And some common key words are very common, I may search them many times(like "foley", "whoosh" and "cloth"), so [Creating a database from Search Result] could be so convenient.
Since the ReaperFileList file is actually a text file which stores the audio files list, I guess generating a new file list from results may be not hard, too?
(At least.. a search history, please ? )

That's all, Thank you for viewing! ; )

Oh thx!
And as far as I know, We CAN drag part of the wav file into project now, just select a time selection in preview window and drag it ; )
Or did I misunderstand something ?

1. Can do this already

2. Can do this if you set your browser to use windows explorer. However, you can't do this in search windows / databases
