Pick Tray

Problem

Favorites are permanent, but users often need a lightweight, ephemeral shortlist while browsing — flagging items of interest without committing to a permanent collection.

Solution

Press P to pick (flag) any hovered cell. An orange flag icon appears on picked cells. The picks drawer shows thumbnails of all picked items. Filter the grid to show only picks, or clear all picks when the session is done.

Tier Availability

  • Free: Not available.
  • Plus / Pro: Full Pick Tray with drawer, grid filter, and clear-all.

UI Flow

  1. Hover over a cell and press P to pick it (or right-click > Pick).
  2. Press P again to unpick.
  3. Open the picks drawer (flag icon in toolbar) to browse thumbnails.
  4. Click “Show Picks as Grid” to filter, or “Clear All Picks” to reset.

Known Limitations

  • Picks persist via UserDefaults across restarts but are designed to be cleared frequently.
  • Picks are session-oriented; for permanent marking, use Favorites.

Marketing One-Liner

Flag media on the fly with a single keypress — Pick Tray is your ephemeral shortlist for browsing sessions.
