I just merged the latest source and gave this a go - very slick, nice job.

One suggestion for a possible improvement. Is there somewhere/how it would be possible to display "where" you are in the treeview, kind of like a breadcrumb type thing? Ideally an actual "path" displayed under the treeview or (less desirable as it requires moving the mouse) a tooltip. So it could display something like \Authors\S\ or \Authors\S\SomeName or whatever when it has scrolled to select an author within the S group.

Why? Because when you have custom groups with the author repeated in you will get multiple matches. You can keep clicking Find to work through them but it you have no idea which "group" you are within. You can identify by icon authors/series etc but not multiple custom groups. I would love it if the Find could be used as a way to check custom group "membership", without all the manual collapsing and scrolling

One further suggestion (yes I should be doing these as tickets). How about a button there somewhere to collapse the treeview?
