Spotlight Integration and quick bin access (Mac OS X)

[gardenIMPERIVM]

Perhaps this is an old battle here on the boards, but I consider one of Live's greatest weaknesses to be its horribly slow and simplistic search functionality. I have a large sample library and an even larger music library and navigating them manually in Live's browser is a pain. Using search is simply unfeasible - it takes forever and doesn't always provide the results I want.

If there were a way to integrate Live with a Mac's spotlight database, we'd have a really powerful browser. As it is, I often resort to using a Finder window in lieu of Live's file browser (fortunately I have a second monitor), but this doesn't allow for auditioning, etc.

While I'm at it, a project bin sidebar on the left (providing quick access to every audio file, session clip, and arrangement region in the project) would be very useful.

A big plus for Spotlight, it's sooo slow now...
