it's a mess if you need to set up missing data here and have to scroll through that enormous list just to set 1 language. i have to set a huge amount of meta data by hand for my offline media, so this would really help me in my progress.
i've tried to trim down the xml i found in langs\Languages.xml but that seems not to affect this dropdown list(s).
if this isn't possible, what about instead of a drop down list simply have a label field here where i can type in the needed language?
i'm really typing faster "German" or "English" than i can scroll though that list
e.g.:
- current behaviour: if the language dropdownmenu is open and focused, and i type GER, it jumps to "Rabha", which is the first option starting with the letter R
- suggested behaviour: when typing GER, it should jump to "Gera", which is the first option starting with "GER..". then, if a append an M quickly, it moves on to "German". by that i have found the right option in a vast list with only 4 keypresses.
