Hi Maciej,

It looks quite good. It looks way more user friendly and the fact that
it updates instantly. I have not tested how it behaves if there are
parts with the same name.

But I noticed that the toolbar form the left just seems to have been
moved on the right and filling 50%, I guess that is just an
intermediate commit.

But I wonder if the filter should be able to also consider the library
name. Currently it seems to only consider the parts. For example if I
write the exact name for my library it will not show up in the tree
view. It is quite usefull that you can position the tree view
whereever you want. Just an idea, would it make sense that it can be
closed, sort of like with the layer manager in pcbnew.
