Love VLC and have used it for years on OS X.
Would really like to see Media Library folders automatically update their contents. Right now, the only way to update is to remove and add the folder again which is annoying.
If automating this is a pain, I'd opt for a simple UI button or contextual menu command—i.e. right-click the Media Library in the Playlist window and choose "update library", and/or right-click a folder in the Media Library list and choose "update folder contents."
thanks
