Playlist Features

[itguy]

I understand that the main focus of VLC is video hence the name
and that all these have prob already been requested but please hear me out

all tested using 1.0.3 final and 1.0.3 11/12 nightly under windows 7

SKINS MODE PLAYLIST fyi

In skins mode the playlist is seriously lacking here are some basic features that don't work or need to be added
1. Fix highlighting of file playing - highlight the file that is playing
2. Fix sorting of playlists - doesn't do anything right now
3. Fix remove from playlist - doesn’t work frequently when using a flat playlist
4. Add support for numbering of files in flat playlist mode
5. Remove Media Library from playlist and create separate playtree for it - it just is to complex with everything in the same tree
6. Clear playlist when adding a new file unless Enqueuing option is on
7. Add display of files time - in the playlist window next to the name of the file like "Name 3:30"
8. Add support for display of playlist total time - something like this "3:30/12:40" if a 3:30 song is selected
9. Right-click playlist management - add/remove/sort/etc
10. Fix the adding of files to playlist
Adding a folder displays in the correct order "sometimes uses the name sometimes the tag even with same file type"
Selecting multiple files in a folder and adding them displays in wrong order some tracks use files names some use tags
12. Keep selection on after remove
Have it jump to the next item on the list for the ability to push remove more than once
13. Add support of moving items around / changing the order of playback (not talking about random though)
14. Add support for customizable display of playlist display
For example, playlist could read ID3v2 tag and display Artist – Track – Song or just Artist or maybe the filename. Right now some of the files
display tag info and some display filenames even though all files have correct tags. with multiple artists and song its difficult to keep track of compared with other playlists i've used

thanks for listening just wanted to get it off my back
