I also request this feature be added - seems to me that if the EQ module already had a drop-down with various (permanent) presets, how difficult could it be to add the functionality to also store a user-created preset or two ??
Add me to that list also. Having just switched from MPC to VLC I'm really missing the 'play next file in folder" functionality. I don't use playlists, and sure, the 'open folder' thing works OK, but it's not quite as friendly.
