I found this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=90614
but this setting is not working anymore. Double-clicking a video in the finder adds it to the playlist, and does not automatically play the item, even when "Auto-playback of new items" is checked.
I want to double-click videos in the finder and have them play automatically. Adding them to a queue is really useless, who browses videos in his manner? Please fix.
YES I already deleted all my vlc settings from my preferences folder.
using: Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2, VLC Version 1.2.0-pre1 Twoflower (Intel 64bit) (nightly build from this morning)
as an aside, Browsing through the bug list I notice a lot of VLC features and settings are not working correctly on Mac, for example forcing video HxW output. I emplore the VLC developers to take more interest in the Mac platform as we do not have a lot of (good) media player options. What I would not give to have MPC or GOM or PotPlayer on my Mac
