Hi,

I've been playing for about 20 minutes now, and I'm unable to add a folder (containing subfolders and music files) to a playlist.

1. dragging and dropping files from explorer onto the playlist does not work. Not for 1 file, not for multiple files, not for folders. There's no "+" showing when hovering over the playlist. Note that this worked 30 miniutes ago with my previous VLC version. I updated to the latest (2.1.3) and this no longer works. It worked with my previous version, although I had to do a search on my folders for "*", and then drag and drop them in chunks onto the list.
2. open folder from the playlist is also not working. It just lists the folder as if it were a music file (which it is not). It does not expand, and I cannot make it expand. I checked the preferences on auto-expand, and they are turned on (default, did not change it)

I have 1 directory with 100's of subdirs with files. The only way to add all of these to the playlist now seems to be to add those 100 folders 1 by 1.

Am I missing something?

I restarted VLC, and now I AM able to drag and drop files on the playlist, but not very well. If I select 20 files, it works, selecting 90 files does not work, but there's no error message, it just does nothing.

Having pretty much same issue. Irritating.

I could without problems with drag and drop 3359 music files in 241 subfolders in the playlist draw.

Windows Vista, VLC 2.1.3
