Playlist tree?

VLC used to show the playlist tree (total playlist time, Discs, etc). But now, I cannot figure out how to get the tree to be displayed on the playlist.

Follow these steps...
- In VLC, click Tools ► Preferences
- At the bottom left, for Show settings, make sure Simple is selected (it should be)
- Along the left, make sure Interface is selected (again, it should be, but I'm just being thorough)
- On the right-side, in the section Playlist (near the bottom), check Display playlist tree
- Click Save
- Close VLC to commit the pref change (otherwise, if VLC crashes, this change {or some changes} might not be saved)
- Run VLC & see if that fixes the problem

Thanks for the reply.
That option was what I was playing with earlier. Even resetting my settings and just ticking that one option doesn't fix it. I've tried 2.0.8, 2.1.1, and 2.2 (nightly from a week or so ago). I also tried copying the preferences file from my wife's computer (where it works) to my computer.

I uninstalled/reinstalled, during which I selected the option to clear my settings and cache. The playlist tree is displayed now. Maybe clearing the cache is what I needed to do in order to fix the original issue.
Notes: UNticking the option to show playlist tree doesn't change anything.... i think that option perhaps applies to hierarchical playlists, not the "devices" tree next to the playlist.
