Open playlist when VLC starts (1.0 used to do this)

Postby Magnificus » 24 Jun 2010 02:24

Whit 1.0 it used to be that when you had the playlist open while closing VLC the playlist would open when you started VLC again. No I have 1.1 I have to open the playlist manually every time I start VLC.
Almost 99% of the time I start VLC I also want the playlist vissible, the other 1% it does not matter is it opens. So you can see that in my case it was really practical of VLC to open the playlist when starting VLC. I use VLC manly to watch IPTV and therefore and want the playlist open, on my secundary screen, so I can quickly select the channel I want to watch. (I have all the channels in one .vlc file)

Why is this function gone in 1.1? :( (or am I doing something wrong?)
I would really like to see this function back in 1.1, or maybe a function that opens the playlistwindow when opening a playlist file.

Nervermind, with 'I prefer the old style' I meant that I wanted a separate window for playlist.
Now I found out how, so there is no problem...

Is this for Windows or for OS X?

I'm having the opposite issue. For me, the playlist window is always open, and I never want it open. I would much prefer a single window interface. How can I make the playlist window not open at the start, or is there a way to get a unified interface as is pictured for the Windows version on the home page for videolan.org?

View -> Playlist makes the playlist disappear. If you close VLC with playlist closed, it should start like that next time.
