window size with rules

Postby spudsrus » 07 Dec 2009 18:23

it's kind of embarrassing to be posting my first post as a request but i've been so happy with vlc in the past i haven't had any reason to come here other than downloading the next version.
anyhow, give me some feedback on the idea if you have a moment to spare

i lately started using vlc for playing music as well as the movies and tv shows that i watch and i thought it might be a cool idea to have different player profiles depending on what's playing.
these could be based on rules
such as if there is music playing then by default change the player size to small and position it here.
if video then ....
if there is an actual music playlist file open then show the playlist with x dimensions at x location

it's really to take the bother out of changing from

to
Image

and then resizing the playlist window and the player next time the player is opened for music
so on. thoughts, comments?
ta
and if this already exists then i am truly sorry for wasting time!

Interesting post, but I am not sure how this is doable with the default skin.
