I have a suggestion that I don't think has been addressed.
I use VLC often for file review and sorting. Sometimes, there will a lot of files with ambiguous names. Right now, I listen or watch, figure out the filename, and then go back to Windows Explorer to delete the file. Sometimes, this takes a while because Windows has to wait for the file to be closed before it can be deleted.
How about adding in a simple feature that, while a file is playing, I could press "Delete" on the keyboard, or some other assignable keyboard shortcut, and VLC will immediately close the file and delete it (or send it to the Recycle Bun)? I suppose after the current file is closed, the next file in the Playlist would automatically start playing.
Thoughts?
