Context Menus

I searched for my specific question, but could not find it. I know I can remove "add to vlc media player's playlist" from my recycle bin, but, how can I make that an option for individual files?? I'm using the .8.4a release, I heard that a nightly release fixes the recycle bin thing, and I'll try that. The problem I have, is that I can't click individual files, and add them to a playlist, I have to add entire folders. Is there a setting I can change to allow me to add individual files??

Also, is there any easier way, than editing the skin to get the player to display just the file name, and not the entire path to the file??
edit: one last question, is it possible to minimize the player to the tray?

I don't know that you searched real hard. I think I answer this one every day.

Preferences, Advanced, Other and check the two boxes marked "Allow only one running instance" and "Enqueue items to playlist when in one instance mode" then press Save and close the player.

Yes! The Nightly Builds have been fixed along with many other things. http://nightlies.videolan.org/ Pick the 9.5 meg file as it is the install version.

Associations are only available during the install.

I already answered that question, see first answer.

Some skins are that way by the designer, like void, others are not.
No! Not without editing the skin.

I will mention that some skins do no allow you to minimize the player. In other words not all the features available are incorporated by the designer of the skin. Although for most of the features, access can be gained by right clicking on the player.

I know that much. I'm just used to right clicking and using a context menu to add things to the playlist. I guess, I'll have to get used to double clicking them. Thanks for the reply.

The options suggested will allow you to add media files to a playlist without opening another player and is by far easier to build play lists than the old way. Another method would be from inside VLC.
