could you make an action "Send To Playlist" (like in album list) which instantly sends the marked files to the actual playlist? i mean send to the actual playlist without the dialog-box. I only can find the action "Send To Playlist...".

it would be great if you for example search for an album and mark all found files and then simply press enter and have it in your actual list.

Amazing.

I'd like it if the window could be independant from the main window like the playlist search or the preferences.

That way you can access with global hotkeys.

If you have a global hotkey for database search, you can pop it up while the main window is hidden by pressing the hotkey twice. This will be fixed in the next release of the plugin.

Could you please implement "Add to playlist" as selectable default action for double clicking?
Always defragment your MP3s to avoid subtle lack in harmonics.

Install foo_utils, the command is called "Edit/Add to playlist".

foosion says that pressing Ctrl+ENTER, ENTER should do exactly that.

- blame him if it doesn't
- 2 keypresses aren't too much to ask, right?

okay... after installing the plugin "foo_utils" i got what i wanted

all fine

One small request: That the hotkey for the foo_dbsearch allow you to toggle its visibility (not only make it active), so I don't have to hit the little X every time I'm done with it (or Alt+F4). I'd imagine this isn't too difficult. Would you consider implementing this?

Database Search

Reply #190 –
I prefer hitting escape instead of Alt+F4 for closing it, since that's easier IMO. I'll consider including a toggle command in a future release.

Database Search

Reply #191 –
Oh good idea. Thanks for considering toggle!

One other thing: the most common way I personally use database search is to highlight several tracks and send them to the current (almost always 'Default') playlist, replacing the other tracks. Might there be some way in the future to set 'send to playlist' to automatically do it with certain options (which playlist to send to, whether or not to replace current tracks in playlist), so you don't have to go through an extra screen to do it?

Set "Edit/Send to playlist" from foo_utils as default action and invoke it with Ctrl+Enter, or assign a keyboard shortcut of your liking to "[context] Edit/Send to playlist" (see a few posts above).

How do I set edit/send to playlist as the default action?

I tried setting [context] edit/send to playlist to Ctrl+enter but that always closes the dialogue box when I hit Enter.

Under "Preferences->Components->Database search" set "Default action" to the desired command.

Database Search

Reply #195 –
Oh, okay, thanks. Yeah, that works, but it still prompts for which playlist to add it to... is there any way to make it skip that? It's not a problem if it's already on the default playlist, but sometimes it's not (usually after I restart the player).

Database Search

Reply #196 –
Sorry for confusing that, but the default action is triggered by pressing Enter in the resultlist (as stated in foo_dbsearch_help.html, btw).

Database Search

Reply #197 –
No, yeah, I got that. I have the default action set to 'send to playlist' just fine, but I'm wondering if there's a way to bypass that extra screen that asks about which playlist to add it to and whether or not to replace and sort the files (because I ALWAYS choose the same options). Can I do that somehow? I want to send the tracks to my Default playlist (my only playlist) and replace the files in the playlist.

Yes? No? Maybe so?

Be sure to use "Edit/Send to playlist" (from foo_utils) instead of "Send to playlist..." (from the foobar core).
