- I really like stroke idea: normal playlists + autoupdated customated trees. I know you said that you are not going to implement it, but hey, I try it anyway or maybe someone will like to implement it. nice to hear that, and let's try to talk chris into implementing the feature, i think he's getting interested in it So how does the idea of autoupdated customized trees work? This is how I see it: You make a folder, but in addition to giving it a name you give it a criteria something like $if($strcmp($artist, "Johnny Cash"),1,0) and then all the files that have artist as johnny cash automagically show up under this? Is this how you see it? [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=257427"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] not exactly, i thought that it would be usefull to implement this feature in exactly the same way it is implemented in album list panel. i.e. you create a folder, let's say 'live performances' and then in the properties for this folder you paste a formating string which specifies that files with the tag TYPE=live appear in this folder, and are automagically sorted into further folders and subfolders, according to one's liking (one of mine would be artist\date-album\tracktitle). so basically it boils down to putting the functionality of album list panel into playlist tree (panel?) as you wrote this is perfectly achivable via the album list panel, but i'm sure people would find lots of ways to use these functionalities combined in one panel effectively, like sending files to the collection folders from within the same interface, instead of dragging them from explorer or playlist (seems much more convenient for me), or embeding an autoupdating folder within a collection folder. what do you think? anyway, keep on the good work on playlist tree
