I set the double click action in playlist tree to "Playlist Tree/Play in Library Playlist" and it's functioning as it should.  One question:

Is it possible to configure playlist tree so that as soon as a song I have played by double clicking it in playlist tree finishes, the next track begins?  e.g., if I double click \mp3\artist\album\track 6, when track 6 finishes, track 7 begins?

or more succinctly, is it possible to make every folder in playlist_tree act like a playlist?

Everybody of us who uses PT and the Browser has made a decision how to organize the interplay of these two components: you can browse nodes by singleclick or by doubleclick, also you can set that browser playlist is automatically activated or not. You even can combine these 4 possibilities with different ways how the library playlist is handled. 

But there would be a behavior that is the most interesting and (for me at least) the most useful.  It requires a special command for doubleclick in PLT: "[local] activate browser playlist".  This command just makes sense if you use singleclick for browsing and has unchecked the automatical activation of the browser playlist.

What would be the advantage?  You don't have to decide if you like the automatic activation of browser playlist: a singleclick just fills the browser and a simple doubleclick opens also the browser playlist - very easy to use!

In that context i also would like to wish the feature of the socalled preview version: Add/Send to selected folder. Then you easily can browse a node by doubleclick, singleclick a special folder that should be filled with tracks and send them from playlistview by hotkey, context menu or buttons. (Nice side effect: the easy sending from folder to folder inside pt panel by context menu)

Have a nice day, all you!

I have a drop query set to read the contents of a folder that is not included in the "Music folders" list in the Media Library.  Because these songs' metadata is not stored in the database, when I refresh the query, the metadata is not read, and all the songs end up lumped together in the query root.  Is there anyway for Playlist Tree to read the metadata when it refreshes to properly create the subfolders?  It seems possible, since files that are not in the media library can still be inserted into playlists and have their metadata read and even saved between foobar sessions.

Are you using the latest version?  I thought that the last couple version support this.

An little annoyment that happens often enough is that a node is selected and library playlist is activated when you right click a node or expand it by clicking the +button. This only happens if nothing is selected in the panel - once a selection is done that behavior doesn't occur. The easiest way to reproduce this is to click the +button of a node directly after fresh start of foobar.

This is the way the treeview control works by default and it would be a hassle to work around it.

Does @and only work with @node queries?  I tried doing

@drop<c:\directory1> @and @drop<c:\directory2>

and it only takes files from directory 1.

Very small suggestion:

Similar to behaviour of Windows Explorer, the currently selected folder may be displayed with the expanded icon. I'm using a Windows XP icon set and it would slightly increase the feeling of authenticity?.

Bug
Don't know if this has been reported. When I enable 'Hide Lines' in the preferences the top nodes +/- disappear.

1. If you create some panels in one layout everything is fine. But if you add a panel in an other ColumnsUi layout this panel is not really a new one but an old one from first layout. The only solution i see: I have to create all panels in first layout, then to choose by context menu in second layout the panel i like and at last i have to remove that panel in first layout.

2. just the switching from one layout to an other causes that my panels are swapped: they display other stored pts.files (Note: i just tested inside tabbed panels)

I changed the tabbed panel to a normal splitter and the second point still occur: all the panels change their places. Do i something wrong or is this a bug?

It's a known issue.

That's a limitation of the treeview control.
