Playlist insert order

<< < (3/4) > >>

dunno:
paul, I dislike the complexity of the playlist insert method intensely, I think that it could be simplified, but, we have had this discussion before to no avail, so there is no point in discussing it again now, do a search for our previous discussion to see how the menu system could be simplified.
I think that Insert and Insert next could be rationilised, do away with Insert and have Insert next and Insert last only. (and respective queue menus as well).

and to answer your ?, Insert behaves like Insert next all the time, how ever I haven't checked with a recent build.

Llorean:
Insert Next and Insert Last makes it PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to Insert A, then B, then C and get "A B C", so I don't understand how your idea can work at all... Using only Insert Next you would have to, starting from A, insert C then B to get "A B C" using next-only style insertion.

To force a user to do this is silly, and counterintuitive.

Now, we were discussing a claimed BUG, not the logic. Does or does not "Insert" always perform the same action as "Insert Next" as you previously claimed, or were you simply looking for an excuse to proclaim your views that the existing system is faulty and could better be replaced with one that requires a user insert their songs in reverse order to play them?

dunno:
i normally create long playlists inserting whole albums\directories. and heck I shouldnt be complaining about this as its exhibiting the behaviour i like :-))

Llorean:
I did not ask for your normal use habit, and "Song A B and C" can be replaced with "Folder A B and C" in my example above, creating the exact same problem, so that was pointless.

Seriously, this thread is about whether insertion works right or not, it's 100% clear that having only "Next" and "Last " forms of insert creates a use case that is far more awkward than our current one, because it requires reverse insertion. I'm sorry if you can't see this, and I'll be more than happy to explain the very simple math of this via PM if you're curious, but this thread is not for arguing this point: If you're not going to answer the question about whether or not it works as I've said it's supposed to work, please stop posting unrelated things like "How I use my player."

Why can't you just answer the single question I ASKED you?

Seriously, you've attempted to hijack this thread, and I really ought to ban you for this, but I'm showing some small lenience, so please, simply answer the question.

I was merely providing more information for you to assist you with trouble shooting should you try to replicate the problem,
