"Add To Playlist" patch
Shebb:
Yeah, it is feature bloat. I have found I do not need them. The shuffle playlist feature can be dumped as well but I would like to see it in the view playlist along with a couple of other features... I think I might patch that.
It will be far more efficient to just append new songs to the end but the whole recursive directory thing will have to be duplicated in the function if one wants to add directories to a playlist.
I am not sure if the actual listing of the playlists in the catalog is quite the right way to go about things. I hard coded a limit of 100 playlists into the source. I personally like having the playlist selected from the catalog move to the top, but would anyone prefer the playlists to be sorted alphabetically at all?
And I am not sure if I am building my patches quite right. To add multiple files I am just using >> instead of > so as to append the new stuff. Is this correct?
dunno:
I think that Alphabetical sorting is the most logical, and intuitive.

I'd agree, although i understand it can be handy to have the most recent at the top, overtime in a long list it could be difficult to find the m3u you're looking for as the list becomes essentially shuffled.
Maybe a combination would be possible; the three most recent at top, the rest alphabetically? I have no idea if this is feasable, just throwing in some ideas.

I also would prefer sorting alphabetically, as all my premade playlists in my special playlist folder are...
Shebb:
I found a nice easy solution. There is a setting which chooses which sort is used. But to make things more intuitive you can press a button while viewing the playlists to switch the sort. I will release the new patch tomorrow. Currently I have hard-coded the h140's BUTTON_MODE for this purpose. Which button should I assign this function to for the other devices?
I have also changed the insertion behavior to append the files to the playlist without going through the playlist API as suggested by Linus.
