Looking forward to it! Thanks for all your time and effort!

As regards the playlist directory, i personally use this method, but still think it's a good idea to keep the current catalog method because it gives the user more freedom.

Thanks again.

Shebb:
Anyway...  think I have nailed it now.  Took me a little longer than I thought because I decided to redo most things so the quality of coding is at least a little above my normal hacks.

Rough documentation:

- File context menu:
- - playlists
- - - Add playlist -> adds playlist to catalog if it is not there
- - - Remove playlist -> removes playlist from catalog if it is there
- - music, directories, playlists
- - - Add to playlist -> adds to the end of a playlist
- - - Add to new playlist -> can create a new playlist this way, or just access an existing one.  will add the playlist to the catalog afterwards if it is not present.

Main menu -> playlist options
- Catalog sort -> either priority or alphabetical
- Playlist catalog -> is also accessed when adding files to a playlist but then the context menu cannot be used and the selected list is just chosen rather than played
- - Buttons:
- - Select on main and remote -> plays the selected playlist
- - A-B/mode on main and remote -> changes the sorting
- - Hold select on main or play on remote -> enters context menu
- - - Play playlist
- - - View playlist
- - - Remove playlist -> removes it from catalog
- - - Delete playlist -> removes it then deletes the actual file
- - - Rename playlist -> renames actual playlist file

These files also are needed. They are to be placed in the /apps folder.

great shebb. I hope it gets in cvs soon.

This is what I have to say. Take it or leave it.

1) the "add to new playlist" feature is great. perfect, infact.
2) I wish you hadn't taken out the ability to browse the playlists from the context menu. having to go into the main menu is a pain.
3) the alphabetical sort doesn't work as I'd expect. It seems to sort all uppercase letters before all lowercase letters. This is what it's doing:

X.m3u
Y.m3u
Z.m3u
a.m3u
b.m3u
c.m3u

dig?

EDIT: ignore that (# 3)...

that's all I have to say. this is fantastic, thanks again Shebb.

Set 'Sort Case sensitive' to No.
