Yes but that requires you to enable the entire dircache and store potentially hundreds of KB or even MBs of additional data thats not really needed.  I'm suggesting always storing a list of filename hashes produced by dircache, and then discarding the filenames if dircache is disabled.  That way the database update doesn't fail on devices were using dircache is impractical or unwanted.

Sorry, but, apparently you didn't look at the WPS context menu terribly well at all.
You'll find that any playlist can be shuffled without setting "Shuffle" to "On" by simply choosing the "Reshuffle" option from the WPS context menu.

Now, this I find hard to believe...
Have you not noticed that the Database context menu is simply another way to access "Settings - General Settings - Database"?

Or, I just thought there is a chance you may mean calling the context menu after entering the Database menu option, but this only gives you access to "Playlist - Insert/Insert Shuffled".

Ah, that makes sense, yes. I tend to forget about the non-disk-based targets so i assume everyone uses dircache :)
