config per directory?
torne:
You're confusing what seems simpler in concept to you, with what's actually simpler to implement. We have no mechainsm for having multiple configurations in memory. We have no mechanism for loading configurations with only a subset of the settings. Adding these things would be complicated.
The ideas being discussed by most of the developers in this thread reuse the existing config file parsing system and the existing single set of global settings in memory to accomplish the task, this is what makes them simple, even though this means they have *more* functionality than you are asking for. Unfortunately the consensus seems to be that the 'obvious' way of doing it is going to have some problems... so unless a way around them is proposed this isn't going to happen. Suggesting something more limited doesn't automatically make it easier, simpler, or more elegant to actually implement, in fact more general solutions to problems are often more simple...

It's great to have developers to step in and provide insight. Even if "config" idea is rejected the problem is still there - there is a need to automatically adjust some settings on per directory basis.
I don't think quickscreen is a solution - it still requires user intervention, isn’t it?
Regarding crossfeed – I believe it’s a typo. Should be crossFADE

Nope. Crossfeed and crossfade are totally separate things.
Although I did think that at first too!
oayz:
Yes, but it does make sense to control crossFADE on per directory basis. I don't think anyone wants to do it with crossFEED. Still possible though - "I listen this directory on headphones and that - when my RB is docked".
Chronon:
For me it depends on how the album is mastered. I usually enable crossfeed while listening with phones to albums where certain instruments are hard-panned.
