Add to personal playlist with one button / Volume Control without display

(1/1)

ahamay:
Dear Rockbox team,

I'm very satisfied with Rockbox on my mp3 player (therefore I own the Clip/Fuze)
But there are 2 things which maybe could make Rockbox perfect   ;D

1) Personal playlist;
    Normally when I browse to a folder and select it, all files in it are added to the dynamic playlist.
    But when I like a song in the folder/playlist , it would be great to add it to a personal playlist I
    predefined.  So I would have a dynamic playlist and a personal playlist. 
   At this moment selecting a folder will kill my personal playlist and otherwise.
   Also adding with 1 button longpress would be great.

2) Whenever I change volume or skip track my Sandisks (Fuze/Clip) displays +
    clickwheels lits. Is it possible to keep the display off in these situations when one of these
    4 buttons is pressed?
   
I hope these features will be implemented in the future (Personal playlist  ;D ;D ;D).

Best regards and keep up the superb work.

Maurice.


       
 

JdGordon:
1) You can do this with  the playlist catalog (which is admitedl not very good currently). Create a playlist then long-select on the track you want to add, go "playlist catalog" > "add to Playlist" then select the playlist you want.
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/11808 is a patch to try to make playlist handling better which is somewhat related to this (any suggestions are welcome).

2) I *believe* there is a patch somewhere which does this but it wont be accepted in its current form. There are technical issues with how to do this, but recent changes make this a bit easier to deal with (i.e when you press right, how does it know you're skipping track or selecting a menu item?)

Once again much thanks for all your support and help!

As follow up on one button play list just wonder if you could help with following:   
From WPS one button press (eg Long Play) to save playing song in to defined playlist (eg Favorites.m3u8)

I did extensive search but found only below workaround:

As possible solution I wonder if someone could point best way to invoke above favorites.c from WPS -> Long Play.

Thanks once again.
