foo_playlist_tree, still very experimental (beta stage) Options

[cwbowron]

foo_playlist_tree is a very customizable media library, with support for hierarchical playlists as well as dynamic playlists. Dynamic playlists can be generated using the same syntax as foo_playlistgen_ex. It can operate in its own window or as a column_ui panel.

Dynamic Playlists are in.

The way I have implemented them appears pretty slow though, take a look and let me know what you think...

Here's how they work, from the readme (it sounds more complicated than it is)

I'm working on dynamic folders. Dynamic folders work by having a query
string that acts as a filter. Then there is a query_display format string
that will seperate all the positive matches in subfolders of the query.
The default display format will be used unless the display format for an
individual folder has been changed. When you save a collection with dynamic
playlists the playlist should be populated when you load it.

Example of use:

From the right click menu select Add Dynamic Folder

Enter the Name Johnny Cash

Right Click in the new Dynamic Folder and select Edit Query

Enter the Query String $strcmp(%artist%,Johnny Cash)

All your Johnny Cash file will show up under the query

Right click on Edit Display and Enter:

%artist%|%album%|%title%

a subfolder called johnny cash will show up with subfolders for each
album, then the actual files. The actual display mode is not quite right
yet, so it will use the default file display mode for normal files.
(i.e. the %title$ in the above string won't effect the display)

Dont add anything to a query folder (dont drop other folders there, etc)
because on the next refresh it will be gone.
