global dropdown for all Sort pattern boxes

2008-09-24 16:51:10

Basically, like title says, I'd like to see a common dropdown list for all the sort pattern boxes.

I count four of them in all:

Sort By... dialog
Preferences->General->Sort incoming files by...
Media Library Search ->[...] button -> Autoplaylist Creator dialog
and
the Autoplaylist Properties dialog


Rather than composing the same filter patterns each time (or more often using 80 mouse clicks to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+v everytime), it would be much more convenient to be able to select previously used sort patterns from a drop down.

Hello

I have small question, is it possible to code in same possibility of previous chosen criterias in autoplaylist properties window as in sorting files window?

This is Behaviour in Sorting window:


And this is Behaviour in Autoplaylist Properties (you see no dropdown choice menu in sorting field)


Reason for this is that one has always to type the same sorting criteria (and whole title formatting) which can be very long or one has to copy and paste it from somewhere else.

Thanks,
Oby

Hey! just came across this thread searching for my own. Glad to see someone else wants this.

Here's my thread:

Can we have a ruling from the Dev team about this?

[edit] or does this fall under "Feature: Simplified user interface for creating autoplaylists." in the proposed features post?
