foo_playlist_attributes, Assign relevant attributes to a playlist Options

[fbuser]

This component lets you assign various attributes to a playlist. The component also reimplements two options which are already provided by foo_removeplayed, to make them useable on a per playlist basis.

1. Could you use the new case sentence style for the name of the commands?

No. Althought I don't no what you exactly mean with "new case sentence style", it doesn't matter in this case. The problem is that the commands are available via the menu and via a dropdown box in the preferences. According to an older style guide menu commands should use book title style and dropdown box entries should use sentence style. According to a new style guide (the actual?) even menu commands should use sentence style, which is currently inconsistent with the menus in foobar2000. But consistency within the component is more important for me, so I use sentence style for all entries. It also fits better to the replaygain processing modes, which are also written in sentence style.

2. Wouldn't main menu -> edit be the better place for assigning playback attributes as this submenu is related to current/active playlist?

No, although assigning attributes to a playlist is technically a kind of editing the playlist, all attributes are related to playback in the first place.

My request: Adding integration of "stop after current" behavior for individual playlists.

It ist not very useful IMHO. It will only produce playlists which will stop after each track. What can be done with this?

Another thing I thought of; would it be possible to make defaults? Say, any playlist not specified should follow these attributes?

It's already there. If you choose the global value for an attribute, it uses the fb2k standard settings.

I might use it with my streaming playlist to stop playback if a stream breaks or if my internet connection is interrupted. In that case I don't want foobar to try playing other streams.

In addition to that, I think the "Playback follows cursor", "Cursor follows playback" and both options off as an option could be useful, especially for all my maintenance autoplaylists. Often I'm editing tags or something and disable the cursor focus or set it to playback follows cursor.
