Add tracks to playlist with menu
Last modified: 2006-06-07 19:59:08 UTC
ATM this is not possible to add a track to a playlist using the menu. I think this should be implemented, because if you can't use pointer system you can't do this operation. Perhaps this option should be available in the contextual menu on the track list too ?
It is possible at the moment, but it's not obvious how to do it. You select tracks, use Edit->Copy, go to the playlist you want to add them to, and use Edit->Paste. I agree that a more obvious way of doing it would be _much_ better.
I don't know if this would bee the same bug or not, but feel free to move this if it should be separate. I have a Cowon IAudio M5 andhave used the patch for CVS to get it to recogize it (which is working) but it does not play any of the playlists (audacious can play them if it made the playlist.) I can not make playlists on the M5 with Rhythmbox. It will not let me copy and paste tracks to playlist, or make a playlist using "new automatic playlist". I don't know if this a permissions problem or not (I don't think it is because other prgrams (audacious) can write playlists to the IAudio, and also play them. Don't know if any other PMP is having this problem.
Keith: Rhythmbox doesn't (yet) have support for writing playlists to any audio players, just reading them. There is are bugs filed for playlist support on several different Cowon players.
Created attachment 62124 [details] [review] patch There are a couple of bugs to iron out, but it mostly works for me. * something steals the sourcelist focus when it starts to let you rename the new playlist you have just created * should "add to queue" be put in the submenu too? probably not, since it's conceptually different than a playlist
Created attachment 63624 [details] [review] updated patch Updated for cvs.
Created attachment 65318 [details] [review] updated patch Updated to CVS. Does anyone have an option on whether this is good, should to turned into a plugin (fairly simple), or is useless?
(In reply to comment #6) > Does anyone have an option on whether this is good, should to turned into a > plugin (fairly simple), or is useless? It works, except that for some reason my CPU usage shoots sky high after I apply the patch. If I back it out, it works fine again. I think it's an excellent feature, and I'd be happy for it to be in core rhythmbox. It makes it much easier to create playlists more quickly without drag and drop, or cut and paste because it can be done via keyboard and/or accessibility keys.
Committed to cvs with a fix for the CPU issue, and correctly removing menu items when playlists are deleted.
