Freature Request: Append to Playlist by default option

Open TheDevKing opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

In Preferences -> Playback, there's an option to choose which playlist files added from the command line are added to. The behavior now replaces the files in the playlist with what's being added. I'd like an option to append to that playlist by default, leaving the playlist intact but adding the new files to the end.

Additionally with this new option it would be nice to have an option to control whether or not the newly added/appended files begin playing right away or not, perhaps conditionally upon whether or not anything is currently playing.

An example use case for this is making it easy to build a playlist by browsing through a file browser and just opening files with deadbeef in the background, each file being appended and not having to worry about the playlist being lost or having playback interrupted.

I'd also like if

$ deadbeef BestHits/

only inserted into a playlist. But if that's going to be the default behaviour, please also add an action to clear the playlist invokable from command line:

--playlist-clear

EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't notice the --queue option.

I'd also really appreciate this feature!

For now, I've manually edited my deadbeef.desktop file to add the --queue option by following these instructions.

While the --queue option works, it would be great if this was an option (or default even!) in deadbeef itelf. Especially since the deb packages over-write this value in the deadbeef.desktop file.
