Hi, it's me again :-)

I have a few questions regarding build 73.

1) The watch folders plugin, does that also look inside subfolders, or do ou have to add them manually?

2) I have set Quintessential as my default player, and in previous versions I was able to just right-click on any mp3 and choose "add" to add it to the current playlist, but now I'm unable to do this.
Rightclicking doesn't give me the add functionality, and double clicking loads that mp3 as a single piece of music in the playlist.
(btw, dragging it into the playlist doesn't appear to do anything) (I use the QMPExp2 skin)

3) Another thing I found with Qcd, normally you could choose your playlist from the playlist selection, and it would show the playlists you have in the (in the config) specified folder. But now it only shows the "current.m3u8" playlist (or if you save your own playlist to the m3mu8 format, it uses that name, but the other playlists don't get shown)

Nope, at the moment the watch folders plugin doesn't look inside subfolders, paul said something about getting that into the next version...

Go to prefs > Settings > Media Loading and check the 'On menu for supported files' and 'Show: Add'.

Go to Prefs > Settings > Playlists, and from there click the button in the playlist folder section, and point QCD to the location of your playlists.

Hmmm, for point 2, ya might also wanna check the 'append files to playlist on 'open'' option in prefs > media loading.

thanks, that did the trick :-) Don't know why I found it myself... must have looked through the wrong glasses or something...

Go to Prefs > Settings > Playlists, and from there click the button in the playlist folder section, and point QCD to the location of your playlists.
That's the whole point, it is set to the correct folder (desktop) but it only shows the one file (current.m3u8 if the playlist I loaded isn't saved to that format, and the correct name of the playlist if it is)

*edit* tried it again.. made sure that the correct folder was selected and pressed save, and suddenly it does work... hmmm odd */edit*
