I'm very addicted to this plugin, especially in bundle with tag editor. But it's pretty buggy atm somehow :/
There are some problems, that make this plug-in of no use:
1. If you create a new folder in the folder marked as 'watched' and then add there some mp3s at once, there is only ~70% chance, that u will have the first file added to the playlist, so u never know for sure, if all files from new folder get into the playlist. It's a bit annoying, especially if your files are being added automatically by some software.
2. If you delete more than, say, 7 non-empty folders from the 'watched' folder, most likely your player will crash (at least mine does, since very start of beta dev).
3. If u delete a file from the 'watched' folder, it won't be deleted from playlist, although this worked in QCD.
4. If you rename/move files from one folder to another, using the tag-editor (File Renamer tab), you will get renamed/moved files appended to the playlist, while old positions in playlist will stay. In addition, u will get some random files from the destination folder appended to the playlist also.
My music 'traffic' (addition and deletion of files) is a bit huge, so this plug-in is very essential (not only) for me. At the moment I'm using an external software, that watches my music folders and adds new files to the playlist by call to qmp from the command line. But of course, I would like to have a qmp plug-in working properly, without using third-party software in such weird manner. If anyone (Paul, Plug-in writers) could do something about this, please do :)
Thanx in advance.
