[vlc-devel] Re: [RFC] + Re: Re: libcddb added, playlist interface - disappointing

[Sigmund Augdal]

By gut reaction to this whould be to use the input_info structures. We could
move these sructures and acompanying functions to the playlist. Then the
playlist window could use the content of the "General" category as columns
(with a way to hide stuff) and the rest of the info in the general category
could be available in tooltip or rightclick menu or something. To see all
the info in it's gory details you whould have to go to view->file info.

I'll think this better through though.
