[vlc-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Playlist enhancements

[Victorien Le Couviour--Tuffet]

It may not be convenient to play all the following items when the current tab
is not the playlist one, as for network directories it will spawn an access
module for each one of them. If these items need an authentification, but the
user abort these requests, we will get a busy loop. And the user will probably
get bored to be asked for auth on all these items when he doesn't even want to
do anything with it.
But as the current behaviour is to play the following, it would be quite
disturbing for the user to change that completly and only play the one he
selected. Especially if he selects some song within an album and expects the
next ones to be played as well. So all the following items sharing the same
parent node are played.

Also, the playlist is supposed to be a list with all the items to be played.
So when the user plays something it is automatically added to the playlist.
To follow this behaviour, the Play action in the contextual menu has been
expanded to Play and Add to Playlist. Of course, in the Playlist view only
Play is displayed.

As the Browse and Shrink actions were missing from the contextual menu they
have been added.
