File Properties-> Classification->Playlists reactive to open upon clicking [#22136]

Post by guapo »

I love MM, been a user for a long time. I miss one feature that somehow got lost with the introduction of MM v5. The lost feature allowed me to hop into any of the playlists that contained the song in question.
What I mean is: the list in File Properties-> Classification->Playlists used to be reactive: you could click on each listed playlist and MM would open this playlist in the background tab that was currently open. If the song was even played the same time, MM would show the playlist and automatically center it around that song in the window.
Where did that go?

Thank you for fixing it, that is indeed an often-used feature when Im DJing cause it allows me to scan previously played lists! Nice its back.
The dblclick and ctr-dblclick open the playlist under the dialog, however it does not center the playlist around the currently played song. So if the song is outside the visible list, I need to close the properties windows, scroll down and then open the properties again to pick up scanning the next playlist. Is there a way to fix that as well?

I don't think jumping to the playing file is the right action, jumping to the file you opened the Playlist from could be. However the problem is that a file may be multiple times on the Playlist.

correct. that was the case also back then, the click on the playlist would center it horizontally around the first occurance. But that was fine; you knew from the playlist list that the song was multiple times in the list. back then it would show someting like "playlistname (3)" so you knew you gotta check at three positions. Again, that was no big deal for me since the playing song was highlighted and easily findable.
