Media Library Playlist that always reflects contents of current selection

[gerwalk]

Sometimes I'm in a "Playlist mood" but most other times I'm in a "just throw something on from the library for listening" mood.

I'm accustomed to it working like this in fb2k:

1. Single click to select a folder in my media library
2. All of the song contents of the selected folder (and subfolders) instantly populate a dedicated "Media Library Selection" Playlist. Any previous contents of the playlist are removed and replaced with the new selection.
3. I can also double-click a folder in the Media Library and the auto-generated playlist will start playing.

This streamlines the "browse-and-play" flow, removing the need to always create a new playlist any time I want to listen to something different (this is very cumbersome!) This selection playlist persists across runs of the program, so if I close and relaunch the player, I still have a list of what I was listening to previously, even if now there's no longer anything selected.

Other players like Spotify provide something similar, where a virtual playlist of sorts exists for whatever you're currently browsing and you can instantly play from there without the need to save the files to a new playlist first.

This functionality appears to be sorely missing from DeaDBeeF. Can something like this be added please? Or is it doable in ways that aren't obvious? Thanks

There's no "media library selection" playlist, or any automatic playlists in general. It is something that I want to implement eventually, but it's not quite there yet.

I can also double-click a folder in the Media Library and the auto-generated playlist will start playing.

This part works the same in Deadbeef.
