xmms playlist patch
This is an old patch I wrote for xmms’s playlist, since I don’t like how it behaves.
I store my oggs in a hierarchy of dirs, no playlists, I just use “add dir” and “sort by path”
I don’t like xmms’s “sort by path” feature, it doesn’t behave like it should (like in winamp). For example, in xmms, I’ll have something like this:
/foo.ogg
/h/blah.ogg
/heh.ogg
when it should be:
/foo.ogg
/heh.ogg
/h/blah.ogg
As you can see, the “correct” behavior should be something like, “sort the dirs first, then the files inside those dirs”. This patch will do exactly that, in a cheap way. In fact, it is cheaper than xmms’s default algorithm.
