Support more then one playlist directory

[touwys]

The Programme Option>Playlist Directory, limits the setting to only one Playlist Directory. Instead of this existing Option serving to set this one default, extend the usefulness of the Playlist Directory by replicating some of the functionality of the Media Directories pane. In essence, this means the extended capability to open more than one playlist directory in the Playlist Directories pane, mirroring the layout and actions of the Media Directories panel, while still reserving the action to open individual playlists.

As a "user story" this is a bit vague.

Add Usefulness to the Playlist Directory

Something like this is more concrete: Support for multiple playlist directories. I will look into that.

spread the button out evenly

I think the button bar layout is okay, very wide buttons are not so pretty.

opening a playlist randomly

Not sure is this is what you mean, but to just open a random playlist when none is selected is extremely confusing behavior. Users expect predictable behavior.

Thank you, that's perfectly put, and what I intended. 🙃

I can make a neater drawing for you, if you want, but I was really not referring to wider buttons as such, but rather to evenly spaced buttons, i.e. without having to increase the current button-widths, at all.

Again, I expressed myself badly. Random was not a good choice of word here. Select the playlist(s) is, of course, correct. Once the playlist directories have been added, and they are populating the Playlist Directory, the user can select the playlist he wants to open in the Editor. He can select a single playlist, or make a contiguous or non-contiguous selection of playlists. The whole idea behind this is to save on the effort needed to populate the Playlist Directory, when having to open numerous playlists, all possibly from different locations, via the system file explorer.
