Set default playlist per folder?

[mkody]

When I upload new content, I need to select and add them to the playlist.
The thing is, I like to organize stuff a bit, so I put every playlist or type of content in different folders.

media/
├── Jingles
└── Lecture

Now, I always put everything that's inside Lecture in the same playlist, but selecting new songs and adding them to the playlist takes more and more time. Selecting one after another is slow and selecting "All" take a lot of time with more than 100 songs inside the folder.
But note that the content of Jingles aren't sharing the same playlist, they're individually selected.

I'd like to suggest a "default playlist" when we upload new content to a specified folder.

The latest commit may address the issue you're referring to without needing the major database changes that having folders that auto-assign to playlists would be.

Now you can select a folder in a parent directory, and "clear playlists", "add playlists" and "delete" actions will automatically cascade down to all files in the directory. This lets you add an entire directory to a playlist in a single step.

4495cac Should fix any performance issues associated with this...there was a minor typo in the code (if the filemtime was equal to the stored one, it would reprocess the file) causing every file being processed to be reloaded from the ID3 tags on the filesystem, unnecessarily.

Closing this issue as recent commits have fixed issues relating to selecting a folder in the parent directory and playlist changes applying to the entire folder, which achieves the same purpose without intrusion into the database schema.
