Show named-searches in playlist view #205

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It should be possible to have named-searches (dynamic playlists) included
in the Playlist view.
In that way, there is no need to switch between Playlist and Search view
while choosing what to play - which is annoying.

It could also be realized the other way - by adding an option of
"attaching" a defined, named-search to a playlist.

Thx, keep up the good job.

This will be considered for 2.1.

I'm not convinced that this is the awesomest possible way to solve the problem, 
and
so I'm bumping it. Plus this software's gotta ship sometime.

According to the above comments, this must have existed at some point, but I 
can't find an option to display saved searches in the playlist now. (Latest 
trunk)
What's the status on this?

You can't; Saved searches are available in the Search Browser only.

As a user, I like the idea of this enhancement request, but the implementation 
is awkward at best. Search results don't have explicit order (well, not 
currently anyway), and won't allow the same song twice, both of which playlists 
allow.

Typically, playlists save to *files* under ~/.quodlibet/playlists/, whereas 
saved searches live as *lines* in ~/.quodlibet/lists/queries.saved. Again, this 
isn't a user problem, but there would need to be significant re-working and 
extra logic to merge these two concepts in one browser. 

Could be worth thinking through, as I think this would bring the (saved) 
searches, a key strength of QL, into the foreground better.
