feature request: open folder (play all files in the folder and it's subfolders)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using "open" on a directory simply opens it.

It would be nice to have a "open directory" for playing all files within
the directory. vlc does it, so gmplayer should be able to do it too. :o)
A checkbox for including sub folders would be handy too.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gnome-mplayer 0.9.6

Open the playlist and there is a button to do just that...

Oh, I just found out some hours ago that it's there but .. well ... quite 
cumbersome:
"Press F9 first, then move the mouse to the right button and press it,
select the folder then."
*cough* vlc does that by just pressing ctrl-f. I'd be happy if there would be 
an easy
way, like that. :-\

Switching to enhancement request. Personally, I used the feature in nautilus to 
open
a folder with gnome-mplayer (you probably don't want it the default action) as
gnome-mplayer will take a folder as a command line argument and recursively add 
all
the files in the folder to the playlist.
