enhancement:option to play file dropped on gnome mplayer window instead of queueing it similar to vlc player behaviour #727

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

It would be super useful  to have the option be able to drop a folder on the 
window and have it start playing/ overwrite existing queue with files found in 
folder similar to vlc behavior. I find the current behaviour of gnome-mplayer 
very useful for playing audio, but I am rarely queueing videos, much more often 
I want to watch whatever I drop on the window, so it would be nice to have an 
option to toggle this behavior.

If you drop a single video on gnome-mplayer with the playlist close it should 
start playing the video you dropped, I believe.

I noticed that worked like that after I posted this. It would be nice if this 
behaviour also happened if you dropped a directory on it.

I think of directories like a playlist and so when you drop a directory it adds 
to the list, because at the time of dropping I don't know if the file is audio 
or video so it was a choice for simplicity and performance to handle it that 
way.

If you had an option to force the other behaviour I would very much appreciate 
it. All my stuff is organized in directories. it doesn't have to be fancy, a 
check mark to force a folder drop to create a new playlist would work great.
