Adding folder to playlist not working as expected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Long press a folder in the file browser and choose "Add to playlist".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The actual folder gets added to the playlist and shows up in the playlist on 
the desktop interface but not in the playlist of VLC remote. To make it really 
clear: It is really the folder what is added and not the contents of the folder 
like a user trying to add for example a whole album of his music collection to 
the playlist. This is not possible without adding every item of an album one by 
one to the playlist.

What version of VLC Remote are you using?
0.4.3

What version of VLC are you using?
1.1.7

What version of Android are you using?
2.2

Which Android device are you using?
HTC Desire

If you double click the folder appearing in the playlist on the desktop 
interface, VLC then loads all the media content from this folder and only then 
VLC remote is able to play these files, too, but that of corse knocks out the 
advantage of a remote...

Is this a presentation issue?  Do you mean to say that you expect to see the 
folder name instead of every file in the folder?

No, quite the opposite.

In my music collection the tracks of an album are in a folder with the name of 
that album. So when I want to listen to a whole album I select the folder for 
that album in VLC remote. What happens is that VLC remote really adds the 
FOLDER to the playlist but NOT THE CONTENT of the folder. Then I see the name 
of the folder in my playlist, but a folder naturally is not an audio or video 
file so I can't play it.

I would expect that when I add a folder with VLC remote it should add the 
CONTENT of the folder to the playlist and not the FOLDER itself.

Sorry if expressed myself ambiguously. Thanks for your answer and please let me 
know if you need more information from me.

When I use "Add to playlist" I only see the folder in the playlist at first, 
but as soon as it is played it is automatically expanded into individual tracks 
by VLC.  Selecting "Play" from the same context menu does this all in one step.

Yeah, it works now as I would expect it. The behaviour must have changed after 
some update in the meantime, I sewar that it did not work for me before.

Anyways, thanks a lot for the nice app!
