Playlist is still a pain to access
I had hoped someone would address the playlist soon.
Why is the playlist an entirely different interface and not just a list of files I can drag files to?
Why is there no auto-hiding playlist in fullscreen mode?
At the very least, you could allow the video pane in the playlist 'mode' to be resized properly.
We don't need the sidebar where we can browse the computer starting at the top level. That may seem like a small gripe but the fact is I never start VLC and then look for files to play, I find the files to play and I double click them. If I want to watch more files I want to be able to drag them in in order. I'm sure that's probably also the usage scenario for most people.
This is the single most annoying thing VLC doesn't provide that ALL other players do - a simple, easy to operate, easy to access playlist.
