Add queue management to all hierarchy levels of local files

[jo-me]

It would be good to have the queue management popup (add to queue, play next, add to end of queue,...) to all levels of the hierarchy.

That way, you could for example add all songs of a certain album, artist, etc.

This would be especially nice in the folder hierarchy as it would then allow to add all files from a folder somewhere in the hierarchy. This makes sense for albums that have several subfolder (CD1 & CD2) and it would even allow adding ALL files to the tracklist by executing it on root folder level:

I'm not quite sure how one would go about implementing this cleanly and in a way that will be portable across all backends.

At the moment, the options are to use one of the following methods to build the tracklist:

• LibraryController.browse - provides a listing of items contained in the URI root, but not recursively as far as I know.
• LibraryController.search - it may be possible to call this with e.g. {uris=['file:///MusicBox']}, but not all backends support searching.

These are just some initial thoughts...

I am guessing there hasn't been much need for this, given it is an oldish post? It is something I would love to see (and would totally help with if I had the know-how). I would have thought a lot of people organize music locally using a several directory layers? I certainly do.

Are you using the latest version? Unless I misunderstand I think @jcass77 already implemented this.

EDIT: Ohhh! I did misunderstand, sorry.
