Which playlist does the file add to? Can the user not choose? Opviously he could drag the file on the window he would liek to add it to, but how to handle this in the context menu alone?įor this I dont know what would be the best way of handeling it. What if the user has multiple instances (multiple windows) open and chooses to add a file to the playlist.
