Title: Command/Shortcut to add file to playlist?
Post by: cncb on October 06, 2014, 11:47:03 am

What I ideally want is a keyboard key to add a file to a known playlist and then refresh the current view.  It looks like the best I can do is possibly open the "Send To Playlist" menu directly with MCC_SHOW_MENU assuming someone can tell me its menu ID.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

You can add a file to a playlist using MCWS:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/AddFile?PlaylistType=Path&Playlist=Hits&FileType=Filename&File=C:\1.ape

Or if you know the key:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/AddFile?PlaylistType=Path&Playlist=Hits&FileType=Key&File=12345

How does one determine the currently selected file(s) with MCWS or automation?

Well you can add an expression column:
FileKey()

To see the key of a selected file.

Is there any way to do this in an automated fashion with the currently selected file(s)?

Also, is there any way to override the default Resource.xml so that any changes I make are not overwritten by an MC upgrade?
