Requirements
foobar2000 1.1. The component will not work with previous versions of foobar.
Getting started
The component is usable immediately, no configuration is necessary.
Two commands are provided under the View/Recently activated playlists: Previous playlist and Next playlist. If you like, these two commands can bound to keyboard shortcuts as follows:
- Open foobar preferences using Ctrl+P
- Click Keyboard shortcuts (on the left)
- Press Add new Button (on the right)
- Type recently to Filter list by text box to filter commands
- Choose Previous playlist under View/Recently activated playlists
- Click Key textbox and press Alt+Left using keyboard
- Click Apply
Now Previous playlist functionality is mapped to Alt+Left key combination (similar to most browsers and Windows Explorer).
The same procedure can be repeated for Next playlist<->Alt+Right binding.
In addition to the above commands, the component features 'Restore last removed playlist' command, available in the Edit menu.
Configuration
The only configuration is After delete go to last active playlist in the View/Recently activated playlists menu.
If the setting is enabled (checked) and the currently visible playlist is removed, the last used (i.e. visible) playlist will be activated. Foobar default behaviour is preserved when setting is disabled (not checked); this is the default setting.
