Notes

• Using foo_plorg as a standalone (popup) window may lead to loosing part of your playlists organization if some changes (addition, deletion, reordering, ...) are applied with other playlist managers while the window is closed. The window startup is more or less intelligent to recognize such situations but it is by nature limited. It is recommended that you use it as a "permanent" panel or UI element rather.
