Research direction

Compare the Filesystem folder list and per-folder view with the Album list and per-album view, focusing on the existing queue actions and how files are ordered. Decide which of the two proposed approaches fits the existing screens, then check that users can add a folder’s audio files to the queue or play them next; the issue does not name source files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Most users will use the filesystem convention of folder containing music files = album.
This means the ability to work with the entire folder for playlist append / play next would be helpful. It is already possible to play all files (replace playlist) in a folder, but not to do add/insert playlist operations.

In Album browsing mode, for reference:
Album list - long press album yields popup for "add to queue" and "play next" (insert into queue).
Per-album view - functionality exists to "Play all" or to add individual tracks to queue.

In Filesystem browsing mode:
Folder list - long press does nothing.
Per-folder (containing audio) view - functionality appears identical to per-album view, with play all and individual file enqueue.

Describe the solution you'd like
Considered two possibilities:

  1. Long press on folder in Filesystem mode for playlist "Add to queue", matching Album list functionality. This probably requires sanity checks - does the folder contain audio files, what order to enqueue files in, etc.
  2. If code is re-used between the per-album and per-folder track list screens, implement playlist operations on these screens, alongside play all button, or as long press of play all button. It seems like the filesystem per-folder screen already filters for music files and properly orders them in display, and only displays these controls when the directory has audio.

Notes:
