Playlist Creator Right Click For Rox

Hi was wondering how hard this might be to create for Rox.

Scenario Example: A folder full of unassorted tutorial videos in mp4, webm, flv, mkv.

Desired Ability:

1.Highlight Selected or all videos, sort by preference of date created, date modified, alphabetical ascending, descending, or size.
Basically, whatever one needs as options offered by Rox on the top bars.

2. Right Click Save as Playlist.

I reckon this method will be far more flexible, error free and robust than the internal playlist creators of the popular media players that are currently used in Puppy.

Smithy,

Perhaps this script will work in the rox openwith...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
FILES="$@"
for f in $FILES
do
echo "$f" >>/path/myplaylist
done
exit

Cheers,
seaside

Hi Seaside, thanks for your reply, and your code example.
It prompted me to have a look in rox.source/open with.
I see that there is already a mkplaylist file in there and it does seem to be producing
files (.asx, .pls) in a folder on a right click. I'll just have another look to see if it responds to sort criteria. Either way, it's got to be better than smplayer's two column playlist creator! Thanks.
