FR: Remember queue

[forteller]

It would be great if one could choose to remember the queue of videos one adds to Clapper and have it automatically restored upon launch. This could be an option in Settings or a prompt on closing Clapper while playing a queue.

This would solve this use case, which I think is probably not too uncommon: https://mastodon.social/@vtrlx/115691710305594972

Thanks for your great work!

You can select multiple videos in file manager, right click and open with Clapper or generate a playlist file from videos within a directory:

ls -1 -d "$PWD"/*.mkv > playlist.claps

In the next Clapper version (0.10) you can have playback resume with recall enhancer plugin installed. But it works per item, thus does not restore playback from last index/number in a playlist. As we operate on a playback queue always and its flexible (items can be reordered, added or removed).

If you really need such a functionality in core Clapper application, you can for example write your own enhancer plugin that dumps current queue from played index until the end into a playlist file, then just open that file on start. This way you can get some sort of a playlist with items you haven't reached to last time app was used.
