Description John Dalgas 2010-02-26 11:32:33 UTC

Trying to use the '+' button on the Controller to add a FOLDER to the playlist fails - the controller screen just gives a brief jerk, and then does nothing.
But adding an ALBUM to the playlist works fine, so the problem is specific to using folders. (The Controller '+' button can also add a single track from a folder to the playlist, but not an entire folder).

Adding a FOLDER to the playlist worked fine in SqueezeCenter v.7.3.x, but does not work in Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 (official non-beta releases)
This means that it is definately a bug, that has been introduced with Squeezebox Server 7.4.x.

This is a nuisance for me, since I mostly access my music via folders.
(Mainly because when accessing via artists, albums or genres, I cant get the albums sorted in year order. This despite having selected artist-year-album sorting method from SBC menu).
