I have been fooling around with the smart playlist feature for a while now and I have come up with a request that I hope could be implemented in the way a smart playlist functions.
As they are now, they operate according to this rule, as written in the Wiki: When playlists are combined, the <limit> and <order> tags of the included playlists are ignored; only the <order> and <limit> of the final playlist are used.
I would like to see this behaviour go away. Why can't the limit and order tags be used on a playlist when included in another playlist? It would give a lot more control over the way we could implement a playlist.
Is this something that could eventually be implemented in the smart playlist features? If I could code, I would take a look at it, but I don't even know where to look to try to change this behaviour.
Thanks guys!
