Summary0013077: Folder browser: Add context menu option to add current folder to Librray folders
DescriptionWhen using Folder Browser there is no way to add current folder to MMA library folders.

Adding this feature we will get:
1. Better support for Media folders Locations
2. Better View which MMA folders should initially scan (Like USB Disks)
3. More friendlier user interface to setup Sync locations and avoid duplicate tracks after all folders are added to library and paired with MMW
4. Better feedback on what tracks MMA missed
Additional InformationInitial idea came from http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=83225 where users could not add/chose librray folders but can pplay tracks using Browser
TagsNo tags attached.

Isn't the real issue here that MMA allows the user to de-select /Android/Data/ but doesn't allow the user to re-select it once it's been deselected?

No, it means that while user is browsing SDCard or USB Drive it is possible to add folder to MMA library or check if folder is contained in library.

Attached picture where option should be added.

Example browsing SUBDisk1 folder /Storages/USBDisk1/Music/POP

[ ] Add To Library => If folder is not added to library
[X] Add To Library => If folder is added to library or any prrent folder is already in library eg. /Storages/USBDisk1/Music/ or /Storages/USBDisk1/

I see what you mean. Note, however, that the global context menu isn't the correct place for this. The way it should work is that:

1 User selects a folder (or item within a folder)
--> context menu appears
2 The context menu for Folders > Files should have a new entry to 'Add to library'

Note: this isn't an urgent priority.

Tested 667 and this is still implemented in the Global menu instead of the context menu.

 It's implemented in both ways.
1)Options menu -> add currently browsing folder
2)Context menu -> add selected folders

I see. The problem is:
1) It doesn't belong in the Options menu (since that's currently implemented for Global functions)
2) The icon that appears in the context menu is a '+' which is quite unclear. I would suggest that either:
a) Change the icon to a 'Database' icon with a small plus
b) OR preferably: add an overflow menu entry to the context menu (for cases where the icons all display) and include the 'Add folder to library' within it (so that it always displays with text).

 1) Ok, I have removed it from Options menu.
About 2b) Is it necessary? If an user doesn't know about this context action, then on long click "action title" shows up. (I think, overflow menu will look weird on tablet in portrait when there is lot of space) What do you think?

2b) OK, so just try 2a) since I expect that we're going to modify this aspect of the UI anyhow for 2.0 (most material design apps don't rely only on an icon).
