Summary0019258: Playlists: Support hierarchical M3U playlists export
DescriptionOur bundled plugin "Export All playlists" can be improved by allowing exporting hierarchical M3U playlists similar to what is described at 0016540:0057660, by creating hierarchical folders for all playlists as that would help users with many playlists to easily search for them.

Preliminary tests shows that if using along with relative path setting there is no actual limit to folder structure.

Adding simple "[x] use hierarchical folders for Sub playlists" in UI would be more than enough.

EDIT: Maybe adding parent playlist names to filename with separator character can be also used.

Just for your information, my Export/Import Playlists add-on (http://solair.eunet.rs/~zvezdand/ExportM3UsForSubNodesNew.htm) already has hierarchical export and import of playlist files (M3U, M3U8, ASX or XSPF) having proper parent/child relations among other things, and I have plan to port it to MM5.

Such export/import of playlist files is completely unrelated to Playing list, which you presumed/expected in another issue (https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19124).

Lowering priority as Zvezdan plans to port the addon including this functionality already.

User at https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=521497#p521497 suggested that parent playlist names are included in playlist filename, I guess a separating character can be used in that case.
