Created attachment 141048 [details] Elisa UI Open Dolphin or any file manager. Click playlist. Elisa 21.11.70 opens with last status view and playlist not loaded into Playlist window. Sometimes it opens with empty playlist. Sometimes it opens like on screenshot. Elisa looks and feels nice. I am even starting to like Playlist window, but it is buggy as hell. Player is 3 or more years in development. Considering such bugs are still present, people do not use it and don’t actively report or creators simply don’t care =)
> Open Dolphin or any file manager. Click playlist. I'm not sure what this means. There is no "Playlist" functionality in Dolphin. Can you clarify? Are you opening a music file from Dolphin in Elisa? Or many music files from Dolphin in Elisa? Or something else? > Considering such bugs are still present, people do not use it and don’t actively > report or creators simply don’t care =) I'm not sure what exactly you were hoping to achieve with this, but here's a life pro tip: when you're asking people to do work for free, insulting them and their work may not be the most effective means of accomplishing that goal. ;-)
Right click => Elisa or simply Enter on playlist and Elisa opens. I have no hopes and do not ask anything personally for me. I like this player and want basic improvement at least. I even started digging Qt because of it. It simply looks strange and funny for me that basic functions do not work. I appreciate people and respect their effort but let's be honest, not complaisant.
So you are right-clicking on a file and opening it in Elisa?
Yes. Elisa is associated with audio file types so I can just press enter.
Ok. So in this case, Elisa opens and I guess you already have some songs in your playlist, right?
Open any file manager. Click playlist. Elisa 21.11.70 opens with last status view and playlist not loaded into Playlist window. Clicked playlist do not open in Elisa. Last state opened.
So the bug is that the files you highlighted in your file manager are not added to Elisa's Playlist when it already had some songs in it?
Or is the bug that the existing playlist contents get messed up when you do this? If so, It's probably Bug 437488.
No. Elisa simply do not load playlist tracks into Playlist. Playlist file clicked, but nothing - just blank item instead album. I have one album in playlist. I attached screenshot in first comment.
I cannot reproduce the issue. When I open a file from Dolphin in Elisa, Elisa opens, shows the existing playlist, and adds the file from Dolphin to the end of it. Can you attach a screen recording that illustrates the issue?

Okay so you are trying to open a .m3u file from Dolphin, and it opens in Elisa, but Elisa fails to show the contents properly. Is that an accurate description of the issue?
Can reproduce the issue.
Exactly!
