Title: Is there a way to change playlist folder "nesting" level?
Post by: Blouk on March 05, 2025, 21:31:37

Hi, in Windows I have a root folder called Disco Albums. Inside this folder I have 50 Disco albums. I'm looking for a way to make my AIMP playlist only show one group (the root folder Disco Albums) instead of 50 different groups named after every album, and by expanding the Disco Albums group it would show all the tracks in order of the albums.

The playlist only cares about the folder that contains the music files. The playlist doesn't care even if the album folder is inside 10 subfolders, all previous folders are ignored except the very last one. Is there a way to change this level?
I tried messing with the many playlist grouping settings like "%FileParentDir()" but all it does is change the playlist group's name or sorts the folders in other ways.

The only non-ideal way I can think of accomplishing this is by taking all tracks from each folder and placing them in the root folder, but all the tracks will then be mixed with each other and the album track order is completely lost.

Picture that says it all.

Try this to get a 2nd parent folder:

Code: [Select]

%Remove(%FileParentDir(2),\%FileParentDir(1))

Perfect, thanks so much.
