Summary0014202: Autoplaylist/Search/Filter cosmetic issues
DescriptionThere are various improvements possible, see the attached screenshot for clarification.

1. 'Match _any_ of the....' lines look better in bold font (or somehow highlighted css class). 'Sort by' might be bold as well.

2. Fields, Operators and Values look better next to each other, not in 3 columns.

3. Remove 'Create nested condition' button and add it as a part of the standard '+' button, i.e. that clicking the '+' will show the list of possible condition fields (like Artist, Album, Year, ...) and the first item will be '<Nested condition>'.

4. Remove all the '+' buttons except those that are in 'Match _any_ of ...' lines. The remaining '+' button seem to look better when left aligned, so that they aren't mixed with '-' buttons.

5. Because of 4, it might be useful to add d&d support for reordering of the conditions. However, doesn't seem to be _really_ necessary.

6. Sort by fields look better when joined on a single line (rather than each having it's own line)

7. 'Random' sort order doesn't need the 'A..Z' switch.

8. It isn't clear whether 'Sort by' is even generally needed. iTunes offers this option only for 'Limit to' conditions, which seems to make sense, as generally the ordering should be done (and persist) on per-column clicks on the resulting Tracklist.

Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 are fixed in 2066

8) I think that 'Sort by' is needed because of auto-playlist sync.
e.g. when a large auto-playlist is synced to a device (or served by media server).
Are you suggesting to define the order by columns only? I guess that many users wouldn't realize how to sort it then. Also using columns you cannot sort by "Random" and "Random Album", another downside is that you would need to made a corresponding column visible at first and then sort by the column which is quite cumbersome.

I would not change anything for 5.0, we even improved the features.

Please close if you agree.
