Are you referring to the the files being displayed in the file tree panel?

You can create a directory with an alias to both locations, or you can (if you're familiar with the terminal) use symlinks. There's no way to make a union of the two.

Edit: To have files from both locations in the playlsit, you can go to File->Add File and navigate to the desired filles you want to add.

Try right clicking on the playlist header and selecting the "Status" column.

That's not a bad idea at all. I like it, and I'll add it to trac.

Nope, with the dock icon all you get is a openFiles call that has a list of filenames. The modifier is for the special case though, it just toggles whatever your preference is set to, so I don't see it being that big of a hassle.

For the mp3 length, Cog will read at most 1 frame of an mp3. For other formats, it depends on the individual decoder.
For metadata, Cog simply hands the filename off to the TagLib library. It does whatever it does to fetch the metadata.
I can put together a debug build to help diagnose what's being slow in this case, but it'll be a bit until I have time to do it.

I think adding an Open With menu item seems like abuse, and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Believe it or not, some people wouldn't want an extra application in their open menu, and making that type of thing configurable would be a nightmare.

Modifier keys are a good idea, and I plan to add support for that.

How much CPU is in use (from Cog & AULab and all that)? I have noticed a few stuttering issues under high load that need to be taken care of.

It'd be very helpful if you could pin down exactly what actions are causing the leak. It may be difficult, though. I'll take a look when I get a chance.

You guys solved this one pretty quick! Go team!

I think I see what happened. Updating to the 0.07 unstable should have fixed things. The additional status column in 0.08 made the check for missing columns fail.

There is an extension that winamp uses called extinf, but it doesn't really suit Cog. For one, it just stores length and "Artist - Title". Cog needs more info than that. I suppose it could load that info and have it be replaced once the real info is read... Either way, this is a post-0.08 feature.
