Kinsky Desktop - right mouse click

[elis]

A small improvement suggestion:
When you have selected an object in windows and right-click on the mouse, the menu that shows is supposed to be context specific. Today in Kinsky Desktop browsing window, the right-click menu shows an option between details and album art, which is not context specific but general and also accesible through the menubar.
One very nice thing to have on the context specific menu is "Add to playlist". Then you don't have to move around as much with the mouse as you do now when first select album, then hit the Add-To-Playlist button, and up to the albums again.
I also often use Page up/Page down buttons when browsing, and they will not work when the Add-To-Playlist button gets focus.

Hope I'm not being controversial, but I'm in the opposite camp, in that I have no desire / need for a playlist - other than a simple track list / artwork of the CD playing at the time.

I would rather that this simple use case is done first, debugged and stabilised by Linn, before adding further functions that undoubtedly other folks value. Note that Spoon does set a good example of this, which Linn may well care to follow.

After all, DS is supposed to be a great music listening experience, so is it not reasonable to expect that this can be simple for the vast majority of listeners (and not need in-depth Linux knowledge)?

Regards...TomP

PS: Other than the Artist Index option, I never use any search mechanism in Twonky other than to find an occasional album where RipNAS has assigned a strange Artist Tag that needs to be corrected with Tag&Rename.

TomP, maybe you misunderstood my very small request. It was just another way of choosing songs to the already existing tracklist in Kinsky Desktop's right part. Instead of having to push the also already existing button "Add to playlist" you could do that by right-clicking the mouse.
