Releases of Playlist Tree

1.5.1.0 current version, released on: 2026-08-15

    • New context menu item to 'freeze' the expanded or collapsed state of a folder.

    • `%node_item_count_locale%`, `%playlist_duration_locale%` and `%playlist_size_locale%` are formatted using your Windows Locale number format settings.
  • Fixed: A couple of small render bugs when switching between the light and dark theme.
  • Fixed: The item indentation was not calculated correctly.
  • Fixed: Dark Mode support for the Search box when focused.
  • Fixed: Loading images from a path that contains title formatting fields. (Regression)
