Screen-Center Playlist when switching to Fullscreen / Zoom mode
When this setting is enabled, switching to fullscreen or zoom mode while the playlist editor is visible, the playlist editor window will be centered within the fullscreen area.

Remember Playlist items when Exiting the player
When enabled, Zoom Player will save/restore the active playlist when closing/running.

Remember the last played item when saving / loading (ZPL) Playlists
When saving/loading playlists, enabling this setting, makes Zoom Player remember the last played file in the playlist and resume playback from that file.

Opening file / directory from the user interface clears the Playlist (otherwise append to the list)
Usually, when opening a new file (using one of the open functions), Zoom Player will clear the playlist. Disabling this setting will instruct Zoom Player to append the newly opened file(s) to the playlist.

Appending files into the Playlist plays the new track
With the setting above set to Append files rather than clear the playlist, having this setting enable instructs Zoom Player to start playing the newly appended files.

Opening files externally (Command Line / Explorer) clears the Playlist (otherwise append)
When opening files from external programs, this setting instructs Zoom Player to clear the playlist. When it is disabled, Zoom Player will append the files to the playlist.

Don't check if a file exists when loading it into the Playlist (faster)
When adding a file to the playlist, Zoom Player first checks if the file actually exists. This is a safety precaution, but under some conditions (certain network configurations), it may not be able to identify if the file exists properly. In such cases, you may want to disable the file check. Checking if a file exists also takes a bit of CPU time, something you would only notice when dealing with large playlists. Enabling this setting may mean slightly faster loading of playlist files.

Continue to the next item on the Playlist when an invalid file is played (otherwise show error)
By default, Zoom Player will show an error dialog when it fails to load a media file. With this setting enabled, Zoom Player will skip the error message and try playing the next file in the play list.

Seamless Playback (doesn't work with Random Play) - Requires VMR9, Experimental!
This is a very experimental feature that should reduce the time gap it takes to load the next file in the play list. It requires the video renderer to be set to one of the VMR9 modes and it may not work with every format and even cause stability issues.

Show Search Box on the Playlist Editor
The Playlist editor has a small search box at its bottom. This setting control if the search box is visible (or not).

Hide File Extensions
This setting controls whether file extensions (".AVI" for example) are visible in the Playlist editor.

Use Media Title if Available (Replacing the file name)
Zoom Player can read TAG (meta-data) information from Audio files. With this setting enabled and if Zoom Player has identified a "Title" TAG for the file, Zoom Player will display the Title TAG instead of the file name.

Move the Playlist Editor display to follow the currently playing media file
When enabled, Zoom Player will scroll the Playlist editor file listing to make sure the currently playing file is visible within the list.

Override Skin Colors
When enabled, you can override some of the Playlist Editor item colors.

Override Skin Font
When enabled, you can override the Playlist Editor font.
