Version 1.6.0

Version 1.6.0 of PlaylistManager brings support for Beat Saber 1.19, a new UI overhaul as well as major improvements to the playlist downloader.

New UI

New UI
When opening the custom songs tab, there are 3 new buttons. The create playlist button allows you to quickly create a new playlist, the download queue button opens the playlist download queue and the settings button opens the PlaylistManager settings.

🤡 Downloader? I ha-

Downloader
The brand new playlist downloader allows for queuing multiple playlists to download as well as downloading playlists in the background. Yes, this even allows you to play the game instead of having to wait for playlists to download. By default, the downloads will pause when a song is started to save on performance, however you can allow it to download all the time in the settings. Speaking of settings...

Brand New Settings Menu

Settings
The settings menu has been moved from mod settings to the settings button as mentioned earlier. Settings are now organized based on what they do, (such as default playlist settings and UI) and now only perform a soft restart if it is necessary. Most settings can be toggled without a soft restart, and when it is needed a warning will pop up. The settings menu also shows a changelog of the latest PlaylistManager update (if you are reading it there, hi!) and a section for the major contributors of this mod.

Other Changes

  • MASSIVELY improved performance for the initial loading of all playlists in the game. Thank you so much @Auros for helping me investigate this.
  • Improved performance of deleting all songs along with deleting a playlist
  • Added support for downloading songs in a playlist that are unpublished due to being outdated but the hash is known. Should help with AccSaber.
  • A download icon is shown under each playlist in the list of playlists if there are songs for the playlist that are not downloaded yet. This behaviour can be disabled in the settings if you prefer.
  • If you download playlists when your drive is nearly full (less than 100MB) the download will be paused and a warning will pop up asking you to resume or cancel. This is done to prevent loss of configs for other mods (or even files from other programs on your PC) as attempting to write to the drive when there is very little space left would result in that data being lost forever. This can be disabled in the settings as well, but I recommend not to.
  • Added an ingame readme, accessible using ModList
  • Fixed a bug where playlists won't save after syncing
  • Removed the option to disable playlist management. With all the new features, it was hard to separate playlist loading from management. PlaylistManager as a whole can be disabled using ModList if you're into that.
