How to begin working with Playlist Video Player.

    At app start user has two choices: to play back single video file or to handle video playlists.

    You select video file using standard Windows dialog or using drag-drop technique from Windows Files Explorer.

    To handle playlists you have to click on the “List” button in the right corner of lower panel to see the four playlists buttons: “Show”, “Play back”, “Modify” and “New”.

How to create and modify playlist.

    Playlists dedicated panel will be displayed on the top of the app after “New” or “Modify” button is activated. This panel has two controls to add or remove videos and two controls to save or delete playlist.

    Video can be added to the list through the standard Windows dialog or using drag-drop technique from Windows Files Explorer.
   Every video in the list is presented by its thumbnail; video selected to be removed has red frame around corresponding thumbnail; double click (double tap) on the thumbnail selects and deselects the video.

    Single click (tap) on any thumbnail reveals this video name in red, by default its video file name. Next click (tap) on this thumbnail makes video name editable and the next click on the same thumbnail hides video name if it wasn’t changed but leaves it visible if it was changed, just to remind you to save your changes if you wish.

    Videos in the list can be rearranged using drag-drop technique, however, if you drop thumbnail outside the playlist dedicated panel corresponding video starts playing back so you can make sure video is playable.
