####################################

# this option reverses the behaviour of the alt+ENTER keybind
# when disabled the keybind is required to enable autoload for the file
# when enabled the keybind disables autoload for the file
autoload=no

# experimental feature that recurses directories concurrently when appending items to the playlist
# this feature has the potential for massive performance improvements when using addons with asynchronous IO
concurrent_recursion=yes

# maximum number of recursions that can run concurrently
# if this number is too high it risks overflowing the mpv event queue, which will cause some directories to be dropped entirely
max_concurrency=16

# substitute forward slashes for backslashes when appending a local file to the playlist
# may be useful on windows systems
substitute_backslash=no

# if autoload is triggered by selecting the currently playing file, then
# the current file will have it's watch-later config saved before being closed and re-opened
# essentially the current file will not be restarted
autoload_save_current=yes

####################################
### directory parsing settings #####
####################################

# a directory cache to improve directory reading time,
# enable if it takes a long time to load directories.
# May cause 'ghost' files to be shown that no-longer exist or
# fail to show files that have recently been created.
# Reloading the directory with Ctrl+r will never use the cache.
# Use Ctrl+Shift+r to forcibly clear the cache.
cache=no

# Enables the internal `ls` addon that parses directories using the `ls` commandline tool.
# Allows directory parsing to run concurrently, which prevents the browser from locking up.
# Automatically disables itself on Windows systems.
ls_parser=yes

# Enables the internal `windir` addon that parses directories using the `dir` command in cmd.exe.
# Allows directory parsing to run concurrently, which prevents the browser from locking up.
# Automatically disables itself on non-Windows systems.
windir_parser=yes

# when moving up a directory do not stop on empty protocol schemes like `ftp://`
# e.g. moving up from `ftp://localhost/` will move straight to the root instead of `ftp://`
skip_protocol_schemes=yes

# map optical device paths to their respective file paths,
# e.g. mapping bd:// to the value of the bluray-device property
map_bd_device=yes

########## misc settings ###########
####################################

# turn the OSC idle screen off and on when opening and closing the browser
# this should only be enabled if file-browser is the only thing controlling the idle-screen,
# if multiple sources attempt to control the idle-screen at the same time it can cause unexpected behaviour.
toggle_idlescreen=no

# interpret backslashes `\` in paths as forward slashes `/`
# this is useful on Windows, which natively uses backslashes.
# As backslashes are valid filename characters in Unix systems this could
# cause mangled paths, though such filenames are rare.
# Use `yes` and `no` to enable/disable. `auto` tries to use the mpv `platform`
# property (mpv v0.36+) to decide. If the property is unavailable it defaults to `yes`.
normalise_backslash=auto

# Set the current open status of the browser in the `file_browser/open` field of the `user-data` property.
# This property is only available in mpv v0.36+.
set_user_data=yes

# Set the current open status of the browser in the `file_browser-open` field of the `shared-script-properties` property.
# This property is deprecated. When it is removed in mpv v0.37 file-browser will automatically disable this option.
