Just to confirm what Michael is saying, my plan is that that the new
Custom Libraries plugin which uses the new library features in 7.9 will
replace the current Multi Library plugin.
Current Custom Browse/Custom Scan based menus which today might use
Multi Library defined libraries will be switched to instead use the new
libraries defined in 7.9. In such scenario it doesn't matter if the
libraries have been created using advanced search or Custom Libraries
plugin, they will all work together with Custom Browse/Custom Scan.
The same is also true for my other plugins which integrated with Mutli
Library, for example the SQL Playlist plugin which is going to make it
possible to create smart playlists based on a virtual library defined in
7.9.
After I've finished Custom Libraries plugin the old Multi Library plugin
will only be used by people using LMS 7.8 or earlier.
Custom Browse plugin still has its place if you want more advanced menu
hierarchies, for example for classical music, but it won't be needed if
you only want to separate your libraries into multiple sub libraries.
