Hello,
I've though how about using XSPF or similar playlist style abroach
because SQLite databases are not promised to be byte compatible
(allthougth they have been for ages and will be like for evermore) and
XSPF can be expanded with extensions (just lighter abroach).
workflow can be like down but with extensions to have file named
/media/external/exported/.mixxx/database.xspf
So when you import some path you check for and parse
.mixxx/database.xspf or open if to VLC if you are in hurry :P. I also
think should it be like you
can export those playbags so it would make sense so they appear as new
playbag (or what ever it's in English) when you import it and when it's gone
playbag is gone so no need new abstraction.
Sincerely,
Tuukka
