is there an option to use Add files/URLs to playlist from clipboard?

Open file dialog starts in current file directory, or user directory when file/folder not available.

You may add it yourself, it's pretty easy to implement it in lua.

Open file dialog starts in current file directory, or user directory when file/folder not available.

Well, Windows will remember the last dir you opened, I don't think it is necessary here.
