#91 Display File Extension/Execute Program

[Anonymous]

What an awesome plugin! Keep up the great work!
Certainly you have enough ideas for the next version of
the plugin but maybe you have the time to think about
these ideas:

1. Display File Extension.
Is it possible to add a variable that contains the file
extension of the current audio file? A lot of hardware
MP3 players are capeable of different formats and
display the current format in the display. Through the
file extension it would be easy to identify the various
formats winamp supports and so you can check on the
display wether you are listening
to .ogg .wma .mp3 .mp2 .wav .mpg and so on.

2. Execute external program.
My idea is to write external batch files (or for the
experienced users c++ programs) that for excample free
up space on the hdd, copy files from a network drive
and adjust playlists. With a shell function it would be
easy for the users to implement such own ideas that
maybe to specifically for all users or to hard to
implement in the plugin itself.
