Bug#733348: rhythmbox: Support custom file/folder naming conventions

[Riccardo Boninsegna]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.97-2.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

In Preferences > Folder Hierarchy, a limited number of choices are available, like "Album", "Artist" or other combinations.
None of them allow for putting all files at the root of the library; or more generally this system limits the user's choice.

I propose that future versions of Rhythmbox have the ability to manually enter folder structure and file names using a placeholder system (like printf, strftime, ...).
