That's pretty much what the todays version does. Except it does it in the opposite order - first creates the "listed playlists", then creates the filename-based playlists.

In fact I find one disadvantage in using a list file - if you want the books sorted, you need to keep the list sorted

I never considered that a disadvantage - since I spend so much time with command-line, it makes little difference to me if I use
dir /b *.lrf >files or
dir /b /on *.lrf >files :-)

Anyway, these are just minor remarks - great thanks for the program and the "filesystem collections" - I really hated creating them in Calibre (I'm a console creature - I prefer to type, than to click )

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

As for linux build, I thought more about Borland Kylix - as far as I know it's free and it's been made to build Delphi projects on linux. But I could be not completely up to date.

As I said, the biggest obstacle will probably be the XML library. If I can overcome that, the rest should be reasonably simple (though I won't be able to do it as my experience with Linux is limited - and only user-level at that).
