Request xmplayer4.x Playlist tab bar/Multilingual/del second confirmation

Can xmplayer add a playlist tab bar and multilingual support in version 4.x?
I hope that with the major version update, some frequently used features can be added. The right-click menu still requires multiple clicks, which is too cumbersome.
The ASCII hard coding causes garbled characters; it would be best to provide official multilingual support.

The "Allow file deletion: Confirm" box in the "Playlist" options page should do that.

I'll look into that for the next update.

Most skins have a minimize button next to the close button. If you're using a skin without that button then you can set a keyboard shortcut to minimize in the "Shortcuts" options page, or use the standard Win+Down shortcut.

That would be nice to have, but unfortunately the current options window layout isn't really suitable for translations. I think it'd need to change to a scrollable list layout with one option per line, to ensure space for translations. That's a pretty big change, and I can't say if/when it'll happen (the same goes for the tabbed playlist request). For now, when you're unsure about something, perhaps you can open the XMPlay docs in a browser (by clicking the ? button) and use the browser's translation option? The docs can also be opened outside of XMPlay here:

Winamp skin support is unlikely, but some Winamp skins have been ported to XMPlay. They can be found on the support site:
