Public bug reported:
As MPD may be used in an environment shared by multiple people, it makes
sense for clients to allow "favourites" to be read from/written to a
specific playlist.
While it is possible in GMPC to assign the currently playing song to a
specific playlist by right-clicking the star icon, left-clicking the
star icon always modifies the playlist named "Favorites" and the star is
only "illuminated" for the next playing song if that song appears in the
global "Favorites" playlist.
This behaviour results in GMPC's "Favorites" functionality being
unusable in a shared environment, as multiple GMPC users corrupt each
other's favourites.
For my GMPC installation I would prefer to nominate, e.g., "Alex's
Favourites" to be the playlist on which the star icon operates. Other
GMPC users connecting to the same MPD instance would also nominate their
own "starred" playlist. This would prevent the scenario described
above.
