I don't know in advance which file I want to open next until I get to that point, so I don't want to add multiple files in a playlist.

In 0.3.17 I can use the "Open file" action each time, and get my desired behaviour. On the rare occasions I do want to make a playlist, the "Enqueue file" action is easy to access, but it doesn't get in the way if I don't want it. With 0.99 this has changed so that the default assumption is that the user wishes to build up a playlist, which has made it harder if I just want to open one file at a time. A confirmation step when clearing a playlist would make things even worse!
I get it, but this use case is the only one I can think of that has gotten a bit worse. For everything else it's MUCH smoother as it is now. And it'll take some serious convincing for me to degenerate back to the old behaviour. But if that's what the majority want I'll do it.
