Bug Description

The desired feature is an optical indication in the playlist/crate/other lists on a track, when it is loaded in some deck and/or playing in some deck and in which one - as another column in the lists view.

Simiar feature in VDJ (Screenshot): https://mixxx.org/forums/download/file.php?id=2104

Details explanation:

The longer the lists, the more complicated is it, to find the actual playing track (and check some of it's attributes or hack the bpm in via properties), even if you ignored the original playlist order. Especially with similar looking material (see Traktor Screenshot - several versions/remixes of one track) or very complex named tracks , mistakes are easy to make, when searching and picking the right track. Because the names are too similar and you have to double or triple check, which one is loaded (e.g. - for my case: Mix of Last Ninja 2 title, Last Ninja 2 mansion loader, Last Ninja subune 1 and Last ninja sid version). When using 4 decks, the phenomen can double.

Summary: It improves overview for everyone (I think), i definitely improves overview for complexer/special use cases, that are not so special :]

In this context, the AutoDj # can also be useful. Can this also fit in this new coloumn?

Who is adressed with this - me or devs? (Sorry :) )

I am not so familiar with AutoDJ (only use it when moving away from the set for a minute) Do you mean the column with the order number of AutoDJ list? As an addition to deck number, so one knows, which track is already in AutoDJ list? In this case, I would prefer another column, so the view is highly customizable still. I can't estimae, how many Mixxx users need and use AutoDJ.
