When using beets to manage the current working directory with a custom config, beets must be invoked like this at the moment: BEETSDIR=. beet -c/--config {config file} {command}
For example: BEETSDIR=. beet -c beets.yaml ls
Suggestion
The suggestion is to do the following things if a beets.yaml exists in the cwd:
Set the config directory (BEETSDIR) to the cwd.
Ignore the user config and use beets.yaml instead.
This should replicate the behavior of the before mentioned command.
Note: beets.yaml is just my first idea. This obviously doesn't need to be the final name.
Further ideas
The default library path could be changed to something more specific like beets.db when a beets.yaml exists.
Conclusion
With this feature implemented, it would be possible to just call beet without any arguments or changing environment variables in this situation.
