Playlist's name on Sansa e250R

(1/2) > >>

fecica:
I have a question for you guys, who seem to know lots about this wonderful frimware:

I have a Sansa E250R w/an 8Gb mSD working very nice. I really love it. I use playlists a lot and, of course, I modify them on a weekly basis as I use them for my practice every week (I'm a bass player at my church). What happens is that every time that I modify a playlist, I have to re-type the whole name of the playlist (with the folder name also). I would like Rockbox to give the Choice of using the original playlist name by default so I just accept it and save it instead of re-typing it every time I modify my playlist.

Is there any other way to do it ? or this is something that would be nice to change in the Rockbox code?

Thank you, guys for your time.

I have a feeling that the playlist catalogue might help you out on this - not sure though.  I know it lets you add stuff to an existing playlist, not sure about deleting.

Yes, songs can be added or deleted from a playlist with a click, simple. But, after modifying a playlist, it needs to be saved and here is when I have to re-type the whole name (with the virtual keyboard) unlike the PC OS's, which always give you the original by default and one just needs to click yes. By the way, being able to handle playlists from within the player (no PC needed) is wonderful, is LIFE!!. I should not be complaining. Actually I'm not. I just want to get rid of virtual-typing whe the playlist name already exists.

Again, thank you, guys.

AlexP:
Yes, but using the playlist catalogue you can add songs to an existing already saved playlist without having to type in the name again.  This may be possible with deleting as well, I don't know.

I just tried once more. But I want the changes to stay in the plalylist. This is what I did:

- I Played a playlist from the catalog. (I made all my PL's within the player)
- While playing, I went to database, album, etc.... found the song I wanted to be part of the playlist.
- I pressed & held, picked playlist, selected iINSERT LAST, and the song got into the list. This part is O.K.
- Now I wanted this change to be permanent.
- I checked by selecting another playlist just to get out of that play list hoping that my change remain.
- selected the PL (the modified one) but the song that I just added was not there because I did not save the changes. That means that the changes should be saved. And here is when I have to re-type the name of the playlist.

Am I doing something wrong?

Again, thank you for your help.
