"Add To Playlist" patch

[klopati]

this is a great feature...thank you

I just wanted to confirm that the only way I can REMOVE a song permanently from a playlist in the catalog is to remove, then save and rename the playlist?

Do I have the right?

I apologize if the answer to this is somewhere in this thread (or the manual)...

The "adding to playlist" is very intuitve and a great feature, and I am trying find as easy a way as possible to "Remove from playlist" and save that just as quickly as adding

Yep, AFAIK you're correct.

You shouldn't need to rename the playlist though, it's name should load into the renaming screen automatically, you can then just confirm its name to overwrite.

you need to rename the list, it can't overwrite the current list, which is a bug that hardeep is aware of. also see my previous posts relating to this issue.

Ok, just one more thing...

I noticed that any tracks I add using "add to playlist" don't seem to play when I access the playlist from Winamp.  Winamp seems to see these tracks as "read only" and does not display id3 info about them either (including timing).

I noticed this too.  Anyone know of any easy solutions or work-arounds?

I have been a lurker on this forum for a while picking up good bits of info for the excellent rockbox software.  I thought it was about time I registered and gave some feedback.

The new "Add to Playlist" feature is what made me register.

Excellent work please keep it up.
