Stop after current
Chronon:
I think "stop after current" should satisfy those who want to clear playlist. Is there another reason to clear the playlist other than wanting to stop after the current track? If one wants to replace the current playlist with different content the "play next" option can be used.
Once playback is stopped, a user can choose to resume later or create/load a new playlist.
Llorean:
Why wouldn't "pause after current" work, though?
You can already clear a playlist by explicitly stopping, by selecting a new file, or by using "play next." All three of these can also be used after a "pause after current" to duplicate the effects of a "stop after current." What's the advantage of having both "pause after current" and "stop after current?"
nls:
Yes stopping does clear the playlist so stop after current and clear playlist are functionally the same thing. Although a cleared playlist can be resumed making this a little non-obvious most of the time.

I can't confirm that:
Create a dynamic playlist by playing a file in a folder. Let it play for a bit. Press stop. Playback is now stopped, so the dynamic playlist should be cleared. Press Play. The dynamic playlist resumes.
The dynamic playlist is cleared when playback is stopped at the end of the playlist, but inserting a "stop after this track" is something different than "the playlist ended".

Translating "Stop after current" to rockbox, it's almost a playback mode, which means: single track play without repeat, keep the playlist.
