How to play a saved playlist in the newest Rockbox build?

Aaah, the ambiguity when communicating over message boards. I don't know how to answer this question... ???
I'll just do it in a Lieutenant Commander Data-Style ;)
Yes, I save my playlist as .m3u8 in the folder <disk>/Playlists. As far as I know Rockbox doesn't support other playlist (unicode) formats. [http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipplus/rockbox-buildap1.html#x16-333000A]
I attached one of such files as an example. I had to camouflage it as a .txt file to be able to upload it. (Real file name:"Example.m3u8") It contains Hangul; Linux user shouldn't have a problem visualising it corrrectly, Windows user might see blocks.
Although I might start sound like a broken record ;) Rockbox v3.9.1 does not have this problem, in my case.

I don't know what you're doing, but you're doing something wrong. the playlist cataloge main menu item should put you in the /Playlists folder which will show your .m3u/8 files
XavierB:
When I go Home Button ---> Main Menu ---> Playlist Catalogue it does indeed show me my playlists. I have no problem with that.
My problem is that loading a saved playlist took me with Rockbox v.3.9.1 about 6 individual steps (an about 2 seconds in time) while now with the latest build it takes 14 to 20 steps at best (taking considerable more time for navigation and concentration.) I have it described extensively here in this post:

One reason for that is that the "View Catalogue" entry is missing in the "Context menu ---> Playlist Catalogue" submenu.
The second reason is that Rockbox latest build does not play the playlist at once but shows the content of the playlist first.
And the third reason is that after loading a playlist I have to click my way maze-like back to Playing Screen in order to regain playback control instead of being prompted there right away.
All very detailed explained in this post:

But thanks for your time.
JdGordon:
OH! ok, yeah, forget it. the playlist changes made them more understandable and more useful for just about everyone else. you can always use the .m3u context menu to play now instead of opening it first
XavierB:
I guess there is some major miscommunication going on this board. I could do a Youtube-video (if I had a proper camera) but I don't think it wouldn't add anything new to what I've sad on this post before:

I know it's a long post. But I hope someone takes his time to read it. I'm not a native English speaker, so should there be anything unclear, ambiguous or not detailed enough (in the post I mentioned and linked, here, in this one) please inform me. Thanks.
