Regression? That's a bit annoying, especially considering that adding
dynamic playlists *with* (user-input) parameters to favs *wasn't even
possible* with Erland's DPL. Yes, it's always been possible to add
dynamic playlists *without* user-input parameters to favs, i.e. dynamic
playlists that *don't* ask questions when you start them. And of course,
these favs wouldn't be affected by any rescan because their urls contain
no user-input parameters. And that hasn't changed with DPL3, not one
bit. Adding dynamic playlists *with* (user-input) parameters to favs was
an experimental feature that came later with DPL*3*. So... having a hard
time to see the alleged regression here.
If you want genres, artists or albums to stick across rescans, you name
them in your SQLite statement of your custom dynamic playlist which you
then add to LMS favs. Those favs will always “survive“ rescans (their
*url* contains no parameters) as long as you don't change the file name
or extension. Same as in DPL2.
Maybe it's better if I disable adding dynamic playlists *with* (user
input) parameters to favs by default in the next update to avoid
confusion and support problems. Then it will be like DPL2: you can only
save dynamic playlists *without* user input parameters by default. 
I hope that will make it easier.
