How about "New Auto-Playlist from Selected Categories". A bit verbose but essentially what it is. Just use the word 'categories' and it already makes it more obvious. > The second (more difficult) part is there are playlists it can't handle > - and I think you should be able to edit any playlist that can be > created in the UI. Yes, you should. However this is useful enough a feature that it should go in straight away. Firstly it will act as an impetus to sort the out the auto-playlist UI and secondly it's not too much of an inconvenience even if you can't edit it. It only takes a few seconds to re-select the categories and create a similar auto-playlist. It's not a critical and crippling inability, and quite an unlikely one for people to run into. > If anyone can think of a decent UI that can edit both simple and complex > playlists, I'd be very interested in hearing it. Why not go the GtkFileChooser route - i.e. have a simple dialog with perhaps a UI for a single filter, with an 'advanced' option to expand the dialog into a more complex UI. - C _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
