Topic: Is it possible to add a confirmation dialog/undo before deleting a playlist? (Read 1435 times) previous topic - next topic

Is it possible to add a confirmation dialog/undo before deleting a playlist?

1) I just accidentally deleted a playlist with more than 100 songs. By sheer chance I had exported that playlist to .m3u8 2 weeks ago and I didn't lose too much work, but if I hadn't I would be easily looking at hours of work recreating it.

Is it possible to add a confirmation dialog before deleting a playlist?
Or maybe adding Undo functionality for these operations?

The best solution, though, would be the ability to export all settings like I believe is possible in the Windows version, and ideally export the data in a human-readable format so that you can diff it if you use a version control system like git.


2) Sometimes when I try to export a playlist, the default format is .m3u8, which is what I want. Sometimes it's .fpl. When it's the latter, and I have to export 10 playlists, it's a lot of extra work to change the extension for each playlist. Would it be possible to remember the last file extension used and just re-use that?

Thanks

Are you sure there is no undo already?  Command-Z perhaps?
It's your privilege to disagree, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.

I'm sure you meant "CTRL-Z" but just clarifying for the OP (or just click the Edit menu and choose "Undo")

No, I don't.  Apple use their own "command" key for the things everyone else uses Ctrl for (even though there is a Ctrl key on their keyboards).  Helpfully (at least on the iPad), the user has settings to re-map the modifier key functions.

However, it is possible that FB2K reacts to Ctrl-Z rather than Command-Z, it depends where such things get interpreted and whether FB2K for Mac follows Apple conventions.

Oops!!  I didn't notice the OP specifying his OS anywhere so I dared to assume Windows.  Relax!

When deleting a playlist by pressing the del key, a confirmation dialog box always popped up.
Do you use the options below?
X

Sorry, I got it wrong

Thanks everybody, but cmd+z doesn't do anything, and the Edit > Undo menu option is greyed-out. If the right-click -> "Remove playlist" option weren't right below "Save playlist" or, perhaps if there was more separation between "Save" and "Remove" it would be less of a problem.

Wow, you SHOULD assume that someone posting in "foobar2000 for Mac" is NOT running Windows!  Sorry fooball for the error, it was me who was TOO relaxed  :-[
