Last post by Revup67 -Are you claiming just using search overwrites playlists? Are you certain you don't hit enter after typing, that would send the results to selected playlist.Thanks for your response. Here are the answers to your post: Yes, I am pressing Enter on the keyboard after typing in the Search criteria. This Zero's out the entire Playlist (which was / is currently selected). CTRL + Z does not undo this action of which I have had success with but under different circumstances. The Playlists are being Saved as I am unable to recover any playlist after the Enter is pressed to invoke such an Action. Had I not done this, it would be hundreds of hours wasted in creating specific playlists.
Note that if you overwrite a playlist by accident, you can hit Ctrl+Z to undo the damage. One doesn't need to manually save FPL files because of fear of misclicks.
The ellipsis (...) button at the end of input field allows you to send the files to a new playlist or to a new autoplaylist. If you have a habit of hitting enter accidentally, you can try if enabling 'Library viewer selection' playlist at Preferences -> Media Library makes the search work in a way you like.
Thanks for the Tip on Preferences | Media Library - I am not seeing any such option in this section of version 2.14. I would surely give this a try. Can you kindly be more specific as to where this checkbox (?) is located or other insight to enable such a feature? Thanks
