Autoloads default playlist while being in another one

Hello,
To start, i want to say hi to the community.

This is my config :
- A panel with the media library
- A panel with my playlist view
- The playlist switcher listbutton (with actually 1 playlist "Radio" and 1 Défault playlist  ::::  "Radio" is Read-only thanks to foo_utils)

Here is what i want :
Imagine i'm playing my old funky stuff in the Default playlist.
Then i want to listen to my favorite radio, so i choose "Radio" from the playlist switcher listbutton.

Now when i want to listen back to other stuff (from my library) i can't and nothing is loaded.
What i can't understand is to setup foo_utils to always activate and redirect to the Default playlist (ligical because "Radio" is read only anyway).

Maybe i'm not configuring well foo_utils, or if another plugin can make it right.

Thank you for your help guys.

Can you just not use the "defaul" playlist, and use a named playlist?  As far as everything happens for me, if I am plying a bunch of tracks in one playlist, switch to another (call it radio if you like) and then switch back, it's the same as it was, nothing disappeared.  I just loose the point of where I was up to.

playlist utilities lets me remove played and skipped tracks and have those tracks chucked into other playlists called " [..played]" and "[..skipped]".  Makes my life really easy for when I want to play a randomised list of my music library, without it losing itself if I skip a track.  I can also add new material, re sort/randomize and I don't play the same tracks again.

I probably didn't understand what you wanted exactly, so rephrase if you like

Thank you for your reply.

Yes i have actually 2 playlist in the switcher listbox : "Default" and "Radio".
Radio is set to read-only.
So when i want to load somme folder (from library) nothing happens.

My wish is to find some foo_ thing so that when i want to load new tracks from my library (while i'm in "Radio" playlist), it autommatically toggles from "Radio" playlist TO "Default".

If it exists...
