| Summary | 0005814: Same-named playlist causes loss upon sync | ||||
| Description | If I sync a playlist having the same name but in a different parent folder as one already synced, the old list is lost - the new list is given the same name on the device and hence overwrites the old. (Tested with d_USBMass1.DLL.) Suggested fix: a) Ideally use folders on the device (device permitting) or add a numeric suffix to the playlist name, failing which b) Skip clashing playlists, alerting the user. | ||||

It probably would make sense to create the filename as Playlist - Imported Playlists - ABBA - The Best.m3u or Playlist/Imported Playlists/ABBA/The Best.m3u (based on the '[x] Organize Playlist using: [...]' settings) for a playlist located in the tree as Playlist -> Imported Playlists -> ABBA -> The Best |

> It probably would make sense to create the filename as > Playlist - Imported Playlists - ABBA - The Best.m3u I disagree, since that too could cause clashes because "-" is not reserved in playlist names. > or Playlist/Imported Playlists/ABBA/The Best.m3u That sounds good. Though I suggest it be optional, since it seems likely it is not compatible with all devices. I suggest the best UI for this would be one like the existing "Sync tracks to:". |

Raised priority to 'urgent', this issue becomes problematic also with relation to MMA sync and this: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=74436 Mark's request. |

Fixed in build 1676. If there are 3 playlists with name 'MyPlaylist' on the sync-list, then 3 different playlist filenames are used: /Playlists/MyPlaylist.m3u /Playlists/MyPlaylist_1.m3u /Playlists/MyPlaylist_2.m3u |
