Summary0001332: Better sharing between Advanced Searches and Advanced AutoPlaylists
DescriptionPer user feedback, users sometimes want to use an AutoPlaylist to generate a search, or a search to generate an AutoPlaylist. This can be accomplished via the following change:

-In the Search Panel add a 'Save as AutoPlaylist...' button between OK and Cancel
-In the AutoPlaylist Panel:
--change 'OK' to 'Save AutoPlaylist'
--add a 'Search' button between 'Save AutoPlaylist' and Cancel

Setting as 'urgent' on the assumption that this is trivial to implement.

Related usecase that this would solve:

This feature will satisfy the usecase even more once 0001331 is resolved (however, 0001331 isn't a necessary precursor to solving this).
TagsNo tags attached.

I think that the button would unnecessarily clutter the dialog, I would rather create a context menu entry visible for auto-playlists and search node that would open the 'Save Playlist' dialog letting user to save the selected item under another name.

Rusty:
I really like your idea of having a 'Save as AutoPlaylist...' context entry, though I think that the original idea of having this as a button in the search dialog makes sense (and wouldn't be too visually cluttered).

Can we try implementing both?

Verified contex-menu functionality in 812. It works, but it satisfies the requirement in a manner that requires the user to go through many extra/unnecessary steps. I've opened a new bug 0001637 to track this.
