Summary0018496: Manual reloading/refreshing of Auto-Playlists
DescriptionThere was some discussion about the need to be able manually reload auto-playlists for cases where the user doesn't want to configure the playlist to 'Auto-refresh'. Also, it can be _really_ confusing to figure out how to trigger the playlist to completely reload (see 0014553.). It was proposed to use a [Refresh] or [Reload] button along with F5.

This needs to be thought through carefully because:
a) we don't want to imply that the playlist doesn't refresh on it's own--as it does. We'd probably have to review the terminology. eg.
- AutoPlaylists with the 'Select by X (Auto-refresh)' option automatically refresh the playlist each time the playlist is viewed/synced
- AutoPlaylists without 'Auto-refresh' option, automatically 'reload' tracks (?but don't refresh sort order?) when track criteria no longer match
 - manual 'Refresh'
b) F5 has a different effect wrt of refreshing a Playlist view after sorting it with a header (revert to actual play order sort).

Ctrl+F5 could be used as a force refresh (ie. as Auto-Refresh) like in browsers (so a random limited list would get a new random set), leaving F5 itself to revert sort order to Playlist sort.
