Something broke in the way playlists are handled by the tag action window. Many different symptoms.

The playlist section of my tree looks something like:

Playlists
  Car Radio
  PlaylistGroup
      PlaylistSubGroup1
           Playlist1
           Playlist2
      PlaylistSubGroup2
           Playlist3
           etc.
       PlaylistSubGroup3
           etc.
       SmartlistsGroup
           Smartlist1
           Smartlist2
           etc.
  Smartlists (stock)
     StockSmartlist1
     StockSmartlist2
     etc.
  Recently Imported
  Web Media

Symptoms:

1) Adding playlists to customize tag action window always places the playlists at the bottom and it cannot be moved up. A work around is to add something else where you want it, say for example a divider, and then change the divider to playlists.

2) Not all PlaylistSubGroups are displayed in the tag action window. I can't make make rhyme or reason for why some are displayed and others are not. It might have something to do with PlaylistSubGroup having the same name as a custom view in the main tree, but I'm not sure. In my above example, the groups "Car Radio", "Smartlists (stock)", and one of my PlaylistSubGroups named "Device Media" is not not displayed in the tag action window.

Could you email me a library backup (matt at jriver dot com) and include the name of the playlist that isn't showing up?

I have a guess about what might be happening, but a library would really help.

Thanks.

Sorry, it's my private data but I'm happy to answer questions or to do experiments to help track it down.

Keep in mind that smartlists don't show there.  So groups of smartlists won't show either.

That's a good clue.

I have several PlaylistSubGroups with the following structure that are displayed correctly in the tag action window (before and after 25.0.75), without the smartlist.

PlaylistSubGroup
  PlaylistSubSubGroup
     Playlist1
     Playlist2
     etc.
  Smartlist

I have one PlaylistSubGroup with the following structure that is not displayed at all in the tag action window. This is the one that prior to 25.0.75 was displayed correctly without the smartlist.

PlaylistSubGroup
  PlaylistSubSubGroup
     PlaylistSubSubSubGroup1
        Playlist1
        Playlist2
        etc.
     PlaylistSubSubSubGroup2
         Playlist1
         Playlist2
         etc.
     etc.
  Smartlist

I think the only way we can figure it out is if you mail me a library backup.  I'll erase it as soon as I'm done investigating.

Did you notice that the only one that has disappeared from my tag action window is the only one I have with an extra level of group hierarchy?

[BigSpider]

The OP is correct in that you can only see a single level of playlist subgroup:
Classical with a subgroup Concerts works fine but if there are further levels for example:
Classical>Concerts>Live then the whole Concerts subgroup is lost from the tag window playlist section.

I think I reproduced it.

Just to wrap this up, it will be fixed next build.

I actually had sent the team an email riddling whether my new playlist enumeration optimization needed to loop in case it found a child before a parent.  It didn't need it on my library or a test library with 1000's of playlists, but it did need it once you created enough levels.

Thanks for all the help.
