When saving playlists in Theater View, I've never been a huge fan with the way MC defaults to saving ALL lists in the "Theater View" folder. I would like to choose whatever available folder I have - remembered between sessions. This also brings me to my next point: Why was the CLEAR button removed from the On Screen Keyboard? It's sooooo tedious to have to BACKSPACE through the default playlist name (Theater View\<date><time>) everytime I want to create a new one when I used to be able to remove it with one simple button click.

I use the save playlist feature in Theater View a lot and these simple tweeks would make the whole experience much better.

Thanks.

I asked about it awhile back ... apparently removed because it was causing confusion with the backspace key. I don't know how "backspace" and "clear" could be confusing if you know the meaning of each. So ATM, we're stuck with too many backspace clicks to clear the search box. I vote for bringing it back.

How on Earth could "Backspace" be confused with "Clear"  :-\ ?  Even if it was to some, couldn't the CLEAR button have simply been renamed rather than losing the functionality altogether?
