Title: Accidentally wipe out Playing Now?
Post by: SeanC on March 13, 2002, 09:25:24 am: I find that I often spend a fair amount of time choosing tracks to put in Playing Now, only to *accidentally* delete them by clicking 'Play' on a track.

Does this happen to anyone else?

How can I avoid this? Can we make it so that a warning dialog shows if you're about to do something that would wipe out a Playing Now list? Perhaps an undo or go-back for Playing Now?

If you set it to one of the "Add to Playing Now" options, you will never wipe out your carefully selected "Current List" again.

But you can set which of the two double-click does, and on the right-click menu, "Play" and "Add" are always next to each other so you can choose...
