| Summary | 0018496: Manual reloading/refreshing of Auto-Playlists | ||||
| Description | There 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. |

Ctrl+F5 would work, but users would hardly realize that Ctrl+F5 can be used to this.. So the solution could be to have [Random track (auto-refresh)] and [Random track (Ctrl+F5 to refresh)] ? i.e. just rename 'Random track' => 'Random track (Ctrl+F5 to refresh)' where 'Ctrl+F5 to refresh' would be a new string to localize? |

Good idea, I would also add 0021056 for the users in touch screen mode in order to cover all aspects mouse way and shortcut. |
