Summary0021530: Ability to export auto-playlist criteria
DescriptionCurrently user can export all playlists like M3U format which is still just list of tracks..
i.e. importing such a playlist(s) looses original auto-playlist criteria

Exporting auto-playlists with its set of criteria would be beneficial..

EDIT: When user uses Right click -> Send to -> M3U/XSPF on Auto-Playlist in tree then *.mmap would be also Auto Created alongside selected playlist format, so that MM can import it as Auto Playlist

Implemented in 2026.0.0.3402

Added to File > Export > Export all playlists..
where each '*.m3u' file is now exported together with associated '*.mmap' file including the auto-playlist criteria (JSON format)

Later during scan/import of M3U playlists when the accompanying *.mmap file exists (with the same filename) then it is imported as auto-playlist (instead of standard playlist)

It would be nice if users can export AutoPlaylists via the existing Context Menu export mechanism as well.

re 0021530:0081622: Do you mean Right click -> Send to -> M3U/XSPF ?

Yes

Right click -> Send to -> M3U/XSPF operates above tracklist (not auto-playlist) so I wouldn't mix this functionality...

Leaving it for File > Export > Export all playlists..
as originaly implemented.

It should only do mmap when an AutoPlaylist is exported via the Context Menu, it doesn't need to do so when a list of files or any other tree node is exported this way.

The current method would require a user to export potentially thousands of Playlists to get 1 specific AutoPlaylist with mmap.
