-- However if you would like to have the functionaity to permanently delete the file, could you add this to the wishlist --
Hi Steven,
here I am. A short explanation why this is IMHO useful: I tag all songs that I don't like with 1 star. Then I have an autoplaylist which shows only songs with 1 star.
In this way I can get rid of all unwanted songs in a convenient way.
Another example is an autoplaylist which contains all songs from one artist. If I find duplicates in this playlist I like to have the possibility to delete them permanently.
I think the best way is to let the user decide if he or she wants to remove the song from the playlist or delete it permanently.

+1
Perhaps Shift+Del or even just in the right-click menu?

shift-del is already implemented for anywhere but playlists
Adson, you would only be able to permanently delete the file when deleting from an auto-playlist as the files in an auto-playlist are included by a filter criteria

I am not sure that I understand what you mean. My simple idea was that I can delete every file which is shown in a playlist or in other lists in MB. I am aware the difference between removing from a list and physically deleting a file. My wish was to have both options.

I wanted to +1 this feature too.
This feature already exist. (I can click the delete button in a autoplaylist and remove the file from playlist and computer). It would just be nice to have in the right click menu and not so hidden.
I dont see why not :/
Thanks
-
it should be in the right click menu for auto-playlists - that was added a couple of releases ago
-
Steven, where can I see the list of deleted from auto-playlist files? I saw the appropriate strings in translation file, but cannot see them in UI.
-
is the same command as removing files from normal playlists - right click/ Remove

Just edit the autoplaylist. There's a button there called "Exceptions"
EDIT
But as far as I know you cannot actually remove a specific fils from the computer unless you delete the whole playlist
-
when you remove a file from a playlist or auto-playlist you are prompted to remove it from the playlist only or from the computer, unless you ticked 'do not ask again' in which case it will only remove the (auto)playlist without prompt
to renable the prompt, you can edit the Confirmation settings in the main preferences panel

I had the option ticked and it wouldn't prompt me with that option. After unticking and ticking again it works. Any idea what might have caused this?

Sorry, but I like the current dialogue - it's clear, consistent and safe.
Also, the original request is being made from an inappropriate use of auto-playlists - a custom search
or library filter is much more appropriate I would have thought.
So -1 for this request from my perspective.
-
I dont really see the point of resurrecting this really old thread.
The functionality requested is already available!!!
-
Ehh sorry must be a couple of releases behind ;)

you might also check the Confirmations setting in the main preferences panel. If you disabled the prompt in the past you would need to re-enable it to see the options
