Playlist entry relative 'Locate' function on non-missing tracks ?

[alec.tron]

Heya,
as playlists go, sometimes you get better encodings/versions of the same track and want to update the playlist entries.
So I was hoping to use the'Locate' functionality MusicBee kicks off when double-clicking a missing file from a playlist - which then allows you to point to a different file.
I can not seem to find this in the menus anywhere... does this exist on its' own ?
Or is the only way to trigger this to first remove/rename the original file, restart/rescan MB, then use the missing file context to access the 'Locate' menu ?

Cheers.

You can use Send To > File (Replace) to do this.

You can use Send To > File (Replace) to do this.

In right click menu ?
I could only find:
Send To > Folder (Replace)

Which does something else entirely for me...i.e. it moved the new / pointed-to-file (a better .flac version [of the same in a different location]) to the replaced-file location on disc. This resulted in a single flac file being removed from where it was before, and is now sitting in the 320kbps version of the same album.
Once I moved the file back to where it belonged (I still wish there was a way to disable ALL file movement convenience functions as I consider this harmfull, especially if there's no user warnings about the implications either).

Funnily enough - now that I moved the flac file, which was moved by MusicBee in the background, back to where it belongs, and re-starting MusicBee to use the missing file 'locate' trick - it now does not pop up with the locate window - instead it just pops up an error window 'Can't find file'. After giving MB the usual 4-6 minutes to scan the whole library, it finally realized it's gone, and offered the missing file dialogue and the 'locate' function on double click again.

Is there a
Send To > File (Replace)
? If it is - where would I find that ?
or did you meant the
Send To > Folder (Replace)
function, which did the above...?

Cheers.

No, sorry.  If you're just wanting to change the playlist entry, add the new file and delete the old one.  That's the only way.

Heya,
yea, that would work for 1 entry in 1 playlist.
The beauty of the locate function for me though is (since I use playlists to document past sets I've played live and on radio... and I'm doing this for +10 years already, so there's a fair amount of playlists involved...) that it replaces multiple occurrences of the same file... which I would love to use actively, without having to temp-delete the to-be-updated file first to get MusicBee to give me the relocate option in order to swap out a single file in multiple playlists...
Guess I'll post a wishlist thread and keep using the temp-delete trick to get to the 'locate' function.
Cheers.
