playlist lock doesn't prevent deleting

[fdjkhfkl]

when a playlist is locked, the order can't be changed but pressing delete will still delete it. this should be probably be prevented as well

If you're referring to the Navigation Lock being applied to a playlist tab, then this is not a bug. It is a NAVIGATION lock. As far as I can recall, there is no method to lock a playlist other than by the method I described. If you are referring to something else, please post a screenshot showing exactly where this lock is.

I can't remember if it's on a static or auto playlist, but one of the two has a lock button near the settings on a playlist header.
I haven't played around with it before to see what it locks and what it doesn't.

Interesting. I now see that it's on static playlists only. And I've never noticed it before. Thanks Mayibongwe.

Not able to test it right now, but if what you say is true, then I'm inclined to agree with you there.
A locked playlist shouldn't permit the removal of songs within that playlist.
(unless maybe it's a removal from both the library and computer too).

You can lock a static playlist ('lock' button on playlist header or right-click on playlist name > Lock Playlist)

This does prevent dragging of tracks to a different position in the playlist and prevents changing the manual order of tracks +++. It also prevents deletion of the playlist. You can still sort the playlist tracks by clicking on a column header (but you cannot update the playlist order).

The OP is correct in that it does not prevent deletion of tracks from within the playlist and I agree that it does seem like something it should do.

Not sure if this should be a wishlist request rather than a bug report though.

Thanks for the detailed feedback on what that button covers tjinc.
And yes, this largely falls on the wishlist margins of the forum.

Edit: somewhat off-topic, but this is the ideal kind of detailed info we'd want to have on the Wiki too.
I don't think it's been updated since Psychoadept last worked on it (whom btw I haven't seen on the forum in a bit and I hope he's alright).

i agree Delete should be disabled and thats now done for the next patch update.
However the "Include in Playlist" function still lets you add files due to performance reasons

unzip and replace the existing musicbee application files

thank you!

this will prevent unintentionally songs deletion when musicbee is accidentally in focus on another screen
