Title: Empty playlist is deleted when exit
Post by: circcc on August 14, 2021, 01:20:56

Moreover, empty Default playlist is deleted if other non-empty playlist exist when exit too.
Is it normal or bug?
If it is normal, Is there an option to keep it from being deleted except for preimage?

This is my first time using AIMP(v5.00.2320 Beta3) and this is strange.

What reason to keep an empty playlists?

It's like a folder. For example, put songs in the K-Pop playlist and leave it blank when you get tired of listening to it. Then put in new songs. If the K-Pop playlist is deleted every time it is left blank, it is annoying because it has to be recreated every time. I used playlist like this in winamp media library.

AIMP tries to keep you free of garbage

Oh, seems its a root of the issue.

I have a different perspective:

I have each album in its own folder within Playlists.

When I select Removal and  Physically Delete Selected Files for a particular album, I *want* the <album_name> folder to be deleted also -- but AIMP does not delete it, and leaves me with a bunch of empty folders.

Can I change this behavior?
