Basic AIMP Usage Question/s

[dec]

hi there

as much as i have digged and poked arouund, i still cannot find out how to do some basic functions. quite weird.

see attached screenshot of a small version of my screen and AIMP set-up. with its three main panels.

so.

1. how do i actually 'refresh'/rescan a PL?
because be stuffed if i can find that simple action

2. how do i simply DELETE a PL?
because i can find nothing that says 'Delete' or 'Delete PL'.
see attached.

3. see attached file/s

that is all i can remember atm :-)

cheers

how do i actually 'refresh'/rescan a PL?

Only smart-playlists can be refreshed (rescaned). For usual playlists, only tags rescanning is possible.

To create a smart-playlist based on music library, click the right mouse button in grouping tree's node and select "Create smart-playlist". Next, you will able to "reload data from the preimage" in misc. menu of playlist pance.

because i can find nothing that says 'Delete' or 'Delete PL'.

Click on the "Remove selected from disk". If you want just close the playlist tab - just uncheck it mark.

that is all i can remember atm :-)

1) how to reproduce that? can you explain your actions via step-by-step instruction?
2) because playlist's location is empty (I think, playlist was not yet saved by app)

remove selected from disk appears to be under Manage PL, not on RMC (right mouse click)

your Help says that rescan/load PL is in MISCELLANEOUS menu (attached)

Sure, who really read hints for a buttons?! I understand that people don't have free time to familiarize themselves with app UI, but for some reason they always have time to discuss on forums...

P.S. Yep, our interface may be not so usual in modern world, but it so known for all users who any once uses old-school's legend - Winamp. 5 general buttons in playlist pane (add, remove, misc, sort and manage) - these are we take from Winamp.
