I can certainly see the benefit but there is a challenge. What to do with the displayed playlist name when the Queue which contains only the playlists' tracks is altered by adding tracks, albums, or radio stations directly from the Library?
I suppose "(modified)" or some other indicator could be added to the name. What do you think?
Display somewhere on the main Playback screen. I hadn't thought of 'above or below,' but thinking on that it seems to be that 'below' would be better. If only floating above the Queue, with the contents of the Queue flowing under it like water under a bridge. Is this possible? I'm thinking about some CSS hijinks I've seen as an example, but not having knowledge of how Moode was programmed to display stuff, I can't really say much more than that.
As for the indicator, possibly. Given a Playlist named "Awesome Stupendously Boring Playlist," should something be added and the '(modified)' indicator get added to make it 'Awesome Stupendously Boring Playlist (Modified)' could also serve as a reminder to actually save the playlist and its additions before closing the player and/or shutting down.
I jest in using that long name but to be serious for a moment, filenames of a given length would have to either be scrolled or have some kind of tooltip that shows the whole thing. The idea of playlist name limits remind me of DOS and its 8.3 filename format and trying to think of something to describe a given file. Is there a limit for MPD's playlists file names? I actually don't know...
I had a passing thought about changing the color of a modified playlist's title or just flashing or pulsing it to draw attention, but I think it would be best to set that thought down. That might be too much.
