playlist options

David,

  Is there a preference to turn off receiving a new 
playlist (tab,window) when selecting a playlist item?

If I select an album from MyMusic-<artist>-<album>
the tracks are added to the main list.  However,
if I similarly select a playlist, a new window/tab is
created.  This does not bother me too much 
when using the default view, but I end up
with too many windows in the classic view.  


In a related issue, I think the option 
"By default queue tracks rather than play..."

should be removed and replaced with separate options:

1.  Autoclear: clear playlist on track addition
2.  Autoplay: Play immediately on track addition

Finally, aren't the options 
"Save current playlist..." and  "Open file to Last Selection"
related options, something like  
 autorestore: "Restore last playlist on startup"

These changes would mean:

on startup:  
    if autorestore and  there was previous playlist 
then   restore as current playlist

on track_add:

   if autoclear then remove previous entries
   if autoplay then play first track:


This might make it easier in the future to do the right
thing when drag-n-drop is added i.e. whether to clear
the playlist when new items are dragged in.  Shift-drag
might clear the autoclear flag during the drag for example.

And even more finally, all these options should be moved
to the playlist option tab...
