thou must use the save playlist button conveniently located right there 
as a big button.


Of course, if the list you're manipulating (but dont want to overwrite) 
isn't currentlist.m3u that method wont be what you want.  Your idea also 
wont be of any help to people who keep the playlist open all the time 
(like me).  The only sure way to do things is to make a temp list (not 
like currentlist.m3u is) whenever we open a playlist and save the list 
whenever we alter something about the playlist.  This wont for instance, 
be done for every file if you select a bajillion files but at the end of 
the method after it has finished processing all the files in the list. 
Something like that.  But as i mentioned  before.  Priorities are not 
quite at this point yet.
