Closing or Opening a Play List. A Bug?

[George]

I believe that is that way to get you up and running fast if you ever had a glitch at a show and had to shut down or re-boot.

Then you'd be mighty glad that playlist came back up.

At Least that's my understanding of it.

George, the part about it opening up with the list opened is fine. I have no problem with that.

The problem is:
There should be a "Close" for that list so you can "Open" another one. "New" seemingly should mean "open a new list", not create one. but it makes one and names it against your intentions. "SaveAs" that should do that task. Look at any other program in "File" on the menu bar.

Sorry I misunderstood.

I don't think what you want is a bug in the program.

You might want to consider posting your desires in the Hoster New Features Request forum. MTU pays close attention to all suggestions.

there is no close option, it just keeps saving the def. in oder starting with the #def001. the only way to get rid of them is to delete in explorer.

Thanks George. You are right George. I will

Right there is no close, New is doing that with unwanted results.
That is the action that SaveAs or Save should have. I think it is the defaults in the program that keep the last opened list file opened.

No quite so.
But you can delete them from the Context window where you select them from without opening Windows Explorer.

thats what i meant if your advanced. i dont know how advanced you are.

I think advanced enough to know that the tasks on under "File" are not completely standard with Windows. Advanced enough to write my own code for web pages from scratch, and advanced enough to be a President of a computer club of more than 100 members.
A program should not intentionally create something that forces you to delete if you didn't ask for it. It doesn't do it to all play lists. That is the reason I am calling it a bug, because it is not consistant with all lists. Maybe adding the Close task will actually close the file so you can open another one, not a newly created one.
What ever state you close Hoster in, that is how it will open. It has nothing to do with the other tasks on the File menu.

I think you know better than that Gearge. Are you telling me that what I discovered is normal, and as these files are created, I should merely delete them and the problem is solved. Just so the program has a safety device.
I think when MTU reads this thread we will understand more about it.
The program operates too good to have such a small thing spoil it.
