Need a way to delete saved playlists through command line interface
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
Currently, through the command line interface, people can save the current playlist with a name, but not delete saved ones. It will be good if we can issue some kind of commands to delete saved ones. Here is an example of possible command structure, playlistdeletes <taggedParameters> where <taggedParameters> can be, playlist_id --- the id number as returned by the playlists command or even, playlist_name --- the playlist name as returned by the playlists command, but I like the id number more. It will be good if we can a single command to delete a single track in the saved playlist as well. However, at this stage, we can load the playlist into a player, delete/move tracks, then save it back with the same name to overwrite the file, so this one is not crucial. However, I think we really, really need to have a way in command line interface to remove saved playlist(s) completely...
headsup to fred on this one, in case there is room on the list.
Can do of course. Problem is probably untangling the current playlist management code to make them proper commands. why the s in "playlistdeletes"? Otherwise syntax with ID looks good.
Checked in "playlist deleteplaylist" in SVN 8125.
playlists delete playlist_id:XX in SVN 8326.
