1183 Same-named playlist causes loss upon sync [#5814]

[chrisjj]

If I sync a playlist having the same name but in a different parent folder as one already synced, the old list is lost - the new list is given the same name on the device and hence overwrites the old.

(Tested with d_USBMass1.DLL.)

Wouldn't that be expected behavior as playlists are copied into the same folder on the device? What would you propose as a different approach.

I for one would not expect MM to be so dumb as to copy such playlists to the same folder on the device, without at least disambiguating the names.

And then fail to warn of the overwrite.

[Lowlander]

A warning message should happen, I agree with that.

Use folders, device permitting. Else add a suffix to the playlist name.
