Yes, the full name of a playlist is the full name, not the path. You name a folder on your computer as "Folder 2", that's the name of the folder, not "C:\Some Folder\Some Other Folder\Folder 2", that's the path, not the name. Saying "show the full name" would be relevant if for long playlists, it instead showed "This is a Long Playl..." instead of "This is a Long Playlist Entry"

And to clarify, when I wrote "belongs to," I meant it as that track is/is not in that particular playlist. I can create a manual playlist without a certain track in it, then nest another playlist under that one that does contain that certain track. While this playlist is nested under the first, the track isn't actually in/on that first playlist.

Chris, I believe that this http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5292 feature satisfies your needs.

i.e. When user double click on playlist in Track properties -> Classification -> Playlists then MM focuses the Playlist in the Main Explorer Tree.

Single-click, I find.

That's a great feature - thanks - and nice to have as workaround for the original issue but it does not satisfy my needs for full playlist names.

May I ask: would anyone here be unhappy with the list showing the full playlist name in the same way as the right-click Send to... Playlist menu? E.g. parent\child .

The main issue with this would be horizontal scrolling if many levels of lists or long names are used or vertical scrolling if each level is a new line. I actually think that would be a huge negative of this request.

Uh, since it is not a problem on the menu, how would it be a problem on this dialog??

As I said: the right-click Send to... Playlist menu.

Isn't the same thing and as such it works fine in a menu, but in a list would run into the issue I described for some users.

I do not see how your "horizontal scrolling if many levels of lists" could be an issue in the dialog where it is not an issue already in the menu.

I give my vote for this suggestion. I think that playlist paths should be displayed similar as it is displayed in the Send to menu for last saved playlists with "\" between every nested level.
