Options to choose which playlists show in "Add to Playlist" menu in BigBox

Issue #5078 new
Tristan created an issue

I make good use of playlists in BigBox - each family member has their own playlist for their faves. I have a couple of other playlists for organisation etc. We already have the option to hide auto-generated playlists from playlists view which is great, however when I go to the “Add to playlist” menu on a game all of the auto-generated playlists are there and I have to scroll right to the bottom to get to the playlists I’ve created for organisation.

There’s also a small problem with having a couple of playlists I would like to keep hidden when BigBox is locked. Mostly to keep some games hidden from smaller kids.

So I have a couple of ideas:

Good:
When “hide auto-generated playlists from playlist view” option is selected in BigBox, also hide them from the “Add to Playlist” menu.

Better:
Give us a whole separate option to hide auto-generated playlists from the playlist menu.

Best:
Give us a whole separate option to hide auto-generated playlists from the playlist menu, as well as checkboxes to show or hide specific user-created playlists from appearing in both the playlist view and the playlist menu when locked.

Extra Goodness: I would also love in LaunchBox a checkbox to show or hide auto-generated playlists when in playlist view. That list gets big when you have genres for every platform!

    Well this was fixed in 10.11 anyway for anyone reading. Auto-generated and auto-populated playlists no longer show up in Big Box’s Add to playlist menu.

    Nice to know it still got fixed even though no-one read this!
