In Response To: Non Standard use of Save Icon (Paul Willmott)

>>
Your use of the save icon in CDJ is not consistent with Windows standards, also the lack of a New playlist command/icon

makes creating new playlists a bit confusing.

To create a new play list you currently have to:

1). Open an existing playlist.

2). Clear it's contents

3). Copy in tracks

4). Hit "Save" icon, which brings up save as screen

5). Type new name

This is not correct Windows

I agree. The only reason it is this way is that CDJ does not currently support multiple playlists. Once it does, I will impliment the standard MDI options and everything will make sense.

1). You need a New button, this should bring up a blank playlist with no filename attached.

2). The Save icon should initiate the Save As command if the playlist has no filename, otherwise the existing filename should

be default in Dialog box.

#2 used to be exactly the way you describe, but people complained when they found themselves accidentally overwriting thier playlists at the push of a button. That's why I reverted to "Save As"
