Yeah, that's closer to what I was thinking. You could have the popup dialog be like the classic "browse folders tree dialog" common in so many
programs, including MM, except it would only contain the playlist structure. You could just click around for what you want to send to.
Context menus mean well but they are difficult to navigate. You have to move the mouse up and down or over right with a high a degree of precision.
The slightest little wrong direction or too far movement causes the submenus to disappear and you have to reposition to get it to come back. Not so with
a browse dialog.
I definitely don't want anything that pre-constructs or suggests a new list like
Classic Jazz or
Modern Jazz. That gunks up the list with what could just be
"in the way" unused stuff. Reminds me of the "unused genres" issue. Or, were those just examples of possible lists someone might happen to have?
