Steps
- Open a broken playlist in the Playlists Editor.
- Run the Repair Playlist Wizard and let it finish.
- If, and whenever, the Select Closest Matches modal presents list of closest matches for the remaining broken playlist entries:
Problem
Let's say the list in (3.) above, contains 100 proposed tracks for matching, one of which is but a total mismatch. Let's further say that this non-matching track sits lodge at number 50 on the list.
What is the user to do upon reaching number 50 on the list? This is the crux of the matter. Should the list be closed by cancelling the operation in order to first fix the non-matching track, or should the user continue to finish checking the complete list, risking not efficiently finding culprit number 50 which is now disguised by another matched track-name? In practice it is actually worse than that, and is especially prominent and very time-consuming on long match-lists.
Proposal
Select Closest Matches modal: Add an option to save user-verified matching tracks when closing the modal.
