Remember file name and type

Remember file name and file type when saving playlist.

That should already be happening. From what specific UI action is it not doing that?

If I hit Save Playlist, it's not showing previous file name, and defaults to M3U8, see attached screen.

I thought I'd added it to that but seems not with the filename so that'll need to be added in a later build.

The filter selection is coded to be remembered but it looks like when I changed to use m3u8 as the default instead of m3u years back now I messed up the checking to avoid it saving out non-default values which broke it for remembering m3u as the filter selection (m3u8 & pls are being remembered correctly from my re-testing).

Keep in mind that *.m3u8 is reserved to VLC video player - the most distributed video player - on many PCs.
Better use the traditional extensions m3u & pls for audio playlists.

I never use Winamp for videos.

What are you going on about? m3u8 is just the m3u playlist file format using utf-8 encoding with a different file extension to give programs a potential hint of the encoding that is in no way limited to VLC. Nor is there anything stopping someone from saving such playlist files with the m3u extension (letting the program loading it figure it out) or just naming it using "my_super_spiffy_extension".

I'm not takling about any limitations.

I just mentioned that m3u8 is most likely linked to a video application like VCL. More than 500 Million PCs use that video app. And yes, it can play audio files as well.
