As we discussed in the thread viewtopic.php?t=65918 about the save playlist functionality without any action in all v1.0.x releases, but working well in the older v0.9.x versions, I was excited to know how the new v1.0.33-RC (running on WinXP Pro SP3) would behave in this point, read your team worked on the QT4 issues around the playlist in the changelog.

Well, still a little disappointment at this time. There's still no any reaction after clicking that menu item or using the shortcut Ctrl-Y like in all previous v1.0.x.

Any clue about this?

It works here. Ctrl+Y doesn't open a dialog? Did you delete preferences and cache?

No, I did not, because I have numberous manual changed settings to be kept!

Is there any way to keep all my own settings, while clearing the playlist preferences?

So, a trial on myself solved the problem! I've backed up the whole vlc preferences file folder (C:\Documents and Settings...), then re-installed vlc player with the option clearing the preferences & the caches and observed the behaviour of the preferences files (vlc-qt-interface.ini & vlcrc) after successfully (!!!) activating the file dialog box for saving the playlist in file.

The main differences between the old (not functioning) and the new contents of vlc-qt-interface.ini are in these sections:
So I restored my saved vlcrc and the rest of vlc-qt-interface.ini and kept the above entries empty. It works now fine with all my previous settings! It seems they were mainly stored in vlcrc.

Thank you for the infos!

Nice greetings!
