            Bug ID: 362018
           Summary: Saving playlist feature extremely rough...
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.8.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Playlist
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: evert.vorster@yandex.com

A little background information.... 
I was migrating from internal database to external one, and I have a sizable
collection, with 80,000 songs. With this collection I also have quite a few
playlists stored in the database. 

First thing I tried was to try and drag my from the database to files on disk. 
This appeared to work, and I could load the playlists into the main playlist. 
However, when I switched to the new database, I was no longer able to open the
playlists that were saved to disk, as they appeared corrupted.

I then tried the export playlist function in the context menu of the database
of saved playlists. However the exported file was not loadable by amarok. 

The next thing I tried was to switch back to the previous database, load a
saved playlist, then save it to disk by clicking on the "save" button. This
very helpfully saved the playlist back to the database. There is a little down
arrow next to the save icon, which would normally mean that there are some
options, like where to save the playlist. However, this little down arrow does
nothing, and the playlist just gets saved to the database. 

Selecting all songs in the playlist and dragging the songs to a new playlist on
disk worked. 
It was a bit tedious doing every saved playlist I have like this.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Consistent and solid saved playlist handling, Icons to actually do what they
suggest to be doing
