moudrost Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Occasionally I need to remove the playlists from a platform category. If I use the option when right clicking on a category and selecting the option to remove all playlists, it will sometimes destroy the structure of similar naming categories. For example, I just removed them from Nintendo Game Boy and all the playlists for Nintendo Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Game Boy Color were set with no parent as well making a mess of things. I then have go delete 100 playlists by hand and then rebuild them for those two. It will work most of the time leaving only behind the playlists I created manually, but it can be frustrating to have to cleanup a mess like that. Is there a better way to accomplish a complete wipe of playlists from a category? I'd prefer not to have to delete anything but there has been a long standing issue of scanning for new ROMs and it sometimes doesn't import them because a version of the ROM is already present and it will ignore the ROM but show that it is ready for import the next time you run it. The only way I have been able to get around that is to delete the entire platform and start over. Any tips would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 I was just able to replicate an example. I need to remove playlists from NGP. I run this... This mess is now created by NGP Color. All of these stray play modes and regions are from that category instead of the one I was working on.
