How do you actually make a playlist? #138

I read the README as well as the keybindings page in the app, and it seemed to me that pressing X would save the songs in the Playlist page into a m3u file, and I think this is the intended option too, but pressing X for me pretty much does nothing every time.

After playing with it A LOT (opening it, selecting some songs, pressing X, over and over again), it finally managed to save an m3u file but it contained a completely different song from my library that wasn't even in my playlist page and hadn't been for a while.

I also saw the '. to add current song to kew.m3u' option, but that did nothing for me.

Ok, when you press x it saves (or should save) the current playlist to a .m3u file in your music folder. It will be named after the first song in the playlist. There was actually a bug in there, it sometimes wasn't able to find a name for the .m3u. I have committed a fix for this to the develop branch. Thank you for reporting this!

The other thing is when kew starts it reads kew.m3u into memory. Pressing '.' adds the currently playing song to that playlist. kew.m3u is then saved to your music folder, but this only happens when you exit kew. I have tried and this seems to work correctly.

My apologies for the confusion!

I just built the develop branch and it works now! Thanks.

By the way, love the app! By far the best looking player I've seen.

Thank you! Glad to hear that, it keeps me going.
