I know that one can save the settings, yet it might make sense to remember the seetings without saving them, in case the user only uses that one setting and thus sees no need to save the settings.

Remember without saving? How?
Comment 2 S. Burmeister 2009-10-01 08:06:26 UTC 
Without forcing the user to save them explicitely. Amarok saves things like which view was set-up etc. without doing so. There should only be the need to save explicitely if the user wants to have more than one preset.

Well, I didn't know that Amarok had a brain, and even then, it still as an act of saving. Think a bit :) Remembering settings without saving those in a file is simply not possible, how would you do this technically? By some snake-oil magic maybe?
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-10-01 11:03:14 UTC 
Silly me.. sorry, Sven, I just didn't understand, you mean that the chosen dynamic setting should be saved  by default without the user having to save it, now I understand.

No worries, the same happens to me as well from time to time. And you could still claim that my initial description was not precise enough. :p

Amarok now always writes back changes to the dynamic playlists. There are no "modified" playlist any longer.
