Media Library Playlist Prompt

When importing an active playlist into a ML playlist with tracks already in the list there is a prompt that asks whether you want to append overwrite or cancle. Instead of having buttons for Yes, No, Cancle there should be buttons that say Append, Overwrite, Cancle. Keeps things simple.

it just uses a normal messagebox to do that which doesn't allow for the text to be altered like that. i know you can hack things about to make the text change but really it's just down to how the OS works. if i get bored/have some free time i could make a silly plugin to do this for you

Naw don't waste your time. It only took me an extra 1.46 seconds to figure out what I had to do. I was forced to read a dialouge box instead of just picking the option that would give me the result I wanted. It just seems more natural to have an append, overwrite, cancle buttons for an append, overwrite, cancle options. Like having abort, retry, ignore instead of Click yes to abort, no to retry and cancle to ignore. Since Winamp is windows based only it should be hacked to be more natural.

but if you are feeling bored and have nothing better to do and you have a plugin already that seemed like it would naturally bennefit from this modification than go ahead and code away. Your time your choice.
