jEmplode v45 has what I consider improper copy behaviour: if I have a playlist, and I copy it to another section (via copy/paste), and then I modify the name of the copy... the name of the original changes too. Not what I want. Also, any changes I make inside the playlist take effect both places... so removing a sub-playlist in one removes it from both. In other words, the copy is acting like a symlink, not a copy.

I believe that you want to be using jEmplode's ``deep copy/paste''.

This is normal behavior for both Emplode and Jemplode. You're missing the point of how the player is organized. It's designed so that you don't waste space with copies. Each copy is just a link back to the original. FAQ entry here. You want something other than a "copy", which has been discussed elsewhere in this thread.

Hrm, okay, so it's working as intended... which I guess also explains the hang I got due to infinite recursion when I accidentally pasted the top-level playlist into a sub-sub-playlist of itself. I thought that might be it. Okay, so with deep copy/paste is there some way to dup just the playlist and not everything under it? (at work now, so I can't go test)
