Auto-Regenerate Auto-Generated Playlists When Games Change

📋 Summary

Currently, LaunchBox allows you to auto-generate Playlists (e.g., by Genre, Region, etc.) when right-clicking on a Platform. However, if you later add or remove games, these Playlists don’t update automatically. This request proposes an option for LaunchBox to dynamically regenerate auto-generated Playlists whenever the game library changes.

🎯 Feature Overview

• Add a setting to enable auto-regeneration of auto-generated Playlists.

• When games are added or removed, LaunchBox would update Playlists accordingly (e.g., new Genres or Regions).

• Optionally prompt users for confirmation before creating or removing Playlists.

• Could be toggled per-platform or globally.

🛠 Example Use Case

• A user generates Genre Playlists for their SNES library. Later, they add several new SNES ROMs, some with Genres that weren’t previously represented. With auto-regeneration enabled, LaunchBox automatically creates new Genre Playlists for those games.

• If a user deletes a game and that Genre no longer exists in the library, LaunchBox could remove the corresponding Playlist automatically.

📦 Benefits

• Keeps auto-generated Playlists up-to-date automatically.

• Saves users from manually regenerating Playlists every time they update their libraries.

• Ensures new games are immediately discoverable via Playlists.

• Improves usability for users with large or frequently updated collections.
