Hmmm ... unless I'm missing something, which is quite possible, it appears that once I've opened a set-list I can no longer get back to the "Favorite Songs" list in the "Favorite Songs" dialog. [Clear] just empties the content, [Load Set] won't offer SongFavorites.txt for load, even restarting BiaB does not load the list. I tried loading a non-existant .FSO ... no joy, but it did then offer all file-types instead of just *.FSO, so I navigated to the bb/Preferences folder and ... no SongFavorites.txt file! I opened a backup copy that my editor had left behind and got a (possibly corrupt) list of files all marked --- (N/A) ---. I tried another backup (SongFavorutes.txt.un~ and got a quite obviously corrupt list. The SongFavorites.txt file and .FSO files are different structures, so that's no surprise to me. Sigh!

Edit: I'm also a bit puzzled why SongFavorites.txt and the .FSO files use different structures as they seem to contain essentially equivalent information.

Edit: SongFavorites.txt seems to contain only the contents of the last .FSO file I opened, not my 'favorite' songs. What is the point of apparently two different features in the same space overwiting each other? Rhetorical again.

Edit: The favorites folder also seems to be the last folder from which one loaded a song, so the whole set-list concept seems toi be built on quicksand. I guess thay work if one has only one folder, but they appear to fail fairly catastropically if one has any kind of heirarchical filing system.
