Renaming duplicate tracks main playlist and alternate playlists
Hi!
I'm working on a script that involves duplicating a track to get rid of it's original group assignments (which is the only way I found to do it completely automatically).
I have no problem renaming the duplicate track's MAIN (displayed) playlist, but I'd like to know if there is a way to expand the track view to see all playlists and simply get rid of the ".dup1" or ".dup2" on the duplicate.
I know that the track rename dialog extends to playlists when the are all visible. So I guess it would have to map all playlists for a specific track and go rename them (taking out the extension). Would that be a right start?
Anyone would know something about that? @chrscheuer maybe?
Thank you lots!

This would eliminate the need for extensive checking for playlist suffixes that are created when renaming the playlists.

Hey @Chris_Shaw ! Thank you for the idea.
It could work but will indeed need a bit of coding. And might also require to setup a folder in the finder where to store the "track session" as a pre-requisite.Thanks!
