Bug Description

Selecting a few files from my music library and selectionning "Add to Playlist" -> "New Playlist" creates a playlist with an empty name. I expected the playlist to be named "New Playlist" as it happens when one creates it manually by right clicking on the left panel.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Still applicable to the version of Rhytmbox shipped with 12.04. This bug is still not fixed in the latest version in 14.04, although the behaviour has changed a bit.

In Rhythmbox v3.0.1, "Add to Playlist" -> "New Playlist" still creates a Playlist with a blank name but moves straight to renaming mode to allow the user to enter a playlist name right after adding the files. However, one can still create a playlist with a blank name inadvertently by just clicking somewhere else.

A more adequate behaviour would be to provide "New Playlist" as default name regardless and keep the current behaviour of moving to renaming mode should the user choose to rename the playlist to a different name straight away.
