11 - "Assign" Playlists to Events
== PURPOSE ==
Give users the option to "assign" playlists (created through Soundtrack's playlist fetaure) to events, rather than individual songs. In reality it isn't being "assigned", it's just copying the playlist's tracks and assigning them an event.
== REPRESENTATION AND MANIPULATION ==
It should simply be a list of the playlists that were made through the Soundtrack feature. There will simply be the names of the playlists, with no check boxes.
== PLACEMENT ==
The most effective way of going about this is to make the Track Library window tabbable, just like the Assigned Tracks / Event Settings window is. Next to the Track Library header, there should be a tab that says "Playlists", which will change the window into a selectable (not checkable) list of internal playlists made through Soundtrack.
== BEHAVIORS ==
Selecting an event and clicking on any of the playlists will automatically add all of the playlist's tracks to the currently selected event. It will not remove any already assigned tracks from the event.
== JUSTIFICATION ==
Being able to assign the contents of a playlist to events will allow players to quickly assign preset lists of songs to events, instead of scrolling down the entire tracklist to find each individual track. This is good for if, for example, a player has a sudden mood change and suddenly wants to swap out his Star Wars combat music for Metal Gear Solid combat music, but doesn't want to go through the trouble of assigning each individual track.

Possible changes to this: Create a button(s) next to the "Track Filter" that will toggle between Playlists and Tracks. Allow a person to select Playlists in the same manner as a person selects Tracks, so someone can have multiple Playlists for one event. (Might cause an issue with one Track being in multiple Playlists.)
