Smile Found a fix! Re: Booting Android deletes Playlists

Folks,

After some digging, I found a fix! ...or at least a work-around. Create an empty file called ".nomedia" in every folder where Android is deleting "playlist" files. This finally solved my problem of losing WeatherPanel layout (.wpl) files on every Android boot!

I think a .nomedia file tells Android's media scanner to ignore that folder. I'm not sure why Android is deleting playlists, or why it's not consistent across builds. Again though, adding .nomedia files solved my problem with this issue.
