Onus of checking for duplicates lies on the issue creator read this comment to find why.
I searched for "is:issue automatic save queue" as more of a feature for comfortness if something goes wrong with the playing device, caused by either app (happens more often especially when rotating and playing in a popup) or other device problems like memory consumption or battery issues. At the moment saving the current queue is cumbersome, so IMHO auto-saving the current queue would be a helpful and sensible feature.
@ShareASmile When we close as duplicate we are supposed to link to the duplicate issue. We want to make things easier for people. I for one searched for "save queue", and I cannot find any open issue that is about this, and I looked at all the 19 issues that showed up in the results.
I was not able to find a duplicate issue.
I also seemed to have misplaced the motivation to contribute to this project after this encounter; perhaps @ShareASmile could use some of his own sweet time to help me find it again?
I am reopening this issue as I am unable to find any issue about it. @ShareASmile If you are able to find the issue this is a duplicate of, please link to it, otherwise please leave this open
