Description

Description

As the title says. It's sometimes tiresome after a series of modifications of the collection, either by renames from automated tools, or preparing softpatched hacks to refresh the playlists manually. And manually in my case just means going down the list from the manage playlist options for each one.

It would be a boon to have the option somewhere in the playlist menu to do it for all of them, not just single ones.

Research direction

Start by locating the playlist menu and the existing refresh and clean playlist actions in RetroArch. Trace how those actions select a single playlist, then define the all-playlists behavior for refresh and, if included, clean; done means the menu can apply the selected operation across every playlist.
