Playlist File Updates without Overall "Force refresh everything" checked?

So I'm curious on something here - is there a way to JUST update a current playlist that you have manually updated as a forced refresh? As in, I've gone in added tracks to the playlist, it's already synced via pCloud. General sense would be, go into Astiga and move the playlist into your playlists section (this means pCloud filepath in the Storage section -> Playlist 1 -> move to Playlists.

The reason I ask, and perhaps I'm missing something here but I've made sure my pCloud is active after adding additional tracks in my existing playlist. Says "everything downloaded / everything uploaded". I go to the Astiga interface via Web, sync library. After doing that, I move the said playlist from the Storage filepath and import it to the playlists section. To make sure nothing is messed up I just delete that same named playlist from my Astiga account before I migrate the "new" version into the same spot.

The issue I'm having is it's just not updating. It remains at my prior 1,621 song count, not the higher updated count ~roughly 60+ more so like 1,681. The library is synced (without force refreshing), the file has been synced/uploaded via pCloud so all that should mean the text in the playlist should be up to date?

Perhaps it's because my playlists on my PC are living into the prior folder path outside of My Music library? I don't think that's the case given my sync log is showing: 

2026-11-15T00:29:37 START  2026-11-15 00:29:37
2026-11-15T00:29:37 GET    /Music
2026-11-15T00:29:37 GET    /Music/My Music

Main music library resides: Marko\Music\My Music

Playlist resides in Marko\Music

If I just move these playlists in the main sync folder i.e. the My Music folder should it resolve this issue moving forward? Should I just create a duplicate copy and have pCloud sync that so it'll show up as a unique file and be do that moving forward?

Thanks,

Marko

    Well I've answered my question on the duplicating the file with a unique name to solve this issue in the mean time, but it's odd that the file isn't really "updating" without a true force refresh sync even though pCloud is resyncing it with the file change of added filepath strings / songs.

    Hi - playlists are never updated by library synchronisation - it's something I've wondered about, but not implemented.

    You have to delete then re-import them from either the storage browser (left hand nav -> Storage) or the playlist bulk import page.

    Ah okay thought so. So the simplest is just creating a copy with a unique name to ensure it's captured for migration into Astiga. Not an issue for me given it's only one playlist!


    Thanks!
