Add and Remove from Playlist via Big Box Game Detail Screen
📋 Summary
In Big Box, from the Game Detail screen, you can currently add a game to a playlist, but there is no option to remove it. This feature would add the ability to both add and remove games from playlists directly within the Game Detail screen, making playlist management more consistent and user-friendly.
🎯 Feature Overview
Expand the existing Playlists menu item in the Game Detail screen into a submenu.
Each playlist listed would show context-sensitive options:
Add to <playlist> if the game is not part of it.
Remove from <playlist> if the game is already included.
Only applies to manual playlists, as auto-populated playlists are dynamically generated and cannot be manually edited.
📦 Benefits
Makes playlist management possible entirely within Big Box.
Streamlines workflows for users on handheld PCs or couch/arcade setups where keyboard/mouse access is limited.
Reduces dependency on plugins or workarounds for something that feels like a native action.
Brings consistency between adding and removing items from playlists.

Interesting, that
Remove From Playlistoption is not something we support in the default theme, curious if you’re using a custom theme or plugin that provides that functionality.Either way, i’ve fleshed out the core of this request, as it would be nice to have
