Bug Description

When you delete a playlist there is no "confirm" dialog (that's good, "confirm" dialogs suck) nor a way to undo it (that's bad).

Victor, what do you think about sort of copying Midori's "Undo Close Tab" here? We could put a context menu item for the sidebar "Undo Delete Playlist" ?

What about displaying "Playlist deleted. <u>Undo</u>" in place of deleted playlist? Then if user ignores it for some time, it disappears.

I like both solutions, though the sidebar context menu is not discoverable; most users would never think of secondary-clicking it. My proposal would be displaying an infobar with a "Undo" button, but it may not be the ideal widget.

Daniel, the final say is yours. I will implement whatever you decide.

I like Grzegorz' idea. Do you think that's possible to do?

Untargetting from beta2. This is more of a feature request than a bugfix.
