Bug Description
Currently exaile only saves your playlist changes if you cleanly exit the program. This means if exaile crashes, or has to be killed due to a hang, your playlist changes are lost.
Because of dynamic playlist features saving at every playlist change would be unreasonable, so I am requesting that exaile periodically save the running playlist every X minutes

reacocard> perhaps "save playlist x second after last change, and at least every y
minutes" -01:25PM-
<hednod> right -01:26PM-
<SiDi_> if you have dynamic PLs it means write to HDD every 5 secs -01:29PM-
<SiDi_> that would be insane -01:29PM-
<SiDi_> Instead we prefer having exaile never crashing ! :D -01:29PM-
<reacocard> not every 5 secs, mroe every 5 minutes -01:29PM-
<reacocard> which is still rather often -01:29PM-
<hednod> well you could ahve it save every change, but no more often than 10 minutes
-01:29PM-
<reacocard> hm, save 1 minute after last change, no more often than every 10-15? -01:30PM-
<hednod> if no change for the last X minutes, save immediately, else wait Y minutes
-01:31PM-
<SiDi_> and sync writes to disk with read from disk to avoid waking the HDD :P -01:31PM-
<reacocard> SiDi_: tie te save into track change signals then, perhaps -01:31PM-
<SiDi_> this could also be a base for custom playlist autosave -01:31PM-
