Only first FOUR Region Playlists accessible by actions. Would love to see actions for more playlists!

I would love to be able to start more than the first four Region Playlists using actions.
Only the first four are exposed:

I want to use region playlists in a live situation and I need more than four of them. The dropdown to select them from a list is exceptionally tiny and far too close to the [-] button that will delete the current playlist with no prompt!!

I tried calling _'S&M_PLAY_RGN_PLAYLIST5' from in a ".lua" script but that didn't work (_S&M_PLAY_RGN_PLAYLIST1 to 4 does).

I would love to be able to access at least the first 20x playlists from nice big buttons on a button toolbar. It seems a lot of work has gone into the Region playlist functionality but the UI is to small to be useable in a live situation. No problem for me as long as more functionality is accessible from actions.

Is this likely to happen? Or is there a workaround I'm missing? I have a certain amount of coding ability and had a look at "SnM_RegionPlaylist.h" and "SnM_RegionPlaylist.cpp". It looks like I need to call
void PlaylistPlay(int _playlistId, int _itemId); with a playlistId of more than 4 but I'm not sure how to!
Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit the line with S&M_PLAY_RGN_PLAYLIST=4 in <resource path>/S&M.ini.

Thanks cfillion. That worked perfectly. Thanks so much for the quick response. I bought you a coffee and donated towards SWS as well.
One small thing I find unexpected /annoying is that empty region playlists get deleted on reopening the project.
If I'm making a playlist for 5 songs on a setlist and want to start with song 5 the logical thing is to add five playlists and edit the 5th. But when you restart the project then playlists 1-4 get deleted unless you have at least one region into them. This obviously means that the button that played playlist 5 now does nothing and your playlist 5 is now 1, and can't be reordered back to 5 (I'm aware of copy paste but that only copies to a new playlist not an existing one so is very limited).

Not a deal breaker but I'd be worried that I'd get distracted while working on a playlist and accidentally remove all of the regions then all my buttons would be wrong the next time I went to the project!

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks! Empty region playlists are outright skipped when saving the project. Deleting those without warning seems a bit surprising so I've patched it in #1823.

Hi @cfillion sorry for pestering you, I'm not sure if you saw my other issue #1826 with region playlists. Is there anything I could do ? I have a Céilí coming up on Monday and I haven't been able to get my regions to play back smoothly! :-/
