Suggestion: Saving queues for later (Multiple selections, Extend json import/export, Queue -> Playlist) #37

Having a way to save the current queue (ideally to a playlist) would be nice. This is a feature I use pretty frequently in related programs like newpipe, and youtube itself also has a similar feature.
Right now, the best (only?) way I can find to save the current queue is to manually right click and add songs from the queue into a playlist, which is frankly annoying enough that I don't bother.

A few ideas for solutions (not mutually exclusive);

  1. First, the obvious. Add a command that converts the current queue into a new playlist (or overwrites). Maybe as a button next to shuffle/clear?
  2. Extend the json export/import functionality to the queue would probably be easier to implement. It'd also increase composability later with a cli (Ex. create/adjust a queue and pipe the result into sunder).
  3. Or, addressing some of the underlying ux problem, add the ability to select/interact with multipe songs, with the usual hotkeys (ctrl-a, ctrl/shift-click, etc). This would also be nice to have just as a general feature, not just for queues.

I'm open to working on this myself when I have the time, just wanted to get the issue up first.
Please let me know if I missed something, or with any suggestions. Thanks!
