Adds a "Save current columns as default" entry to the playlist header's right-click menu, next to "Reset columns to default".

It saves the current column order, widths, visibility, sort indicator and per-column text alignment to settings. "Reset columns to default" then restores this saved layout instead of falling back to the built-in default column layout, if one was saved. Behavior is unchanged when no default has been saved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Playlist headers now support saving the current layout as a default. Reset restores a compatible saved layout when available and otherwise uses the built-in layout. Saved state includes the header version and column alignments.

Changes

Playlist header defaults

Layer / File(s) Summary
Header state persistence
src/constants/playlistsettings.h, src/playlist/playlistview.h, src/playlist/playlistview.cpp
PlaylistView saves header state, version, and column alignments in settings. Reset loads the saved state when its version matches the current version and resets alignments when restoration fails.
Header save action
src/playlist/playlistheader.h, src/playlist/playlistheader.cpp
PlaylistHeader adds a context-menu action that saves the current header state through PlaylistView.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6afbc

The change adds saving and restoring a user-defined playlist column layout, with existing behavior preserved when none is saved. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

object or calling beginGroup, so the context-menu action cannot persist header
defaults in read-only mode.

I don't quite understand the need for this. The primary reason I made the reset column to default was because someone might mess up the columns completely, or there is bug introducing a stuck state. But if introducing this it will be possible to save a broken column state as the default with no way to restore except manually editing the config.
