changing rating in playlist inline editor

Hey guys,

I've recently tried to change a song's rating in the playlist. And I
didn't like it much. To change the rating you have to do the following:

1. Click the stars in the playlist.
2. Wait a little before the next click, otherwise it'll be double click.
3. Click the stars again to start inline editing.
4. Click the stars again to choose new rating.
5. Scratch your head, because now you need to save rating somehow, but
is not immediately obvious how.
6. Click one of the other edit boxes to focus them.
7. Hit enter.

So, to change the rating you have to click 4 (four) times and press
Enter 1 (one) time. Do you not think it's a bit too much? And I'm not
counting the certain amount of figuring out to do.

My suggestion is to remove all the items below and including #4 by
making the act of setting the new rating also trigger saving it and
ending editing.

This however would not please the guy at bug 223309 [1] and other
old-amarok fans, because they would also like to remove items #1 and #2
(and I personally see their point), but I do not think it is very easy
to implement.

What do you think?

Best,
