[Feature Request] A setting to disable playlist dragging-and-dropping

Traktor has a feature where you can drag and drop playlists in the library sidebar. If you drag one playlist onto another playlist, it copies all the songs from the first playlist into the second playlist.

It is far too easy to activate this feature by accident, especially in the heat of the moment when DJing in a club. I have done it on several times. You don't notice immediately - it's only two weeks later when you notice all your '2000s R&B' songs are in your '1980s Pop' playlist because you accidentally dragged one playlist onto another.

Traktor already has a checkbox to disable editing in the library. When it's disabled, you can double-click any track in your library to edit a field (e.g. title, artist). When it's enabled, you can't. It would be really sweet if there was another checkbox to disable playlist dragging.

I'm only one person so I can't speak for everybody, but I would guess the "drag and drop playists" feature is probably used by accident more often than it is used deliberately. I can't think of a single time when I've wanted to add all the songs in one playlist to another. And if I did, I could just open the first playlist, select all the songs, and drag them into the other playlist. I don't need to be able to drag one playlist into another.

I have been using Traktor in bars and clubs for ten years, and this is the only negative thing I have to say about Traktor - the only thing that has made me unhappy.
