Yes! Updating my review because, at least today 5/1/22 - you CAN use this to save extremely long Watch Later queues to a new playlist. The process is somewhat involved:
* Go to your Watch Later playlist. The playlist in the sidebar will only contain the first 100 videos.
* Scroll down to the bottom of the playlist. This will load another 100 video links onto the page
* Keep scrolling down, every time the next 100 videos load, until your entire playlist is loaded.
* Your browser may warn you that the page has become unresponsive from time to time. Persevere.
* When your entire playlist is loaded, click the select all checkbox from the menu provided by the extension on every video.
* Click the save to playlist option from the menu extension. Fwiw, I needed to save to an existing playlist to have it work.
* Boom. Your watch later is now a playlist.

If you cannot load all your watch later items for some reason (computer slows down too much etc) Then save 1/2 your items this way, then do the same with the list reversed (ie oldest videos first).

Great extension. Would you consider adding an option to bulk remove selected videos from your watch history, but from a different playlist? Is that even possible? Sometimes I accidentally leave something like my "watch later" playlist playing on a device and it ends up marking a bunch of stuff as watched and the only way to reset the status is for me to manually go through my watch history and remove them one by one. Quite annoying.

This extension works quite well for me! Thanks!

Below is my feature request:
Can you add a slight delay among videos that are being batch-added to a playlist? Currently if I MultiSelect many videos and add them to a playlist, they will be added instantly and all share the same timestamp. The problem is, since they have the same timestamp, Youtube can't sort them properly... or technically they are sorted correctly, just not in the way I want.

For example, let's say I have 3 videos: A, B, C, and a playlist. In case that I add them manually to the playlist, with an order A goes first then B then C. Then when I open the playlist's page, click "SORT" then choose "Date added (oldest)", they will be shown in the order: ABC. If I choose "Date added (newest)", they will be shown in the order: CBA. Just saying it works as I expect.

But in case that I use MultiSelect to add ABC into the playlist, they will all have the same "Date added" timestamp. When I sort the playlist by either "Date added (oldest)" or "Date added (newest)", the results will be the same, currently I believe both are in the order: ABC. Technically, both Youtube and MultiSelect are working correctly, but from time to time I would like to have the playlist sorted in reverse order (in this case: CBA), which is currently impossible.

You may ask, why I need to sort them in reverse order when I added them at the same time in the first place. The thing is, I could have a large playlist that I have added videos to it for a while, manually, and I wish to retain the order the videos have been added. In this way I can sort them ascendingly or descendingly to fit my usage. On the other day I may want to split or copy the playlist into other playlists, with the help of MultiSelect, and I still wish to retain the order.

Hope my explanation isn't too messy or too confusing. Thanks in advance!
