LMS provides the favorites framework and stores favs in a file called -favorites.opml-. But there's no need to edit them in that file, you can do so in the default skin: click the edit button next to Favorites and then again next to the fav you want to edit. Favorites saved by DPL3 basically follow the same pattern as the URLs you know, just a different protocol at the beginning: -dynamicplaylist://- instead of -http://-, followed by the dynamicplaylistid (part of which is the filename) + parameters, if applicable.
Rescanning only invalidates favs if a dynamic playlist contains certain -user-input- parameters, i.e. it asks you for input (e.g. select genres) -when you start- the dynamic playlist. And that applies only to input parameters like artist/contributor IDs, album IDs, genre IDs playlist IDs. The fav url does not contain the name of artists, albums or genres but their database IDs. Otherwise you could end up with a monstrously long url and run into encoding problems. So the easiest and quickest way to restore such a fav is to -delete and readd- it. If your dynamic playlist does -not- contain user-input parameters, check if it is listed in DPL3's menu. Maybe you changed the filename? Or it has the wrong file extension (see the post before yours)? Should be filename*.sql* I hope that was helpful. Good luck.
