Bug ID: 356996 Summary: Tracks become 'never played' after modifying the root Music directory Product: amarok Version: 2.8-git Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Collections/Local Assignee: amarok-bugs-d...@kde.org Reporter: rob...@capuchin.co.uk CC: ma...@laitl.cz, ralf-eng...@gmx.de Having had problems in the past with soft links in my ~/Music directory pointing to other partitions (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349783 ) I decided to sort things out and did the following: - In amarok settings->Local collection, I removed the soft link from directories to be scanned - I let the rescan of the collection (by ok'ing the settings dialog) run to completion (so ending up with around 600 fewer tracks in the collection as the soft link was no longer followed) - I then, in local collection, added the true path to the collection area in the other partition (rather than using the soft link), ok'ed the setting dialog and let that scan run to completion. - I noticed that the collection size was around 300 tracks short of the total before I started the process, thought it odd but ignored it. - I then removed the soft link - At some point after this I realised the collection count was back at the correct number (not sure what amarok did to get this right) - Then I realised that all the music files in ~/Music at the top level (eg ~/Music/item.flac ) were in the collection but were down as having never been played and there were around 300 of these tracks - this the bug So the statistics for these files at the top level of ~/Music have been lost, I've been back into settings and made the tick box for ~/Music fully ticked (it was marked as partially ticked after removing the soft link at step 1) but so far I've not managed to get the statistics for these tracks restored. I was expecting to lose the stats for the tracks pointed to by the soft link but to lose the stats for the files in ~/Music was unexpected. (sorry this is a bit discursive but I hope it's clear!)
