Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Gutsy, Rhythmbox 0.11.2, Gnome desktop, fresh install, all updates.
I went to reinstall my wifes computer (got rid of windows partition), so
I backed up her old home directory including her music collection,
tarred it up, and copied it a different server. She had been running
feisty and using amarok to copy music to her ipod. I proceeded to
install gutsy on her computer from scratch.
I untarred her music collection into her new home 'Music' directory
under gutsy, and I fired up rhythmbox to see if it would import the
files fine (and thus she can stop using amarok), and after I checked the
'Watch for new files' option, I was greeted with only 6 songs, and 6178
import errors. Every file and directory that has a space in the name
(or directory) produced a line like this:
Couldn't access :
file:///home/katy/Music/311/From%20Chaos/32%20Amber.mp3: File not found.
Obviously, it seems it's taken the %20 a little too seriously :) A
regular 'ls' on the directory seems to show spaces, and Rhythmbox
appearently got it right at least at some point because it saw the file
was there to begin with.
This is kindav a big bug, as it makes rhythmbox completely useless for
me at least, and I suspect quite a few others if you really can't import
an existing directory tree with spaces in the filenames.
