[Bug 559016] New: Amarok corrupts collection when selecting "Organise Files"
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559016 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559016#c0 Summary: Amarok corrupts collection when selecting "Organise Files" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: colin.pendred@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en-GB) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10 Using Amarok to organise the files in my Music directory causes it to corrupt the mp3 / m4a in the the directory. Rescanning the collection will temporarily show the files again (often putting them under Various Artists rather than their original listing), but they disappear shortly afterwards. The tags of the mp3 may also get corrupted. If a backup of the music folder hasn't been made before doing this, then the damage may be irreversible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In the Collection tab, right click on Local Collection and select "Organise Files" 2. Wait while Amarok rebuilds the structure Actual Results: Number of tracks will have reduced; if you look in the physical directory, then the missing track may have been renamed (e.g. had its file extension removed). If you are still able to see it in Amarok, then the tags may have been messed up. Expected Results: File should simply have been relocated. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If they are really corrupted, you should report this upstream as openSUSE devs are not experts regarding amarok. If there is a patch available you should report back for openSUSE to include it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let's just say I'm very glad I made a recent back-up before upgrading to 11.2! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've done this, using the backports version available for OpenSUSE. This version (2.2.1) removes the option to organise your files, probably taking away a dangerous option rather than fixing it. That version also seems more stable and doesn't try to put tracks under Various Artists that shouldn't be there. But it's not reading in about 10% of my library (not sure why yet) and it's lost the OpenSUSE branding. On balance, though, it seems a much better bet than the version included with 11.2, and so the backport should be considered as an upgrade for anyone having problems with the stock version in 11.2 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yet that one is only about the DB messed-up. You could ask upstream if they on purpose removed that "organise files" if so, openSUSE should do so as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
