[S]kip new, Keep both, Remove old?
I have no idea how to answer this question. What are the 4+1 "old" items?
Are they the same tracks that are in the New items? Or are they totally
different? I'm not given any option to see the information. This issue
is very common especially when you have sets of files that are under "Disc
1" and "Disc 2" directories that are being merged.
My only choices are: 1. to "keep both" and then remember to go back and fix
it later (700 album imports later) 2. open a new terminal window and just
ls into the directories to see what's going on and/or use "beets list" 3.
attempt to kill off beets so I can do the same commands here, but that's
not very easy due to all the background tasks running.
Obviously choice #2 is best here and it can be worked around but this is a
UX annoyance.
