For as long as I can remember, when I moved music files around on my LMS server, usually to rebalance the amount of used/free space across a number of HDs, if one of my playlists referred to one of the moved files, I would see an entry in the server/scanner log that the file couldn't be found but the playlist would not be modified so I could manually edit it and correct the item to use the new file location.
It now appears that if an item in a playlist is not found, it is deleted from the playlist. I don't know if there is an entry written to the log because it also appears that the scanner log is overwritten every time so I can't scroll back through previous scans to see what might have happened. I am strongly opposed to deleting items from playlists! It takes a lot of thought and time to create them and I don't want them to be modified without my specific instructions/actions to do so. I'm hoping that I have an older copy of a couple of the key party playlists that will still have the entries that were removed. And yes, I realize that I should back them up, not just replicate them, but I really didn't expect LMS to be changed in such a way that it would modify them without my knowledge. My requests would be to restore the previous behavior, write a log entry that the file cannot be found but leave the playlist unmodified, and to append scans to the scanner log, not overwrite it each time. I (and anyone else) can easily choose to periodically reset/delete the log if necessary, but it's considerably more effort to remember to archive the old log before running another scan to avoid losing it.
