Then I make changes within a given subfolder and/or to the subfolder itself, for example, renaming via Nautilus, Soundconverter, or Cowbell, or a combination thereof. The next time I launch Rhythmbox, it shows nonexistent files in the library. For example, where there is only one file, there are two other copies still shown; one copy is the way the file/folder/both was previously named, and the other copy is in a non-existent folder way outside of the library, with a peculiar name, "/home/dg/(null)/filename" (if the "null" folder exists, I cannot locate it). In the attached screenshot, the file circled in red is the only file actually present. This did not happen to me in previous versions of Rhythmbox, at least, not that I am aware of. I'm not sure it was even occurring during the week or two I had done a dist-upgrade from the ~64 bit~ version of Natty to the Oneiric RC (and thus the GTK+3 version of Rhythmbox) before doing a clean install of the 32 bit version of the Oneiric final release. Unticking and reticking the watch for changes in library option combined with restarting Rhythmbox and rebooting the computer has no effect. Manually right-clicking on a file in the library view in Rhythmbox, and selecting "move to trash" has no effect other than to place a red error icon on the row of the file in question. Only selecting "remove" in the right-click context menu actually removes it. ********* This time around, after the fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, and installing Rhythmbox, and uninstalling Banshee, the only thing I did before setting my library folder was to manually copy and paste some iradio entries into the ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmbox.db xml database file before it got cluttered with thousands of non-iradio entries (songs). The "missing files" function in the library UI was briefly working today, as was the "import errors" function, now no files show up as missing, even though they are actually missing. I don't know what changed to cause the different behavior. ********* Oddly, this bug seems like it may have cured a separate, longstanding bug I've had with Rhythmbox: usually when I restarted Rhythmbox in the past, a restart took two attempts, the first attempt resulting in a crash and the second attempt actually restarting Rhythmbox. So far this does not seem to be happening, but if it resumes I will note it here.
