Bug ID: 457782
Summary: Music folder resets if not reachable
Product: Elisa
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I keep my music folder on a NAS that I mount manually when I boot my desktop
computer. Sometimes, I forget to mount the NAS, and when I open Elisa, my music
folder resets from the NAS mount directory to the default (~/Music). This
indexes several thousand files that I don't want in my library, and causes me
to have to re-configure my desired music folder after mounting the NAS.
While automatically mounting the NAS may be one obvious workaround to this, the
issue would also affect the NAS or network connection going down temporarily;
if I happen to launch Elisa during one of those events, I wouldn't want my
music folder reset either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the music directory
2. Unmount or otherwise remove access to the music directory
3. Launch Elisa
OBSERVED RESULT
The music directory resets to ~/Music.
EXPECTED RESULT
The previously-configured music directory should remain configured. If it
doesn't exist, I might expect the music collection to show up as empty, and/or
an error message that one of the music folders can't be found could be
displayed.
