Bug#527014: not a complete fix
Hmm - I only noticed now that the last message was from well over a year ago. Any news on this? I'm still hitting this problem in rhythmbox 0.12.8-2 (sid). It doesn't happen often (5 files out of 1) but that's still enough to be annoying... It looks like not much has moved the last year; what seems to be the blocker? I can't imagine it to be very hard to come up with a way to rename each file to some unique identifier (like the .mp3 mentioned) so there must be other complications. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The patch addresses the case where name collisions happen by truncation, but not other cases. Alright, let's re-forward this to #442137 which is about always renaming songs to an .mp3 pattern. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

tags 527014 -fixed-upstream thanks The upstream patch does not fix the complete problem described in this Debian bug report. The patch addresses the case where name collisions happen by truncation, but not other cases. Some uniquification needs to happen beyond this randomly change filenames stuff; but at least, it needs to address cases more generally. I have 120 files in my music library titled 1.mp3. These will not be truncated, and because the ipod support limits itself to one hundred directories, I can have no more than one hundred of these at a time. And even that's a problem, because it tries five random directories per file, and then gives up. Something like this patch should be done on *every* filename, not just the truncated ones.
