Public bug reported:
Populate a couple of lists of songs in gmusicbrowser. Remove one or two
songs from one of them. Go to the other list. Then go back to the first.
The removed songs will have reappeared, as if by magic.
--------------------------------------------
An aside of possible significance:
There are also other, more significant, though unverified concerns with
gmusicbrowser lists. I am fairly certain that my lists have gained songs
I didn't put in them and lost songs that I did. This aside may, however,
not be as straightforward as it may seem.
Having not been catalogued, all I can see on this other point is that it
seems to have happened with a fairly significant enough frequency for it
to be a strong suspicion. I.e. there are definitely more than a few very
odd songs appeared in my carefully curated lists. If there were just one
or two I might put it down to hazy, late night flights of fancy. But its
a not small few of very strange additions. More than a few tracks have
most definately disappeared as well.
Needless to say, with the above verfified error (and the earlier
reported bug where gmusicbrowser deleted lists when the library wasn't
connected), I am now feeling quite wary of using gmusicbrowser lists -
and by extension, I am sorry to say, gmusicbrowser - at all.
However, the earlier reported bug where gmusicbrowser deleted lists when
the library wasn't connected caused me to follow a very useful piece of
advice that may (at a - distant - outside chance) have had some impact
on this aside. That is that I restored a fairly recent config file to
restore the lost lists. I also copied the list part of the config to
another machine so it could apply the same lists to the same (unchanged)
library the same external disk. There might therefore have been some
tracks added to the lists after the time of the chosen backup. And there
might have been something wrong with the mapping of the lists when moved
from one machine to another. I do doubt this though. At least a couple
of the missing tunes were definately added much earlier than the chosen
backup. And these were in lists in which the strange additions have not
been made. So it couldn't be a mapping problem, at least not evidently
there. Some of the tracks even seem to be in the wrong lists. And that
really starts to put things in a spin.
