Rhythmbox already watches for new music files. Perhaps it should watch for removed files too, so the moment it detects the simultaneous removal and adding of a track with the same filename, it should interpret that as a directory change and just update the directory path in the database, leaving all metadata intact.
Either that, or perhaps have a new "Directory View" in which you can move tracks around and rename directories within Rhythmbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394095 Title: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/394095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
