Spaces cause Add/Scan folders dialog to corrupt path

by rusty » Sun Apr 10, 2005 1:04 am

Philby,

I've tried to replicate the issue but cannot. Any additional information about the system on which the problem occurs would be appreciated.

Also, I'd be curious what happens if MM is uninstalled/re-installed.

Select "File" "Add/Rescan....."
Navigate through the folder tree with mouse, and select a specific folder (tick it).

The entry made by the software into the "Selected Folders" form as a result of the above action is corrupted as previously described.

Repeated experimentation shows that it only happens with folder names or paths that have an imbedded space eg "Program Files".

Interestingly enough, it happens on one of my machines only. Both run XPPro - both identical machines, both purchased at the same time.

Philby,

in such case please describe the exact steps to reproduce, i.e. which folder names you have checked, where did you move cursor, what you saw, etc.

Thanks,
Jiri

Rusty,

This is a little more serious that you suggest.
The bug occurs even if you select your file paths from the directory tree - no pasting or typing necessary.

quotes

Actually, all it means is that when you paste a path to the Scan Folders dialog, it should be enclosed in quotes.

We might make this even friendlier in the future by automatically creating the quotes, to make it even easier (but that could cause other usability problems).

So I gather that means a little more work is required ?

commas are inserted

The bug was partially fixed. Evidently the fix only works when the path is enclosed in quotes.

Have you tried to do the whole action again in build 851? I.e. uncheck all folders and try to check some with spaces then. Doesn't it work then? Or which steps exactly do you do?

in MM 2.4.1.851 I was told that a bug placing extra characters in my folder names when I attempt to "Add/Rescan Tracks to the Library" was fixed. I am sorry to report it has not. I just tried it out after downloading the beta - same problem - adds "\," into folder names if there is an imbedded space in the name .
