Auto-Organize does not always update database file path

Post by TheRocket »

Hi,

I just Managed about 4000 songs this weekend, and i've found that the Auto-Organize does not always update the new song's path...

I get a lot of lost files, and in the previous version, everything was ok.

Anybody got that?

I haven't noticed any problems yet.

What do you mean with lost files? dead links or actually songs erased from your PC?

Have tried refreshing views to see what the new path info is?

Hi,

When I mean lost file, the file was properly renamed, but in the fileview in mm, the path did not changed.

It does that with a batch of 1 or many files.

I need to use the "Find moved tracks" from the file menu.

I tought it was because my songs drive was almost full (80 megs left) but I cleaned it and with 500 megs I got the same problem.

I will try more things, to see if a debug log can give me informations.

It looks like the Procedure fails to refresh the path when is it called after the AutoOrganise ...

Hahaha I've found it...

It was a "configuration" that caused that....

Just for fun.... try to find it if you can :-P





Else, the answer is here:
(The virtual cd path was the same as my songs folder, and MM was ignoring the file move, or sometimes was ignoring the new path but actually moved the file... kinda weird...)
