When syncing from device to PC, MMW5 insists on selecting the "Video" folder [#18436 ]

Post by Yerushalmi »

As in title. I can deselect Video on the Sync list (Device --> Library) page as many times as I like, but every time I actually perform a sync, I find Video has been reselected next time I go to that page.

The computer:
Dell Latitude 7420, 64-bit Windows 10, running MMW 5.0.2.2524.

The phone (if relevant):
Samsung Galaxy A12, running MMA version 1.4.5.0960

Are you trying to Sync other content back to the PC, if not you can disable the whole option.

Are you deselecting Video with the device connected via USB to your PC?

Yes - I'm copying my music and playlists onto the PC, but every time I do so I come back after the sync to find that "Video" has been selected again.

I've tried deselecting it both with and without the device currently being connected. Either way it gets reselected once I perform a sync. (I don't know if in practice it gets selected before or after the sync.)

AFAIR this has been fixed in 5.0.2, are you on 5.0.2.2524 ?

I see, I can confirm that the 'Video' folder is still re-added after sync with Android devices (having MMA installed).

So I've re-opened https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18436 to fix this

Workaround is to remove the 'Video' folder from the target masks in
Devices & Services > device > Sync profile > File Locations

I've had this problem as well. I also noticed in sync profile area. Where it asks about other places to scan it re selects both the music and video folders in that area after I deselect, apply, then tell my phone to sync.

Also I was curious, in the other places to scan area is that music folder different from the sync library to mmw one?
