Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368174 If you have a single MP3 in a directory, and use the "Files" pane to view that file in the directory, and then right-click the file and "Move file to collection...", Amarok will then delete the directory. This is quite annoying when I have a script running that dumps files into that directory, which then fails because the directory no longer exists.
I agree, this sounds like a bug.
Well this is a silent feature which i snuck in because i found it useful. After using the organise music feature, empty directories would be left within the collection folder, and its really bloody annoying to remove them.
A work-around is to put a file that won't be organized into this directory - e.g. do 'touch .keep'. I agree with Mark that this feature can be seen as a bug, but I also think that it comes in quite handy at times. Perhaps it should be disabled, if files being organized are not yet part of the collection dirctory hierarchy?
