Description munlinux 2007-01-20 18:00:25 UTC
Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Labeled wishlist, only a minor bug.

Sometimes, when dragging from the collection, the number of discs is not shown at all. In an artist/disc -sorted collection browser I can grab an artist and be shown "59 songs  " - omitting the number of discs (6). Still, again in genre-based browsing, I can correctly get e.g. 109 songs / 7 discs. Then again, I have another genre with 89 songs / 7 discs, and for this the number of discs isn't shown. The info seems to work for me with categories having 2 or 3 discs and fail for a number of other categories with 4-6 discs... go figure.

The behaviour does not vary, i.e. it is consistent.

One more observation: if selecting and dragging multiple categories that separately show the number of discs also show it when combined. If a category not showing this is included, the end result is that the number isn't shown. Something to do with how the collection / database is parsed?

For the record, I am using a translation (Finnish), in case this is relevant.

I figure this is a separate issue from bug 133916, in which the issue is with a bogus number of discs in connection with compilation albums

Well, a bug is a bug. However, you should upgrade to 1.4.4 to make sure it's still valid
Comment 2 richlv 2007-01-22 09:15:37 UTC
confirmed in revision 626073. some entries with 5 albums are shown some are not. 7 and more are never shown, as far as i could tell.

As far as I can remember, this behaviour is intended: it should speed up showing the drag tooltip.
Comment 4 munlinux 2007-01-28 09:11:59 UTC
Seems odd, IMHO. Why show it for some categories and not for others?

And if you look at my example above, it seems to be somewhat inconsistent too - 109 songs / 7 discs is shown, whereas with the smaller number, 89 songs / 7 discs, the number of discs is omitted.

Can you specify what exactly is the intended behaviour, please?

comment from KDE bugsquad member

I can reproduce this on 1.4.9.1. It doesn't seem to depend on the number of tracks/albums selected but it's still reproducable in that if you make the same selection again, you'll get the same result (tooltip without number of albums). The feature is not yet in Amarok2 trunk r820602 so I can't check there.

Closing based on Michael's comment.

Thank you for your report.
