Version: 1.4.5 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-386 If I delete all the songs of an album and the folder where thery were becomes empty Amarok should delete it. Of course this should be very carefully and not delete the parent folder if it is a collection base dir.
Agree with that. And Amarok should delete empty folders in the music tree. e.g. I have the music library sorted by first letter ("/mp3/A/Alanis Morissette/Jagged...") and I want to change that into "/mp3/Alanis Morissette/Jagged..." there stays an empty "A" directory...
This should also be taken care of when organizing tracks via the Right Click > Manage Files > Organize Files... option.
I can confirm this is still a problem with the latest version (1.4.8) in Hardy Heron.
I'm 100% sure I implemented this back in 1.4 series: the conditions where, if organising tracks, delete the folder if it was empty _and_ under a collection. Please reopen if i'm mistaken, I'll take a look to see if it's there for Amarok 2
No, this doesn't work. I just did the following: In Amarok, I went into the folder/file view, picked a single mp3 outside of my collection folder, which is completely new (I don't have this already in my collection) -> right click -> copy to collecction. The file appears correctly in my collection. In the Collection tab, navigate to this artist/song, right-click -> manage files -> delete file. Click on the Checkbox to enable completely purging from the harddisk, click ok. The file is gone, but the artist AND album folders in my collection still exist, empty. This bug is NOT at all solved.
Christian: However, are you referring to Amarok 2? Cause Amarok 1.x is no longer actively maintained, and thus irrelevant.
Yes, I am referring to 1.4.9. If it will not be fixed in Amarok1 because it is unmaintained, the bug still is not WORKSFORME, but either WONTFIX if it is not intended to fix this in Amarok 2, or left as NEw until is clear if it is fixed or not in Amarok2 or not. And "unmaintained" is strange since http://amarok.kde.org/de/node/537 says that a bugfix version recently was released, additionally to the fact that You have an unmaintained version then and a beta2 which is not intended for stable use. I *love* Aamarok, but you should make things clear: 1. If it is fixed in Amarok2 then this big is fixed, ok (I can't test that, Amarok2 nightly build is still to unstable on my Kubuntu hardy) 2. If it is not fixed in A2, or not known if fixed or not, you must leave it open. 3. If I misunderstood something here (in the bugfix behaviour) or am an complete moron ;-), just tell me and close the bug ;-)
Ok I'll just close this, thanks.
Just tested, this isn't implemented in Amarok 2
Fixed with SVN commit 860843.
I believe this bug is back in 2.0.1. Organize files does not clean up emptied directories. (Supposedly fixed in 2.0Beta 2) Can anyone confirm? Using Ubuntu 8.10
