Description baum-im-wald 2007-03-10 23:01:43 UTC
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 2.6.17-11-generic

-change the metadata of an audio file so that relevant information field are _very_ long (e.g. a long album name and a ling title)

-open the organise dialog for this file

-if album name and track title are respected in the target file name/ directory, the target file's path will of course be very long. the problem is that the Preview field in the dialog does not shorten it but simply adjusts the window's width in order to display the whole path -- the window might not even fit on the screen anymore.

I am sorry but this will not get fixed in Amarok 1.4 as we are focused on Amarok 2 now.

Thank you for your report.
