Description Stéphane Magnenat 2009-01-11 21:26:38 UTC 
Version:           2.0.1 (using 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-11-generic

The new "Organize files" dialog is great. There is a bug though: each time the dialog is displayed the custom format is reseted. This is annoying to recreate the custom format each time.
Comment 1 Teo Mrnjavac 2009-01-12 00:08:48 UTC 
I can't reproduce this.
Are you saying you have to drag the tokens to form a scheme each time you reopen the dialog?
Comment 2 Stéphane Magnenat 2009-01-12 09:15:26 UTC 
Exactly.
Comment 3 Stéphane Magnenat 2009-01-12 22:34:29 UTC 
Today I tried again and the format was kept between two dialog invocations. However, later I still had the same problem. It seems that it is triggered by something else, although I haven't been able to find the cause, maybe it is related to the editing of tags. In this context, I have also seen problems such as the collection not being updated when I edit the tags, but I haven't been able to find a consistent behavior up to now. I will keep you informed if I find a better way to trigger the bug. For now, I have copy/pasted the text format from advanced to a safe location as a work-around.

@Stephane: can you reproduce this in current 2.1 beta1 or SVN? You have reported the bug when still in 2.0.1 and many things have been changed since.
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-05-15 10:39:14 UTC 
Closing for lack of feedback.
Comment 6 Andrew Ash 2009-07-17 08:47:36 UTC 
This issue has recently been observed by an Ubuntu user in Amarok 2.1.1 [https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/amarok/+bug/396233]

That user (getaceres) has been pointed here to share their observations.  Please reopen when they do so.

Thanks!

Teo, is this fixed in trunk meanwhile?
Comment 8 Teo Mrnjavac 2009-07-17 09:59:10 UTC 
It seems not, I must have forgotten about it. However I'm quite sure that this was implemented at some point so it's probably a regression. Anyway, I can confirm it now.
Comment 9 Jose 2009-07-17 10:06:27 UTC 
I'm getting this bug in Amarok 2.1.1. However, it only affects to the format composed through the drag and drop interface. If I select the "Advanced mode" and I put a custom format using tags, it remembers the format every time.
Comment 10 Kuba Serafinowski 2009-08-15 23:59:56 UTC 
I can't test it currently in latest GIT as i have no other collection but local, and it crashes here while editing path settings. could someone test it in master?
Comment 11 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-11-04 00:29:02 UTC 
Is this still valid in current git?
Comment 12 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-11-16 13:46:21 UTC 
Since the "Organized Files" dialog has been disabled in Amarok 2.2.1, I close this for now. Please do only reopen if you can reproduce this with the next Amarok version that actually ships this feature...
