Version: 2.0.90 (using KDE 4.2.2) Compiler: gcc 4.4.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package I tried to use the organize files function to move a few of my albums to another directory. I didn't notice that the directory it was set to write to was my old collection directory, with my old user name (I have recently changed my username). That is, it was trying to write to a non-existing directory, which I didn't have the permissions to create. When I clicked OK, I didn't get any warning. The files was gone from their old directory, and nowhere to be found on my system.
I managed to hit enter while I was editing the short summary. It was supposed to say: "Organize files" delete files if it don't have permission to write to the destination. Can I change this somehow? I was also going to say that I have compiled amarok myself, and I use a newly updated version of Archlinux.
The text in blue at the top of the page is actually editable... It's a whole bunch unintuitive.
Output from one file (got the same error for all the files) when I run amarok with --debug and try it on one album: amarok: copying from KUrl("file:///home/geirr/Musikk/Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness/01-A Minor Place.mp3") to KUrl("file:///home/geir/Musikk/Bonnie _Prince_ Billy/I See A Darkness/01 - A Minor Place.mp3") amarok: [WARNING!] Could not create directory QDir( "/home/geir/Musikk/Bonnie _Prince_ Billy/I See A Darkness" , nameFilters = { * }, QDir::SortFlags( Name | IgnoreCase ) , QDir::Filters( Dirs|Files|Drives|AllEntries ) )
Can somebody confirm this? Let's hope not...
I've hit the same problem, just with a little different scenario: I have my collection on the external driver. I didn't noticed that I haven't plug it in. Then after trying 'Move to collection' the files were lost.
i can't manage to reproduce this. i have the exact same output, trying to organize files into a directory i don't have permissions to, but the original files don't get deleted...
I can reproduce it here too, unfortunately: - changed the premission of destination folder test, - openened organize files, choose a file and changed the destination folder to 'test', - the file was erased from it's previous location, and of course it did not show up in the destination folder. 2.1-SVN, rev. 963220

Reminder: we need to add a warning if the target destination is not writable. Somebody?
please confirm that this is still an issue in 2.2-beta1 or newer. I think this was fixed a while ago.
fixed for me!
(In reply to comment #14) > fixed for me! Great! Closing this bug then.
