Description Michel Poleur 2011-08-20 09:58:09 UTC
Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

After clicking the "Run APG with the selected preset", the message "Generating a new playlist" is displayed. Amarok seems to work as the progress bar goes to 50 or 100%.
But the task never finishes.

I tried with an existing preset and a new one (with only one constraint) and the behaviour was always the same.

Clicking the "Abort" button near the progress bar clears the message "Generating a new playlist" but still the playlist is not generated and every button is still grayed out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose "Media Sources Home", "Playlists", "Automated Playlist Generator"
1. Select a preset
2. Click on "Run APG with the selected preset"

Actual Results:  
The task never finishes. No playlist is generated. Every button ("Add new preset", "Edit selected preset",...) is grayed out.

Expected Results:  
A playlist is generated.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop
Compiler: gcc
