Description Gav Wood 2002-11-03 15:44:44 UTC 
Version:           2.1.3 (using KDE 3.0.8 (KDE 3.1 beta2))
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r7

opening a .m3u playlist file (well, actually, using konqueror to call noatun with the file as an argument, though from a user's pov it's the same thing) results in the file obliterating the current playlist (not necessarily a bad thing, but perhaps an option could be given on the cmd line to set this or not) and then loading the playlist along with the actual .m3u file before the playlist contents.

obviously noatun cannot play the .m3u file so it ignores it. but the entry stays there at the top looking rather useless and is a tad confusing.
Comment 1 Roger Larsson 2002-11-04 19:02:46 UTC 
I have seen this too.  
But I do not view it as useless since it kind of groups the files contained in it  
(and the actual media names might be something very awkward) 
 
Why not use this as the grouping item it is - making the actual playable file 
a sub group?
Comment 2 Gav Wood 2002-11-04 23:39:33 UTC 
while having a "grouping" entry may be a good idea, this is still a bug. 
 
it is also worth noting that since opening a playlist outside noatun 
obliterates anything there already, you could never get two playlists in the 
box at once; thereby making the "grouping" behaviour redundant.
Comment 3 Stefan Gehn 2004-03-07 19:13:18 UTC 
Does this still happen in KDE 3.2? I cannot reproduce it.
Comment 4 Stefan Gehn 2004-06-05 10:54:15 UTC 
Resolving as WORKSFORME because of lack of reply and the fact that it works on this system. Adjusting product because it's about splitplaylist
