Description Niels 2004-02-01 15:36:21 UTC

Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 3.2.0 RC1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.1-gentoo

I often save a playlist.m3u in a directory with a ripped cd. But Noatun saves all file information in the file with absolute paths, which means that the directory can't be moved. XMMS also does this.
My suggestion is that Noatun determines if all the files are in same folder as I try to save the playlist to, and then makes the paths relative. Another solution is to simply provide an option for this setting - absolute/realtive.

Just an fyi that KURL now has a function to determine this for you so you don't have to write your own function.  I use it in KAudioCreator.

noatun has not been part of the KDE 4 release and is no longer maintained.

KDE now offers Dragon as a video player and JuK as a music player. Additionally, other popular KDE players have been ported to KDE 4, such as Amarok or Kaffeine.

If this issue is still applicable to KDE 4 applications, please add a comment or file a new report.
