Version: 2.1.1 (using KDE 4.2.90) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Cannot append a music folder to the *end* of the playlist by drag 'n dropping using nautilus. I can perfectly append it to any other part of the playlist but not at the end - after the last track on the playlist.
Created attachment 34815 [details] Screencast of the bug
Confirmed with Dolphin, 2.2-SVN r 994561, Kubuntu 9.04, KDE 4.2.95
*** Bug 175888 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There already is a workaround for this: 1. Open the file browser in Amarok 2. Right click on the track you want to append 3. Select "Append to playlist" This works flawlessly everytime, regardless how long the playlist is. If you absolutely need to use an external file browser: 1. drag to the second last position 2. drag the last track to second last position there you go :)
There are many situations when it is not comfortable to use internal amarok file browser - for example I have inserted cd disk/flash drive and dolphin window is opened from device notifier plasmoid. It is natural to drag files from the opened dolphin window and not to navigate again to the same folder from amarok. And actually full-featured dolphin would be always more comfortable for navigation than amarok internal browser. The issue is not critical, but a bit annoying - yesterday I felt that when needed to construct playlist from many files located in different folders on filesystem. Vote for this bug.
Well, it's so strange. This bug is serious UI fault if we call it properly. It makes considerable part of playlist management impossible (not only inserting from browser, but also regrouping existing tracks inside playlist). The item _should be_ able to be inserted to the end of playlist, because it's logically follows the possibility to insert to other positions. It's really unclear to me why this bug is still there since 2.0 beta states and has so low priority.

Ranting will certainly not make this go faster...
Thanks for your advice, but it's so hard to with such things about bug reports :) I don't know about development priorities but I can say about my (user) priority and that's what I wrote about. I really didn't want ranting or posting any complaints - I just wanted to point out to the important bug which persists for a very long time and is almost ignored.
Alexey, JFYI: we don't ignore bugs, if it were so, there wouldn't be a single comment from our side here, and there are at least 4 :) Subscribing Nikolaj as this is his field.
OK, thank you. It's better that i'm wrong in this case :)
I will have a look at it... It's not that I don't _want_ to solve every single bug in here immediately, but unfortunately my experiments with creating a clone army and/or extending the day to 35 hours are not progressing too well at the moment. I will try to find the time to have a look at this one... at some point...

typos can be funny sometimes :)
I seem to manage to fix the problem after some digging. Could you please test it and maybe it's appropriate to apply it to the trunk? The patch is for 2.2.0 release branch.

No promises on when I will have time to test this. When I catch up enough at work and on homework I like to work on LMMS.

Andy, could you please make a merge request on Gitorious at http://gitorious.org/amarok so the devs can have a look at the patch?
Created attachment 38504 [details] Updated version Alexey Chernov that applies cleanly with current git head I've just tested the patch and it works nicely: I was able to successfully drag to the bottom of the playlist, and other drags seem unaffected, and still work fine. Attached is Alexey's patch corrected to apply cleanly to current git.
Ivo, thank you for your corrections and good words. Hope it will be merged.

Ivo, please make a merge request to Gitorious, as described in Comment #19

I think this is fixed in git now, without this patch. Using amarok "2.2.1.90" from the opensuse build service I can now append to the end of the playlist.
