Version: 2.4.90 (2.5 beta) (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux After updating amarok, all my saved playlists (xspf) are shown twice in the saved playlist sidebar. Additionally all names are gone. E.g. playlists are shown without names. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: -wipe all amarok files in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/ and $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok -start without letting collectionscanner run (collection left blank) -close amarok, copy over "old" xspf-playlists generated with amarok or clementine into $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists start amarok again Actual Results: as described above, playlists empty-named, shown twice. Scanning collection has no influence. In the overwiew tab "playlists on hd" only 9 playlists are shown as it would be correct, still 18 ones are listed. Expected Results: Properly import all playlists under $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists with the names properly displayed. none i think
Ohhh, EDIT: Deleting one of those duplicate files also erases both entries and additionally the according file from disc!

(In reply to comment #0) > -close amarok, copy over "old" xspf-playlists generated with amarok or > clementine into > start amarok again Is it possible those playlist files (a copy) are also in the collection folder(s)? Collection scanner automatically imports those. You are not supposed to copy them to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists manually, it's where amarok saves the file when you press the "save to playlist file" button.
(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=66330) [details] > Here is a screenshot of the problem That is a real bug. It's caused by doing a lookup using the playlist name. But AFAIKT it should only delete the first duplicate.

Oops you are right. I already named the files on that screenshot. Well, I want Amarok to display MY playlists in the sidebar, so copying them to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists worked for me. In my case it is even a symlink to another directory. This directory is residing under /home/user/mp3/playlists while my collection lives under /home/user/mp3/all, /home/user/mp3/mixed and so on. So I guess the answer to your question is no. I tried to just copy all the playlists to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists, because maybe the symlinking would be problematic, but no change.
Is this still valid with Amarok 2.5?
Yes, still here with 2.5 and KDE-4.8.0
Thank you for the feedback.
Should be resolved with current development version, plase reopen if not. (you may want to wait till Amarok 2.6)
