Description Sven Arvidsson 2006-04-01 21:27:27 UTC 
After you edit metadata in any file, it gets re-added to the library, and the "date added" field is updated.

This is annoying as it, for example, makes a mess of automatic playlists with only new music.

Sometimes (most often when changing tags for several files) Rhythmbox also seems to try to import the temporary files created when updating metadata. This results in unnecessary import errors.

Does this happen with specific kind of filesystems (e.g. sshfs?) or are they local files?  This shouldn't happen, but there have been problems with retagging on filesystems that don't support renaming like sshfs, see bug #337413.

Also which version of gstreamer?
Comment 2 Alex Lancaster 2006-04-12 08:22:31 UTC 
I managed to reproduce this by editing tags in tagtool, I notice the "date added" was updated to the date of editing the tags, not the original added date.

Note I have file/directory monitoring OFF.

After some debugging by Alex via irc, this has been fixed in cvs.
