Please describe the problem:
When you rename a directory in the Music library while RhythmBox is open, it thinks that the files are completely new. This causes all the tracks to lose their ratings, metadata, etc. The old tracks are still seen but are now unplayable, and when Rhythmbox restarts it then removes the old tracks as being unavailable.

Package and OS info:

This is present in Rhythmbox 0.11.6.
I use Fedora 10

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open rhythmbox with at least one directory of music files in the Library directory.
2) Rename that directory.

Actual results:
3) The new directory is detected and the files are scanned, creating new music tracks in the directory.
4) The existing tracks are still present but unplayable.
5) When Rhythmbox is restarted, the existing tracks and their metadata is removed.

Expected results:
3) Nothing changes - the tracks remain the same, their metadata is preserved, and the paths to them are corrected in Rhythmbox's library.


Does this happen every time?
Yes
