GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 413038
(Option to ?) prevent import of "dotfiles" (such as Banshee's transcoded mp3s)
Last modified: 2007-02-28 13:50:47 UTC
The default behaviour of Rhythmbox should be NOT to import files starting with a dot - that is, what is normally either config files or "hidden" ones. Or files starting with ".banshee". Either that, or an option to prevent this in the "Import" dialog, but this may be against the HIG of Gnome... Reason: Banshee transcodes FLAC-files on the fly (oh, this is a reason for yet another feature request...) when sending them to my iPod. These transcodes are left in the directory (having names such as .banshee-dap-$name_of_flac.mp3) containing the FLAC-files, and are imported by Rhytmbox. Thus creating two entries for the same song (but different files).
This should be fixed by bug #346322 which was in 0.9.6, can you check that you are using 0.9.6. Feel free to re-open if you can duplicate this in the most recent release (e.g. 0.9.8). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 346322 ***
It appears that were some extra code paths not fixed by the above, but they should have been fixed in bug #395644 which was committed on 2007-01-31 and thus is in 0.9.8.
