Description William Jon McCann 2013-05-20 15:53:06 UTC 
I added music to my Music folder and the app didn't notice. It only showed up after restarting the app.

A possible fix for Songs view would be using a GtkTreeModelSort then get the tracks from Tracker via queries sorted by the time they were added. This needs some changes to libgd though because GdMainView currently accepts only GtkTreeModelFilter or GtkListStore. This might work on albums or artists view too, but I haven't looked much into it yet.

Another alternative suggested by Allan Day would be to have a "Refresh Library" button.

any update on this ?
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2013-09-10 19:34:55 UTC 
not going to happen for 3.10, I assume
Comment 5 Arnel Borja 2013-09-11 15:20:24 UTC 
I'm having a problem with how the tracker queries return albums, so I can't fix it for now. Sai is trying out a different approach, but he thinks it won't make it into 3.10.

We might fix the Songs view, but we probably can't fix it in the other views for this cycle.

Good, its a nice start, however it doesn't update removed albums/artists in the view (album/artist is displayed empty)

Good, tested this a bit and it works (I think we can address other issues in new bugs). Pushed as https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-music/commit/?id=5d16c7b
Comment 10 Vadim Rutkovsky 2014-03-19 14:38:53 UTC 
The fix caused a regression - bug 726713
Comment 11 Vadim Rutkovsky 2014-04-17 17:48:50 UTC 
Closing as works, regression will be handled in a different bug
