Description Alex Lancaster 2006-02-05 10:52:38 UTC 
I removed a track from the database, then immediately try to re-add it using the "Import File".  The track doesn't reappear.

I checked the rhythmdb.xml and it the file doesn't appear to take effect immediately.  I then re-add, but the track doesn't show up.

This doesn't happen always, and it doesn't seem a probably if I re-import the entire directory, but I sometimes don't want to do that: I could lose rating information on the tracks that have already played, IIRC.

(I was doing this incidentally because I wanted rb to re-read a tags to the file upon an upgrade to a newer version of gst-plugins-good which reads the Year ID3 tag correctly, so rb didn't immediately notice the tags had changed.  Short of a "refresh tags" button, this seemed like the only workaround).

Please provide output from rhythmbox -d when this problem occurs.

In general, you should be able to re-import directories without losing any data on songs that already exist in the database.

This may be related to bug #329988, I've included some debug log in that bug that may be helpful.  In general I'm not running "-d" and it doesn't always happen if I attempt to reproduce it.

Yes, I notice that in general it does seem to keep this information.

Haven't been able to reproduce this for a while.  Closing this as INCOMPLETE for the moment.  Will re-open if it occurs again, with debugging info.
