Description Nico Kaiser 2006-01-03 15:34:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After an upgrade from RB 0.9.2 to the current CVS version, all (non-automatic
"static") playlists are empty. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade Rhythmbox
2. Start Rhythmbox
3. Browse one of your playlists


Actual results:
see description

Expected results:
All playlists should be available

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
As far as I understand the RB code, when a file is updated (ctime), it's deleted
and then re-imported. In my opinion this is fatal, because playlist entries and
the rating are lost then. Only the metadata provided in the file should be re-read.
Comment 1 James "Doc" Livingston 2006-01-03 22:42:28 UTC 
This is  bug 319278. The bug always existed, but Rhythmbox's new behaviour of hiding tracks until they are checked to still exist has made it worse, and having to re-read all files to get Year metadata makes it almost certain to occur when upgrading from 0.9.2 to cvs.
