GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 612855
Album browser does not refresh artwork immediately after changes are made to metadata
Last modified: 2010-03-14 14:00:04 UTC
Overview: When you edit the metadata of a track such that it's album, artist, or album-artist is changed, resulting in one entire album disappearing or appearing in your music library, the album browser does not reflect this immediately, with the old albums still displayed in the browser. Only after one scrolls in the album browser panel will the change be reflected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pick any track. 2. Change it's album tag to some random album name that does not exist in your library, but that is preferably alphabetically right after the original album tag, such that the change is visible. For example, if the album was "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven", change it to something like "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven2". Actual results: No change is observed in the album browser. Using the above example, if originally the album shown in the browser after "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" was "Loveless", clicking on "Loveless" would bring you to your newly created album "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven2". Scrolling in the album browser refreshes it, and the right albums are displayed in the right places, fixing the problem. Expected results: The album browser should immediately be refreshed after a change is made to the metadata. Using the above example, a new album "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven2" should immediately appear in between "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" and "Loveless" in the album browser, and not only after scrolling in the album browser.
The underlying issue is the same as in bug 612603, should be fixed in git master. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 612603 ***
