GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 618290
Detect duplicates when importing
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:52:43 UTC
When importing images, F-Spot has the option to detect duplicates. That is useful, since we share a photo folder. I want the same option for Banshee. E.g. because there is some music on my stick which I put there myself (so it is in the library already), and some new music I got from a friend. I then want to import all of it and have it filed and sorted automatically. Right now, Banshee imports the music already in the library again, adding a (1) to their name (if the renaming option is on). Another use case: with Soundconverter I convert an entire folder, some of the files are already mp3s, so they aren’t changed. I import the new files.
There is a Launchpad downstream bug here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/501484
I think this issue is still occuring with master release or at least with 1.9.2 version, just for the record.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
