Sync Preferences Missing
Last modified: 2015-06-30 15:45:18 UTC
Created attachment 306262 [details] Screenshot of bug Devices/USBDevice/Poperties/Sync/Sync Preferences "Sync Preferences" window is missing, the window where I would select which music to copy to the external device is missing. Happens with all external devices.
calling this 'critical' is a bit much.
fixed in commit 589a715. you can apply this (and the following commit e02d268) manually without needing to recompile anything, if you like.

I see that e02d268 has code which I suppose I should copay and paste to a fine in my computer. Since my expertise level with Linux is limited to downloading the latest version of Fedora and upgrading my existing setup, I have no idea how to do this. Any help will be much appreciated. I used to sync all my music up via this tab and now the Sync Preferences section just disappeared.
This isn't usually a good idea, but you can apply the updated files to your rhythmbox install by running these commands in a terminal: wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/plain/data/ui/media-player-properties.ui wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/plain/data/ui/sync-state.ui sudo mv media-player-properties.ui /usr/share/rhythmbox/ sudo mv sync-state.ui /usr/share/rhythmbox/ Doing this sort of thing can easily break parts of your system, so please be careful if you decide to do it.
